Well you’ve just cemented my theory :)
In fact, I’m almost thinking you’re a troll.

I road trip in this car all the time and fail to see what your issue with it is. The seats are quite comfortable for long trips. No, it’s not the most supple ride, but not everyone needs to be coddled by a Lexus-like ride on long trips. Personally, that puts me to sleep. A bit more connected-to-the-road feeling keeps…

“A Cruze has similar performance metrics [to a BRZ].”

Nobody is going to take you seriously after that statement. You clearly have literally no concept of what makes the Twins so special.

Yeah, the early production 2013 vehicles had some teething issues. However, I know plenty of 2013 owners who have MANY more miles (including hard autocrossing and track days) and their engines are still intact.

And later model years resolved those issues. My 2015 has 44,000 miles and the engine is just fine even after…

I have no idea, lol. I actually only saw it for the first time two weeks ago, which is where I took that photo.

Two entirely different cars. Mustang is way faster than a twin in a straight line. Handles like a pile of poop in comparison, though. Different strokes for different folks.

He’s in my local Subaru group :)

Relative to a new Twin with 60k miles worth of a power-train warranty, yes. Don’t kid yourself.

If this car isn’t fast enough for you to drive in everyday traffic at any speed, you probably need to re-evaluate how you drive on public roads...

...or buy a Hellcat.

That’s definitely a unique scenario, and not a common issue, lol.

They haven’t “fixed” it because it’s intentional to increase fuel economy at “cruising RPMs.”

Yeah, that will surely come out even in the wallet department in the long run...

“Awful movie?” GTFO.

I just wanted you to know at least someone understood your reference.

Yeah, that’s why I put “brake boosting” in quotes, lol. Wasn’t sure what the proper term was for a non-boosted car. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I wasn’t sure if the Tesla allowed you to do that, but that’s definitely what it looks like.

It looks like he’s just “brake boosting.” AKA, he’s holding the brakes while pressing the accelerator to “pre-load” the drivetrain, which is what is causing the vehicle to squat.

Hahaha! Don’t get me started...

So much this. All I see every day on the FR-S/BRZ forum is: “Want to lower my car. Can anyone recommend a good set of coilovers? Don’t want to spend more than $650.”

Want. Then again, I also like the interior of my Series.Blue, which many people don’t, so I guess I’m one of the weirdos.
