Sadev would be happy to sell you the transmission. For about $25k

The tan leather in that generation gets visibly dirty if you just look in its general direction. Most of that should come off with 10 minutes and a tube of armor all wipes

I agree with you that $8,500, but as renegade said, saying there's nothing special isn't exactly accurate. It's basically a WRX powertrain in a wagon. Goes like stink while flying under the radar of police and insurance rates.

Speaking as an owner of one of these that price is high for final sale, but a fair starting point for negotiations. IF it’s had the timing belt done, and IF you can talk him down around $6,500 (actually, even $7,000-7,500 in this crazy market) then I’d call it a good buy.

As it happens the Pajero Evo photo was taken at Radwood in Connecticut. So yes, there are a few running around stateside!

While struggling with a minivan was certainly true of the first gen BRZ I’d argue it’s less accurate with the new second gen. The manual BRZ has returned a 0-60 of about 5.8 in media tests, which isn’t exactly the sharpest end of the sports car field but does now put it within about a half second of cars like the four…

My helmet, 3/4 of the way through my second rally. We’d sheared a brake line and lost the brakes, so we stopped on transit to try to fix it. I put my helmet on the roof and, in the subsequent rush to get to the next stage forgot to grab it when we got back in the car. If not for the broken down competitor at the stage…

Having just lost a friend to a drunk driver last night, I would very much like to tell Mr McKay that he can go to hell

I see what you're saying, but on the other hand the Boostang has only gained .4 seconds since it debuted nine years ago, the GT has gained .6, the ZL-1 Camaro .3. I agree the BRZ is on the slower slope of the bell curve, but I'd argue slightly less so than ten years ago, not more so

About .7 faster to 60 and a full second faster in the quarter

I thought I would hate the turn signals, but honestly I got used to them a lot faster than expected. I continue to and forever will hate the stupid digital bar fuel gauge though

That horsepower figure is the first gen, second gen is rated at 228. The BRZ/86 is also notorious for exceeding its EPA rating, to the extent that another automotive site (I want to say Car and Driver) called it the car exceeds its EPA numbers by the largest margin. I had a 2016 and could regularly get highway figures…

It is, by virtually all accounts, a very good engine, but it isn't a homologated one. The Yaris WRC car uses a 4 cylinder, as required by the rules, not a 3 cylinder

If it helps, a 2004 STI weighed pretty much exactly the same and was the same length. 

Do you mean not fast in regards to acceleration or not fast in regards to top speed? Because at the time it held the production car world record for fastest 0-60

How do y'all not even mention the RS200?

As the very happy owner of an Outback XT I’m always eager to encourage others to buy one... but maybe not that one.

Man I LOVED going to the Yankee Candle car museum as a kid. Unfortunately after Kitteridge sold the company the museum wasn't long for this world 

It’s center of the windshield just below the banner. Gus is blocking it with his body in the shorter video, but you can see it on in the longer video. There’s also a light in the rear side window, just behind the B-Pillar, though with the low video quality I can’t make that one out.

Spectators, no. Marshalls, yes, especially when you can hear the people inside yelling for help
