that was painful to watch, especially with the driver making stupid faces.

He has that look where you get the urge to punch him the face. Some people just have that look.

I do appreciate his negative comments on the engine. It's something for me to keep in mind on a test drive. I'd love to be able to say that he is as dumb as he looks.

That was downright depressing, like someone died.

What I hate about the video is it's making me question whether the car is right for me. I want more torque. The only way to get the answers I need is a test drive.

Slow overtaking ability and a drony sounding engine....

Will def look for that if we can ever get a test drive.

I read the EVO magazine only gave the BRZ 3.5 stars.

Don't believe them and you have to remember the car goes for double over there. I'd bitch too if it cost me 50k.

I've seen two brz to date and the car is perfect. It's so perfectly balanced that any changes to the car fuck up the weight distribution.

The guy says it's not very comfortable ride. What ride is driving 12+ hours in the driver seat unless you strip the seat and put in a LA-Z-BOY recliner ?
