![]() Honestly trying to help, because you're going to be seeing a lot more of these I'm sure. EDIT: It doesn't help that cars make "faces" with the headlights and bumpers. Makes personification a lot easier to occur. EDIT AGAIN: Yes I teared up and almost cried when I saw my FR-S after the crash. IT'S A PROCESS OK? ![]() |

Have you driven an FR-S or BRZ? From what empirical evidence do you base this claim?

Despite the different production figures frs vs brz wrecks have been fairly similar it seems.

Its common, a lot of people buying these cars are going to surprised by how it handles and won't know what to do when the car goes sideways or loses control a little bit. I say let it be, accidents are the best way to learn how to drive sometimes.

Randy Pobst: "I like the Subaru better, primarily because it's less loose on entry. In the Scion, you feel the back move almost before the front. In the Subaru, it's more one piece. And I can be more aggressive entering turns with the Subaru. It's a decreasing maneuver -- I'm entering on the brakes and cornering -- and because the Subaru isn't as tail-happy, I can use more brakes entering the corner and carry more speed in. It's the same thing coming off the corner. The Subaru doesn't oversteer as easily, so I can get to the power sooner." And the staff of Motor Trend said similar: Lago: "The BRZ seems a bit slower to transition from understeer to oversteer than the FR-S. It stays neutral longer, where the FR-S switches quickly back and forth. I was able to hold the BRZ right in that space between the two extremes longer, and I like that extra stability." Mortara: "Like other Subarus, the BRZ rolls, something that I actually like. This is what gives the BRZ an edge over the FR-S. The roll makes the car less edgy, less prone to kick the rear out, unless you really want it to." Jurnecka: "On the track and skidpad, the BRZ just feels a little more dialed-in than the FR-S. There's a little more grip and a little more control -- all very, very small stuff, but it's noticeable." Read more: http://m.motortrend.com/roadtests/co...#ixzz23l5aPjbI

Well, there are the wrecked BRZ's, however only the third one appears to have gotten away from the driver.

It is not a shortcoming of the car's dynamics. It is a shortcoming of the drivers. They lack driving skill and common sense.
