I know this is just supposed to be a swipe at the BRZ’s lack of power, but “lugging” an engine has nothing to do with that, so... bad troll is bad!

But then we’re back to square one: dick-measuring a car based on raw numbers instead of real-world performance. I mean sure, you could argue that “well lots of torque has real-world implications because you COULD stay in 4th and accelerate without shifting” which isn’t untrue, but most people are going to downshift if…

Yeah, even cruising at 20 MPH in 4th gear would be lugging the engine. Point is 4th gear is dumb for this test. At least at the speeds stated.

2nd gear would make more sense here. Or 3rd maybe. 4th is silly. In an automatic, it would downshift to 2nd. In a manual, if you aren’t downshifting from 4th, you such at manual-ing. Pretty sure I’d be lugging the engine in my BRZ if I tried to do this in 4th.

I already paid it. I agree it’s kinda bullshit, but technically I did violate the law, so fighting it wouldn’t do ME any good, most likely, unless the judge is in a great mood or something, lol

I always am extra careful at red light camera intersections. Unfortunately, I simply missed the sign this time, so I had no idea it even was one, lol.

Right in the middle of downtown, where cops abound, and they probably got away with it, too. Meanwhile, I got a $100 fine in the mail for this minor mistake in a Chicago suburb last week. I failed to come to a COMPLETE stop. Even sillier, traffic from the left had a red light, as only one direction gets the green at a…

The fact that every single one of these photos looks straight out of the movie is pretty fucking cool.

Not sure how it’s unfair. At the end of the day, the result is the same. It’s not like if you crash a gas-powered car, the obstacle you hit is going to go, “Oh, those poor people have a giant engine in the front of the car. Let’s go easy on them!”

It’s a track car. Have you ever followed another car on a track at 150 MPH? Do you know what gravel and other debris kicked up by the car in front of you does to you when you’re traveling at that speed? Lol.

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
