5 Things I Love About My BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

KB_BRZ · 02-23-2017, 01:24 PM

Since there is a 'Dislike' Thread I figured it was appropriate to have a Love thread.

Thought it was interesting to see that some people have the same thoughts over what they liked the least. So feel free to share your favorite things about yours!

1) Seating Position/ Seats - Its like a perfectly tailored suit
2) Handling - The turn in is so incredible its always putting a smile on my face!
3) Balance - Taking the car through back streets and really getting a feel for what this car is made for
4) Transmission - Its just so short and easy to shift that makes you want to fly through them
5) Looks - I park far away from other cars and just walking up to it makes me excited to get behind the wheel

Limited Slip Diff Standard

Black Headliner Standard

No buttons on the small steering wheel

Fuel efficiency to power ratio

Character and drive.

Turn-in is the most incredible thing after driving the car for just a week. I used to think that people are just BS about how a car handles, but now i feel it myself.

I actually love the steering wheel buttons on the 2017, saves me from having to touch stupid piano black buttons and getting fingerprints/smudges on them.

I made a video a while back for mine =)

I love that they added rear seats. Not even joking.

Mine hasn't arrived yet, so can't really give a 5 things yet, but I know that's one of the 5 reasons I decided to get one. How amazing is it for long trips to have actual cabin storage space vs, say, a Miata. Plus they fold down for long items through the trunk. PLUS, you may even squeeze a live human in there occasionally when it's really needed.

1. The handling.
2. The feel of driving a well-balanced manual RWD sports car.
3. The looks, especially rear three quarter profile.
4. The seats and driving position.
5. The fact that a year after getting it, I still love giving it a thrashing.

I love it. BRZ is an amazing car, ridiculously good for the money. The road feel is awesome, the limits are so approachable it makes the experience fantastic.

road feel
seats
Limited slip
OE tires that let you slide around!
so many parts available for reasonable money

But I think the balance could be better. On the street it's great, but at the track it understeered too much for me. Off the showroom floor, mine had 0 front camber and -1.5 at the back. $29 camber bolts and an alignment later, and the balance is superb. I set the front to -1.8, so nothing crazy. Best $130 I ever spent on a car.

1) LOOKS
2) EASILY TOSSABLE
3) SO EASY to PARK ALMOST ANYWHERE
4) EZ CAR WASH and WAX
5) DAILY COMMUTES FEEL DISAPPOINTINGLY SHORTENED

1. Luv the look
2. Luv the rear wheel drive and handling
3. Luv the practicality (for a sports car) - back seats (at a pinch), fold them down and decent boot space, hardtop roof, etc.
4. Luv the auto paddle shifters (and I make NO apologies for getting an auto!)
5. Luv the enthusiastic community and after market stuff available

BigFatFlip · 02-24-2017, 03:47 AM

1. Super practical for a sports car.
2. Fuel economy compared to how much fun it is to drive
3. Seating position
4. Easy to work on. Oil changes are a breeze, everything is easily accessible and no huge plastic engine cover hiding everything.
5. Will it baby? Yes, yes it does.

BboyRuda · 02-24-2017, 04:24 AM

1. Aesthetics of the car
2. Rear seats I can actually use (I'm very short so the passengers sitting behind me actually have a lot of leg room).
3. The way it handles
4. Huge aftermarket
5. Very affordable lightweight sports car
