    Subie Things
    This is essentially a Subaru under the skin
    Much like the way the Supra is a BMW under the skin
    So there are several places there is still Subie stuff
    On the engine
    Door jambs on each side
    The key
    Trunk wiring harness (and more)
    Aero
    We mentioned the Supra a second ago and people get triggered by fake vents
    They’re all real here
    The date lists
    Birthday lists
    If you just can’t with facebook anymore, get an 86
    Anniversary list
    Does your wife hate you once a year cuz you forget?
    Not if you own a 86
    Roadside assist
    Here’s something no one has ever cared about or asked to see
    Hopefully you never need it
    BUT the icon is different the deeper you go
    Rear seats
    Literally no legroom
    But if you slide it forward you get food mats
    Are these part of the $180 mat charge?!
    Not much else to the back
    Same materials
    Isofix points
    Exhaust
    Speaking of things that are probably more than they’re worth
    This has upgraded 1700$ exhaust
    Sounds good, but lots of money
    Says GR on each side of the pipes
    Lord Doug didn’t even show you THAT
    The engine
    It’s a subaru engine that toyota has put their name on..literally
    The old engine was 2.0, now 2.4 boxer
    228 hp now (about 25 more than before)
    185 lbft - but importantly fixed the massive torque hole in the middle
    GR air filter….$75
    Styling
    Most different from the BRZ in frowny grille
    Color: steel
    Baby supra running lights
    GR fender vent inserts
    $160….skip
    Black wing mirrors
    Molded in rear wheel fang
    Exaggerated ducktail for premium
    Rear end details
    Reverse camera in middle of trunklid
    Kinda like miata, bit not as bad
    Hidden trunk release in fake full width taillight
    Rear bumper applique
    $160
    GR embossed…not subie
    Trunk
    Small opening
    Decent size tho
    Rear seats fold…really practical
    No spare, but you can get one on eBay (topher)
    Turn signal stalk
    Stupid return to middle design
    Steering wheel
    I think this is the exact same wheel as last gen
    But now with GR logo on bottom
    SUUUUPER skinny #nogirth
    Shift knob
    Upgraded GR shift knob
    $150
    Wheels & tires
    18 in gunmetal
    Michelin PS4 tires (great grip, kinda loud)
    The Premium package
    31k versus 29k
    Pleather and alcantara seats
    Even headrest suede
    Heated seats
    Alcantara door upper
    Alcantara above cluster
    Who asked for this
    Full digital cluster
    Changes in track mode
    Graduating bar graph
    Infotainment
    Upgraded 8 in screen
    Other thna that pretty unremarkable
    Wired ACP & AA
    Reverse camera…that’s about it
    Center console buttons
    Traction off
    Or traction off but FAST
    Reorg cluster
    Lap timer
    Cupholders
    Where tf are they?!
    Hidden in the center cubby
    So nowhere to put your phone
    Start/Stop button
    GR logos everywhere
    But this one lights up
    Doesn’t pulse like some tho
    Rear view mirror
    The most simple/basic rear view mirror i’ve seen in years
    My 08 passat had a more robust mirror than this
    Thb i kinda like it
    Interior design
    Pretty similar to last gen
    A little ritzier but a lot of carry over
    Price
    29k to start
    31k for premium
    34k as tested

      In what world exactly is that a “skinny” steering wheel? If you want to know what a truly skinny steering wheel looks and feels like just drive a car from the 60’s or 70’s. They were not only skinny but the diameter was huge. Back then when fixing up a car for racing or even high performance street driving the very first thing we did was to replace the steering wheel. On modern cars however the steering wheels are about the optimum diameter and girth for high performance driving or even racing. And as someone who did a lot of racing and car modification in my youth I can tell you that I would not feel the slightest need to change out that steering wheel. Its just perfect as is.

