2017 Driven first impressions

That new dash looks pretty darn good in real life, nice and bright.

Just picked up my 2017 premium. Popular package 2. Loving every second of it. Can't wait for break in period to be over.

Subscribed. Thanks for making a good and detailed review. I like the part where you show the acceleration runs and hear the engine sound. Keep on with the review!

I. HATE. BIRDS. the one the took his business out on my car specifically.

This is the outcome of a golf ball sized crap that had been on the hood for <9hrs in 90° weather. And I havent even had my car for a month yet...and this happens on one of the hottest days in California this summer.

Guys don't wait to clean off your bird crap. It killed me a little bit inside..one thing led to another when i was preasure washing the poop off, i accidently knocked the tip of the washer wand on my hood to create a small permanent scratch. Totally my fault but would not have happened if not for the bird. Just wanted to say....damn bird.

Run your finger on the damage of its smooth without any roughness or a stop in your motion. Or if you don't feel anything under it or out of place like a indentation. You can wax and buff it and it will come off.

At first I thought it was just a mark too, sadly I used compound on it and it is still there. It definitely ate through a little bit of clear, though I don't know how deep. I think the heat really baked it on there...

Thanks for the heads up though.

Well, I traded my '13 FRS in for a '17 BRZ Limited today. Definitely happy about the switch, the BRZ is so much nicer inside.

Love the steering wheel controls. Steering wheel IS thinner than my FRS wheel, but I still like it

Shifting action is noticeably smoother and not as loose.

I like the power delivery better, even with just taking it easy so far. Everything is just smoother.

New headlights/DRL's are awesome.

All the keyless entry/push button start things are nice to have, oh and backup camera.

Soon, STX prep

I do, they are awesome cars! Only the second time I have ever bought the same car twice, the other car I bought twice was 1999 Mazda Miata's

I test drove a new ND Miata too, and it does have better power delivery for sure, but everything else is better about the BRZ IMO.

Very bad performance of the new BRZ in a comparative track test. It was only better to a Mazda 3 with a 1.5lt diesel engine.


The results:


Mazda 3
1:24.275
127.93 km/h


BRZ S
1:19.237
151.71 km/h


Nissan March Bolero A30
1:18.965
141.48 km/h


Levorg STI
1:15.395
158.46 km/h


Lexus RC F
1:13.437
175.86 km/h


Porsche 718 S
1:07.894
185.69 km/h


I would expect to be at least faster than the sporty March Bolero (another 1.5lt/150ps car) and much closer to the family car Levorg.

I am sorry but this is not a "very bad performance" but more "very bad interpretation" by you. First it is clear that the track conditions vary a lot (especially that Micra vs BRZ lap), also isn't that Micra 4WD? And Levorg? On wet? And on stock fun BRZ tires?
