Will you actually get this car sideways?

It seems to be one of the big selling points but how many of you are really going to take advantage of the drift ability?

We were drifting it the night we brought it home. Car is amazingly composed and controllable when sliding.

I would take it to the track, but i really like grip driving. I would get an adjustable spoiler and control the oversteer.

Well, I told the salesman I was going to do this and he was like, "Are you serious??" I told him "Yes, but I won't do it"

I got the car at lunch today and got it sidways on my way back to work. You'll see a little sideways in this video from tonight's drive. Just a bit

Yes. My Tundra and BMW wagon will both snicker amongst themselves in the garage that I have drifted them and not the BRZ otherwise.

actually when you get it just right, the tail rotates a bit but the LSD REALLLLY grips, the tail doesnt come out, but more so it points you in the right direction right after the apex

Yeah, on my test drive I went into a couple roundabouts and it kicked out at the exit and you could feel the LSD locking. That's an awesome feeling coming from a viscous coupling LSD which only works after you are well into the slide and an active differential which pretty much randomly chooses when it wants to kick in.

this car WANTS to drift...took a corner pretty fast and I could already feel the back tires want to slide.....

Yep, in a safe and controlled enviornment.

We have a lot of concrete:







It makes for perfect U shaped drifts around the building (the car and the concrete)

On a serious note, this is the easiest car to control whilst drifting I have ever driven.
