I just changed the spark plugs in my BRZ. I’m aware of it being more difficult than a typical vehicle. I was more referring to the “additional” service required that you mentioned. Mine currently has 70,000 miles, and I haven’t done any additional service... or any service at all, other than oil changes, filter

Touche.

Lots of people in the comments here who are quick to fault the location of the tanks, despite having absolutely NO understanding of the design requirements and constraints for these kinds of vehicles.

I have had the oil tested at every oil change. I also change the oil filter every 5,000 miles. Using AMSOIL Signature Synthetic 0W-20. Test results are positive. My last 10,000 mile run, I actually didn’t need to add a drop of oil, and the car was still almost full on the dipstick, and many of my metal levels were at

What additional service does it require over a normal engine configuration, if I may ask?

A 2014 FR-S?

To be fair... the engines only stopped being reliable after the Toyota technicians serviced them, lol.

Lol. I do 10,000 mile interval oil changes on my BRZ. I’ve basically done an entire season of autocross on the same oil.

Lol. I always read that as “FaCtoRy tRaIneD.”

One possible theory is that the FA20 is still a *relatively* new engine for Subaru. Unlike the EJ25 which has been around since WWII. Perhaps there are nuances in this engine design that make this timing cover reseal slightly more difficult than the older engine, and technicians simply don’t have enough experience

I just did this for the first time a month ago. My flight back home from Amsterdam got canceled due to a mechanical issue, and I was bumped back a day. Once I got home, I sent customer service an email citing the EU law, and got an email back saying they were happy to either mail me the $670 check, or give me a

I agree... but I really just wanted to point out how terrible that green color was.

Me too... but not that green!

I always thought it looked faded.

Case-in-point, I bought a Mustang GT from CarMax several years ago. It was $10k less than every other Mustang GT of the same year, mileage, and options, both on and off their lot. The difference was that the car had been on the lot for 90 days...

I really hope that Ford takes note of how quickly the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison sold out for 2019, and re-evaluates their decision not to bring the Ranger Raptor stateside...

For all the shit we tend to give driver assist software these days, can we just take a step back for a moment and appreciate how cool the technology is? Watching this SUV avoid all those collisions all by itself is pretty fucking cool. Cars have come a long way.

It's a rolling experiment. Not a Ferrari.

As someone with an aerospace engineering degree, I can all but guarantee that his aerodynamic improvements have netted him way more than a 1-2% decrease in aerodynamic drag. Mirrors alone on a vehicle can be responsible for several percentage points of the overall drag. This is an older Prius. It has a higher Cd than

Engineers are excellent at optimizing airflow, but they also have to do so while staying within the confines of typical automotive design. I can guarantee you that the vehicle you see is likely significantly more aerodynamically efficient than the standard one, since he didn’t have to worry about things like, “We need
