2022 Subaru BRZ | Porsche for the Masses

What should we review next?

This is a sexy looking car especially for the price.

You can make right turns in a Porsche

The hood is aluminum on the first gen. also.

THOSE ARE TAIL LIGHTS. end rant*

No one should review back seats in sport coupes. That just dumb and common sense. Really!,
Porsche 911, Camaro, Supra, Mustang, and all coupes cars. Next time don’t do that again

Not mechanically the same, the BRZ has aluminum front hubs and the GR86 doesn't.

The rear seats are NOT there for insurance purposes. Toyota chief designer Tetsuya Tada has literally said he gave the 86/BRZ rear seats simply so they can fold down and owners can carry an 4 extra tires to the track. That’s it…he said he didn’t want to create a pure two-seater like the Miata and S2000 because those require a trailer, or a friends van to carry extra tires and he said that’s a pain in the ass. So he made millimeter adjustments to the car specifically so an extra set of tires fit with the rear seats folded down. That is the only answer why it has rear seats.

subaru brz is lighter and faster than gr86

Truck engine was a bit disrespectful, though i understood what you meant. That said, it does rev to 7500. Most cars dont rev past 6000 these days, even NA. Performance oriented competitors in this segment dont rev past 6700, not even the SI. Its a pretty healthy revvy engine.

I find the problem getting in personally. Exiting or as you say "pulling myself out" is easy to me.

Awesome video thank you. My BRZ has just arrived. My challenge: fitting a drum kit haha....

I got a 22 BRZ. Amazing car. The reason I chose BRZ over the GR86 was the 7K markup on all the 86’s in my area.

Might actually trade in my Miata for one of these... I guess we'll see 🙈

This car or GR86?

It's faster than a Miata?

Make a review for GR86 bro. TIA. More power!

It's all perspective. The infotainment for me is amazing space aged tech.

You are the only brz owner who sat in the back seat to show us if people can fit. I'm not kidding. Thank you!

Love my 2022 BRZ. The GR86 costs $2,000.00 MSRP.

Nice review of the new BR-Zed! 😁

I generally prefer Subarus, but the GR86 grill looks so much better. The grill looks too goofy. Still lean toward a Miata for a long term ownership option as my last manual transmission car.

A cheap sports car. The insurance industry basically killed this category. Anybody younger will pay through the nose to own one of these I'd guess.

The ND2 Miata is more fun to drive period (especially the soft top at just 2340lbs or ~ 500lbs less than the BRZ w/ top down) so "Miata Slayer" the BRZ is not, not even remotely close. It's its nice little car but no sense in being delusional about things.

Hi Mike, i mean it´s a good small relatively sporty 2 door coupe, not really up to date but the biggest issue is the price i think, it´s a little bit to high for that what Subaru offers to the customers.

Still rather have a miata

Former RF owner now in a 2022 BRZ here. I loved the Mazda and I love this. Pick either and you can’t go wrong…but if you are over 182cm (6ft) you are actually going to fit in the BRZ.

Actually had the BRZ (still completely stock) on track today and I spent 15 mins chasing two GR Yaris…and you know what? They were a tiny bit quicker on the straights but not very much. I was expecting them to run away and they didn’t.

even though this has a boxer engine ... i would pick this over a miata ANYDAY. Miata's are too damn small

Also people are selling these for $5-10k above MSRP used because they're that unobtanium.

Blows my mind how many people wanna ruin this car by making it supra priced because turbo/awd. This is supposed to be a spiritual successor to the AE86 not Supra or Celica GT Four. Not to mention all the people who ask for these expensive changes end up not even buying the car. 🤦

Miata .. have something that you cannot do on a brz ...top down never forget M.i.A.T.A. miata is always the answer😉😉

How could it slay a Miata if it has a close top?

Liking the looks of the BRZ than the GR86 🤔

🧿👍😎🌹💙🧲😍…+1.~

Superb 👉Subaru ❤.
Tiny , affordable, stylish and speed...

Mike really could sell anything. I don't even like Subaru like that (or smaller vehicles in general), but thanks to Ian and Mike, I could so very easily see myself driving that thing. And I do like how "underdog" it seems. It's like the type of car that you wouldn't expect to be fun, but it turns out to be a barrel of laughs. :D

It'll never be a Miata slayer until they offer a rag top
