Yup, I noticed that too. I wonder what that was all about. It looks like the JDM "premium" version gets dual climate zone too, and the USDM Premium gets the cheap FRS climate control system.

There was that video review which showed them reviewing the FRS but they were actually driving the Toyota 86. I guess they swap vehicles all the time for reviews since your average viewer won't notice the difference.

K, I'm back from dinner, ate some pizza~

Anyways, back to on-topic, as I've promised, here's the translations

[u2b]TntFI5-XB8A[/u2b]
"Hi, I'm racing driver Kota Sasaki
Want to do impression on everyone waited for BRZ
It's a coupe so door is made solid
Steering wheel can go backward and forward. Also up and down.
Fitness of the seat is very nice. It holds it well
Don't feel squished. Don't have the "Compact Car" feel, but has solid driving feel to it.
It has high sight view. Hood have been lower, so I can see the front really well.
Ground feels so close. It has the feeling of racing car that gets me hyped
First impression when start driving is the push of the engine. Response is great. It doesn't feel like 2 liter NA engine response to it.
Usually it has the image of the inner side tire get lifted when you're in the corner. But this car's outer side drop, so don't have any uneasiness.
In this corner, tire stay on the road. Even after that corner and don't have any uneasiness.
For personal thing, I really like how thick the steering wheel is. It's really easy to grab, so don't need to put unnecessary strength and easy to drive.
Going to pace up lil bit
I drive the GT car of this car, but it's really stable. While you're turning and braking is really hard, but the car doesn't lift at all and it's really stable.
Steering feed is really great.
Let's turn off the VSC system
Let's move it around lil bit
Ah~ it's great!
I turned off the VSC, but the limit of this car is extremely high
Doesn't slip at all and it's really stable (he meant as unexpected slips)
This traction really have sense of stability
Bucket seat style seat is really nice. Even you lean on it, it doesn't have any uneasiness. Don't feel any G to it.
Enjoy how compact it turns
Really enjoy this push/power
Also this car is really light. Response really sharp. Response of the engine and the chassis match really well. Don't have any weight of the car.
This is really fun
Steering wheel response quickly
Do love the shifting feeling. You can really feel the shifting and short shift
Man, this is getting really fun
Some of you wanted to know "How it feel to run in the circuit?", but this car made well
This BRZ's gear ratio, engine response, & chassis you can take on any corner. Even with tight corner and worry if engine have enough power to push it through, it'll push it through. Even with slowing down corner engine respond to it and follow through with it. Or like S turn corners, rigidity of the chassis and steering wheel respond will cover it through. It could go to any circuit and run great
I really like this car. I wanna run Nur w this car.
Man~~~ this is great! It's really fun!
Greatness of Boxer engine. This car bring out the boxer engine's greatness to the maximum
Boxer engine started out with low CoG plus low height sports car... but drop more CoG, so that greatness is really showing
It has the feeling of AWD. It has the stability of AWD"

Well hope that help some of ya guys out. & again, this isn't English translation, but Engrish translation, so if you have problem w that? Too bad!
