Read what the BRZ / FR-S Toyobaru said about our car.

Am I doing this correctly?

Both cars are nice. It depends what you can afford. Personally, I would rather have a house than a Z but if you can afford both even better. I'm still thinking about trading for a Mustang lol

That could have been a 1 minute video. The dude likes to repeat himself 19 times.

Agreed, the Z = Personality Personified Realized and Delivered right on time...

Test drove an FRS the other day and the thing lacked power... felt like a civic when speeding up to merge. The steering did feel great though, possibly better if not the same as my Z stock for stock imo. Two different cars for two different kinds of people imo, I don't get why people are arguing or trying to compare them lol. In my eyes, the BRZ/FRS is more for people who like tight courses like auto x and don't care too much for speed/torque. The BRZ/FRS isn't exactly sloow but it's not exactly fast either, the handling is amazing. The numbers on the paper alone should tell people that the cars are on two different classes in regards to power and $

There was a post in that thread with a guy saying that he finds it more fun to beat the sh*t out of his car to merge on the hwy, hearing all the right sounds and stuff... I don't know, maybe it's just me but I wouldn't want to have to beat the living hell out of my car just to be able to merge on the highway Have done that before with my last civic lol. Much rather enjoy having the ability to pass people or merge on the hwy while keeping it under 4k rpm, and at the same time still have the option to downshift and WOT it to feel the tug while merging on the highway

Why not just buy a Miata? I saw a FRS on the road yesterday I thought it looked from the rear like it had a stubby nose. The interior I saw at the car show looked cheap too which I suppose you can replace but then your spending alot just to get a car that performs and looks like a Z. I don't get it.

I think the BRZ/FRS is a neat car. Coming from an S2000 i heard all the same complaints about about the redline and lack of torque. It was a hoot to drive. It wasn't that fast in a straight line but i'm not concerned about straight line racing on public roads.

One of these days, i'm going to find a BRZ I can test drive. Maybe i'll replace my DD 2006 Civic Si.

I heard that dealers were jacking up the prices on them both....by 4 to 5 k, which makes it NOT such a great deal. I remember the same dealer crap with the S2000 in 1998/1999 and Mustangs 2005 when they first came out.....Same with Miata's as well...

If BRZ/FR-S owners want to compare their cars to a Z, then why dont they take it down a couple decades and compare them to a NA 300zx or turbo 280z. Thats a better comparison rather than putting up their cars against the fastest Z car to date

EazyD

why.... isn't that like us comparing our Z to a 1980s mustang

We arn't trying to compare our cars to any mustang. Since the BRZ/FR-S owners are trying to compare their 200hp eco car to our 332hp sports car, what i'm trying to say is if they want to compare their cars to any Z car, they should take it down a couple of decades to make it fair for themselevs lol. Thats like us trying to compare our cars with the new 5.0. You have a torquey, bigger displacement V8 that is pretty fast in the quarter, and you have a high revving, less torquey motor, but lighter car that does extremely well in autocross or other track courses. They are not very far off in my opinion, but they are still two very different beasts.
