The Making of the 2022 Subaru BRZ®

When I first saw an MX5 in 1989 I loved them. Three years ago I was shopping for a new car for my sister and we visited a Mazda dealership … MX5 in cherry red was sitting in the showroom (my sister bought a Skoda which has been a great car and purchase) … it was just too impractical.

When the BRZ first arrived I just loved the look of the detail of the car. Early in 2023 I first saw a second gen BRZ on the road and by chance I saw one in a car park about a month later. The idea grew! Short of it is after two visits to a dealer and lots of yes no yes no I took a blue demo car for a drive. In less than three kilometres I knew. Order has been placed. Funny thing is I’ve only seen about 5 of these cars on the road and not one GR86 but last week saw a silver one parked … the fine detail of these cars is amazing.

Manual, white, Ts. Will not be modified. Will be kept simple. It’s about the driving and the machine. I always suspected I’d own a Soobie one day.

Love my 23 limited 6 manual.

This ad exact for americans.... %)

I love this video but for all of this, there is still oil pressure drops on right turns and an rtv issue. Subaru how big are these problems?

thank you subaru for developing the 86

love my 2023 brz. haters gonna hate and complain about anything, like their 1995 family SUV is any better

Step one:
Buy a GT86/FRS ( if not )
the other other step one:
Let Toyota and Scion buy your car and sell a rebadged version

We have a winning machine 🍻

Great film!
Long live the BRZ!
I sincerely hope the BRZ has a next generation planned!!
Also hope if there is a track related oil pressure issue, that this is addressed to keep owners enthusiastic and confident!

Dear Subaru Managers,

Im sorry to tell, but u crapped up.
Yes its a beautiful car and handling is fine.
BUT THE ENGINE IS CRAP (quality wise) AND OUTDATED. IF AT LEAST U WOULD IMPLENT A 2.0 TURBO ENGINE WHICH WOULD USE LESS FUEL AND GIVE WAY MORE POWER.
BUT INSTEAD ITS AN 30 YEARS OLD OUTBACK ENGINE WITH LITTLE TWEAKS. Just take a look at oil pressure gauge... oh yes u left it out, so the consumer does not see how bad the circulation is...

Im sure that are enough drivers out there that would pay extra for a good engine bc it would be worth.
SUBARU HAS LOST EUROPE ...
No one buys them anymore around here for some reasons.

NOT TO MENTION THE POOR PAINT AND RUST PREVENTION...
( 2012 Forester shs was bad, 2018 outback even worse)

U can do better...

Maybe you should’ve put more work into building a better oil pan. FIX THE FA24!!!!!

too bad the oil pressure problem still isnt fixed and when the motor blows they'll refuse to honor the warranty 👎👎👎

on behalf of all owners i want to extend my gratitude to Mr Inoue and his team for giving us the car we always knew it could be, their hard work shows in the final product that we all get to enjoy on a daily basis

Yet they missed the oil pressure issue with all this supposed testing? If a home user can find that issue as if they didn't know, they must have just figured it's cheaper to fix them as they break and try and recall it later with a new oil pan or something.

“it must be as reliable, as it is thrilling,” thrilling yes but reliable no lol my 2022 brz blew

Wish it got the front end of the GR86.

I wonder if the ''race car'' also oil starve in right handers, like the production, ''track-ready'' car.

Now if only Subaru would actually make some so you can actually get one.

Too bad engines are not part of the "reliability" . my 2017 WRX engine blew up under warranty and now this car has engine issues too.

Too bad they refuse to fix the oiling and rtv issues. But mine is fun to drive. Afraid to take it to autoX and Track now. Without doing some major upgrades to the engine. Thanks, SUBARU. I asked the local dealer to drop my oil pan to check for the RTV issues and the refused they basically told me my engine need to be damaged first before they will do it.

Please fix the low oil pressure during right hand corners and the RTV issue. Please. It’s getting embarrassing to have such a great chassis with such a glaring issue.

And what about the warranty denial in the case of sport use of a sport car?

And the motor is a steaming pile of junk. What an embarrassing POS car.

I understand the brz loses oil pressure on right hand turns during trackdays - is there a sump baffle in the works?

I wished they put these much effort on fixing the RTV and oil pressure drop issues.

Whats up with the rtv in oil pickup? I’m waiting on you guys to fix it so I can buy one.

Too bad, it can only make left hand turn.

@Subaru I see you are on the same track we are experiencing low oil pressure while taking right hand sweepers/corners. Did you by chance experience the same during your testing of this platform?

Low pressure oil on right turns engine will blow up

“Reliability” 😂

all that work to make a car that cant make a right hand turn without blowing up.

Definitely a butt hole clenching experience from start to finish!

Thank you Subaru family. God bless you.

My favorite car Ive ever owned. In the garage waiting for its 8th coat of wax 😅

I prefer the Toyota front design

love my 2023, but is the HP rating accurate? seems more like 235-240 at the crank when you look at everyone's dyno results

Bravo 👏 I can't wait to buy one. On the waiting list now. :)

GR86: Hello bro

GREAT S2K replacement!




Job well done Subaru team.

So thats how Toyota did it

very well done subaru. Thank you fork keeping these alive.

My family loves you please Do Not solely use CVT please for any of the models *legacy

The engine is the biggest downside

I just got this car a week ago and it is phenomenal! I love my 2020 but the 2022 is improved in so many ways. I’m so excited to own/drive this car. Cannot wait to etch Mike after mile and not park it in a garage like some old Porsche owners. (I’d love to own a Porsche and drive the balls off of one someday)

That why it still sucks aerodynamic is still bad power is still bad should have made 2 different version a real STI

Subaru has mastered the AWD system but did not add it to this wonderful BRZ 🤦🏻‍♂️ I just found out today that I can’t buy this because it’s only rear-wheel drive 😒 Maybe next year it will be an option?

So Toyota did GR so you should do BRZ STI please pretty pretty please
