EVO staffers drove BRZ, 370Z, Renault hot hatch, base Cayman and MX5. General comment is the BRZ is underpowered for road car. Lack of torque and odd pancake 4 just don't suit the excellent chassis. So plan on spending additional $10k on turbo. They also said mx5 was more fun to drive a d Toyota and Subaru should have driven mx5 before building BRZ/FT86.

They also said 370z is in completely different league. BRZ was toy like in comparison. Cheap trim etc.
