Autocar UK's view (BRZ's street manner)

Hope this is not a repost but great review on how BRZ is for daily street use.

It's basically the video version of this but always nice to see and hear the car in motion.

I find his comment that the BRZ's suspension is "more focused" than that of the FR-S highly dubious. Autocar has done no off-track testing of the latter, so how would this guy know? Comparing on-road and on-track tests is too apples and oranges. Plus they used different drivers, going by the video reviews.

I love the Brits: "with 197hp it's quite quick"

If only we were all stuck driving Fiat Pandas and Dacia Sanderos in this country; it might change our outlook, too!