    I bought the 2023 BRZ charcoal black. I live in Canada and last winter it was cold and had ice accumulate on driver door. When you grab door handle the window quickly drops 1 inch to break the seal. But.. when it's frozen you can't get in your car.. door gets stuck with window gasket. The coffee holders are bother some.. I place napkins over the usb ports next to the holder to prevent and spilt coffee. The stock stereo is okay but I noticed even on low the door speakers vibrate the side mirror a lot. On a rainy day the reverse camera is near useless because rain drops on lens. Other then that.. The BRZ is very fun to drive and more.

    Missed a couple things, Toyota let Subaru use toyota's direct injection for the engine, also the engine is tuned by Toyota, and the brz is tuned by Subaru, Toyota didn't pay to just put their name on it, it's mainly a Toyota project, Subaru just makes it. Also the "half fake" aero is blocked off because it supplied the engine and wheel bays with too much air. Also the left traction control button turns off everything except ABS after holding it for 5 seconds. The right traction control button only puts the car in track mode, which turns of stability control and tightens up the steering but that's it. Also not so fun fact the automatics come with Subaru eyesight and it sucks.

      Actually more of a Toyota insisted that D4-S be on the car. I read the backstory on it, and Subaru said it could not be done on the Boxer engine, and resisted the idea. Be glad it’s on both the BRZ , and the 86, as this system not only adds power, but you will not get carbon fouling like a normal DI engine, because the added port injection keeps the valves clean

      Yeah, I really get tired of everyone saying that everyone knows that “nobody” will ever sit back there. My girlfriend is very petite and she would likely have no trouble sitting in the front seat with it way forward and her equally petite girlfriend could fit in the back seat right behind her. Now obviously this would not be ideal on a long trip but it would work quite well if we were all going out to dinner together or something like that. That back seat is only there for those extremely rare occasions when you might need to give a 3rd passenger a lift across town. Anyway, it would be more accurate for these car reviewers to say that the vast majority or adults will not be able to use the back seat.

    It depends on your personal opinion if Toyota or Subaru looks and feels better. Both cars are very similar with some minor differences. I drive the 2023 BRZ and the outline for me looks better. Subaru in Germany is very rare and the STI parts are not necessary, but are looking great. It is a cool car concept, we are lucky to have these days. So enjoy every hour with your Toyota or Subaru. I think we will get not that much comparable stuff in the future. Other hypercars are nice, but they are not affordable for most of us.
    Regarding the shift gear or automatic transmission: I have no chance to compare that for the BRZ, but for a normal car with actual safety features like automatic distance controls a automatic transmission is great. I think at this sport car a manual brings more fun and it’s easy to handle. Just my point o view. Better to have one with automatic than having none 😊
    Nice review and good additional content at the comments. Thank you all for that.

    First of all, I really liked your video, the GR 86 us my favorite car ever and I enjoyed your video 💕
    Then, I just wanna add that the alcantara on top of the instrument cluster is to reduce reflections on the windshield (See The Straight Pipes' review on the C8 Corvette for more info)
    Also, Toyota did the fuel injection system in the Subaru engines because Toyota owns a part of Subaru and when they asked Subaru to give their engine direct injection they said it couldn't be done so Toyota engineers went in and made the injection system themselves, so yes, this is an engine co-developed by Toyota and Subaru.
    This isn't a Supra situation where Toyota just redesigned, recalibrated and retuned a BMW M340i.
    Also, the original idea was to only have the 86 and no BRZ but Subaru whete so happy with the prototype they wanted their own version and Toyota agreed because more sale is always good specially for this sort of cars :)

If you dont mind Kias, the Forte GT can be had with a manual and comforts. But if you get the forte GT automatic, you can get stuff like ventilated seats for even cheaper than the SI, and it still has 200hp.

Magen Magna Steyr had nothing to do with the development of the car. Subaru had the tooling and assembly line that could be easily adapted. So therefore manufactured it. Need to go beyond the engine to appreciate the differences and commonalities.
