Autoexpress full review
Up today: only 4 stars! What happened to the missing one? Try to figure it out at:
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carrevi...ubaru_brz.html Yet another review pointing out that the power level is fine. Also it's the first review I've seen that talks about ride comfort: Quote:

Give us that last star! Great review none the less. Got to love the weight being 50kg below a Caymen R.

Firstly... who cares what some journo thinks?
Secondly... Autoexpress have the reputation for being the worst of the UK car mags, if that is of consolation to those who care.

Bingo! It needed leather, wood, British racing green as a color option, and rust in 2 years.

Interesting... the author is Matt Davis, who also wrote the much-more-detailed autoblog review (there are photos of him in both reviews and it's definitely the same guy).
