Arrow 1 year with my 2017 BRZ - The 5 things I love

After having this car for over a year now (that's a while for me hah), I am still loving it! I put together one of these silly videos to talk about the 5 things I love about my BRZ! Amazingly, I made an idiot out of myself while talking about the steering and called it a hydraulic unit Totally forgetting it was electric assisted...guess that goes to show how good it is

What do you love about your BRZ?

Another 17 owner here. Loving every second.

I don't love the first gear, however. It's hardly usable.

never tried that for fear of feeding it into the trunk hole. also at 6'2" those large frames make for tight squeezes so i just ride to my trails.

So does the '17 model still have some of the past issues like oil leaking, crickets, etc?

My 2013 never had any oil leaking, but it did have the fp crickets. 2017 car has no problems so far, of course it's only 1.5 years old...

At least you participate in conversations and contribute more than just videos. We get so many one off videos posted where the creator has zero other participation it at least appears that they are just looking for the clicks. Yours are about the only ones I will even click anymore for that very reason.

Yeah, yours are relevant to this forum and you actually engage in discussions, better than most of the click-bait users lol.
