I mean, I know this is exaggerating a bit, but you could really dumb your argument down and apply it to any technology in cars.

“A RADIO?! PEOPLE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD, NOT GET LOST IN OTHERWORLDLY STORIES AND NEWS!!!”

“CRUISE CONTROL?!?! PEOPLE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD! THE MORE RESPONSIBILITY YOU…

Subaru barely knows what to do with the BRZ, its joint venture with Toyota, a sports car we think is perfectly fine as-is but has never received the power bumps or turbo engine the masses demanded.

I, too, lack the patience to read more than the first three sentences of an article before commenting.

I’m seeing a new fuel pump, and a new diff. I mean, ideally you’d have fewer problems, but this article sounds like it’s about to delve into a whole bunch of issues. A bubble in the sidewall really shouldn’t count as a vehicle defect. Nor should a cracked windshield resulting from a flung rock...

You must be reading thought those FB comments, because this was spot on.

Higher levels of regenerative braking aren’t “super jolting” unless you are operating the vehicle incorrectly. Note that the term “regenerative braking” has the word “brake” in it. It is a form of braking you can use to decelerate the vehicle. With that said, on a normal car, you don’t just have an on-off switch for…

“...at least one employee had joined Telltale only one week before the closure and had relocated across the country to do so.”

Great. Now I’ll start having to hear over and over about how my BRZ is slower than a Ford Transit Van...

I was merely correcting you exaggerated statement. It’s a niche automobile for a niche market. It was never intended to sell in massive numbers.

For example, the Ford Mustang only accounts for 3.3% of Ford’s US sales. So... arguably the most popular “Sports Car” ever made only outsells the BRZ 4-to-1 comparatively?…

Multiply that number by 56 and you’re closer to the accurate number :P

This is one of the dumbest theories I’ve ever read, lol. You clearly have NO understanding of the relationship between Toyota and Subaru (both as a whole, and with regards to the Toyobaru), nor any common sense if you think that this $60,000 vehicle is going to somehow steal sales from the $25,000 BRZ, lol.

You really…

Normally, keyless push-start just requires that the key be somewhere inside of the car, as detected by a myriad of antennae throughout the vehicle. When the fob battery dies, the antennae in the car can no longer detect it. In that situation, the only way to start the car is to (in the case of the BRZ) physically hold…

It may very well be designed to do that. We can’t make assumptions on how it is designed when it is clearly malfunctioning. It may indeed be significantly “numbed” in off road mode, but if there is a fluke in the code, or if it is getting some weird combo of readings that still makes it think the vehicle is rolling…

Testing isn't as simple as you make it sound. They can send a fleet of vehicles out into off road scenarios, and never log as many hours as the public will within weeks of release. If it was that easy, recalls wouldn't exist.

Let’s be fair. These vehicles are significantly more capable off-road. It’s not just appearance packages; there are a lot of functional upgrades. This sounds like, at the end of the day, a simple programming error. Well... probably not simple. In fact, really complicated, considering all of the variables that go into…

It’s a tiny little button. Not a handle. It’s pretty obvious.

I suspect, if anything, that it’s more to drive the point home that “this wouldn’t necessarily mean you have to buy all new trailers.” Exposing the trailer like this in these photos makes it painfully clear, so that people don’t have to ask the question. Aero can always be added to the Vera, but this is a great way to…

I don’t expect every single person to, but I do expect the primary owner and operator to know how to operate his vehicle. Sorry, but he isn’t getting off the hook here either.

It isn’t a handle. It’s a button. It’s pretty absurd (to me) to assume that an electronic button operates in the same manner as a mechanical door lever.

I do the same thing. I crawl over the car and find everything that exists. But even in my case there are things you don’t learn about unless you read the manual, or do research outside of just fiddling with the car.
