I think like alot of people reviewing the car(s).. they were given
a MT and an AT for their drive/review.

Look at the silly grin on his face while driving it. Priceless.

Most important points to me: BRZ handling is close to cayman at speed. In the city below ~30mph it is very stiff and uncomfortably so, unlike Porsche. Also - hard to break traction with torque, more so with AT. Another complaint about AT: sometimes acts stupid, like changing gear in turn. Praises downshifts w/revmatching during extended braking. The guy likes turbo-Subaru sound better and seems not to be a fan of the "sound pipe".

Many will likely say the FR-S/BRZ needs more power and while more wouldn’t hurt, those folks (the same ones who have probably never driven on a track) are missing the point.

He might as well be saying that himself. At that point he's talking about "not the first local trying to shake us off", and complaining "while turbo-imprezas have enough power to overtake on a 2-lane road, this one does not". That seems weird to me, since at speed acceleration like 50->70mphs shouldn't be more than a 3-4 tenths off WRX time.
