I haven't owned a Subaru in a long time, but my 07 Sti would have a dull pedal/slow throttle response when you reset the ecu for a full tank of gas while it was setting and learning fuel trims. I'm not sure if Subaru ECU's do this anymore since technology has probably advanced since then.

Car is really good, drove 2200 miles, being half on a toad trip. Space is cramped, but I was able to fit 2 toddlers and wife. Only dislike (or better, characteristic) was that the seat bolstering pushed my shoulders, which increased the fatigue.
Torque delivery surprised me once (muscle memory from gen1) in the rain/low-temp, which made me having to catch the car, no harm, just made me correct my inputs. Also, car understeers more than the previous (As soon as Spring comes, I will do alignment, which may be the cause). |

I'm coming out of an ND Miata with supercharger and stiffer bushings so my BRZ Premium feels like a luxury car over the terribly bumpy roads where I live (main reason I didn't get the Limited - wanted the smaller wheels for better ride). The car doesn't seem noisy inside thankfully as anything is a step up from a Miata in this area. Also the base stereo doesn't seem as terrible as I was expecting based on comments here. I'm going to put on Conti DWS 06+ soon. |

I’d be very interested to hear more opinions about the noise differences between the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 and the Conti DWS 06+. I’ll probably have a set of one of those installed shortly after taking delivery.

I find the car just about perfect for me. I wouldn’t have bought it if it wasn’t.

The throttle in normal mode does seem a bit soft. I'll play with it a bit more once I get some more miles on it. I haven't noticed any shifter movement on startup, I also had them do the STi short throw shifter. I believe that was a port installed option. It's great throws are short and crisp. Rear seats? Meh. I ordered a '15 new after test driving one, I knew they were worthless then and knew they would be worthless now. If we need to take more than myself and my fiance, we will take her 4-door Mazda 3. I didn't buy a tiny 2-door sports coupe with the expectation of putting 4 adults in it.

One of the lesser mentioned differences, but another smart liveability feature of the BRZ over the GR86 is the black plastic lip integrated into the front bumper.
This has caught all of my speed bump hits, and because its an unpainted and small plastic part its only around 80$ to replace. Fantastic. |

Lots of people say the rear seats are useless, and they are to a degree. But alot of those people are over 6 feet tall. Im 5'-7" and theres barely enough leg room sitting behind myself in my ideal driving position. I can move the seat up a few clicks without compromising drivability but my legs end up being bent a bit more than i want. We used a rear facing child seat on the rear seat passenger side for a time, and the wife (5'-3") was able to squeeze into the front seat, but the seatback is too upright (and more reclined and it touches the car seat...which is normally a no-no) and the headrest being normally tilted forward a bit doenst help. Front facing child seats arent too much of an issue though. I think i can put one behind the drivers seat but my son is only 2 and he'd probably be kicking the seatback. I think realistically either a younger kid in a car seta or a booster seat would be acceptable behind the driver. Unless of course you are six feet tall...then your seatback touches the rear seat and theres not much you can do with the space. |
