if u have brz frs or 86 youre in all the fams thats a major up side, but... youd think since theres so many of them prices for parts would be a lil bit cheaper oem parts
I got a brz and only because toyota didn't know how to do the valve spring recall and blew those engines or have engines rolling that might blow soon. My car before the brz was a 90 toyota celica so I was faced with a hard decision 😅.
I'm old school so this is the modern equivalent of Camaro/firebird. The same car but different enough to have their own styles. Or in the truck world Chevy/GMC.
Except they’re literally the same car, all produced by Toyota, technically because Toyota owns a portion of Subaru, they made it different brands because 1 Toyota wanted a boxer engine in it, and 2 for marketing purposes
@@Triggeredjpg I liked the frs better than the brz back in the day but like the new brz better than the 86. Low key think the frs looked better than the 86 even though it's older
No matter which one you end up choosing I think the really valuable aspect of these cars is what he lovingly refers to as 'lego'. These are great, comfortable, easy, and when taken care of reliable platforms to learn how to work with vehicles. At the end of the day, more could you as for in a coupe daily driver.
Agree on the lego part. I'll probably never sell my FRS and just keep modding it over time. Someday maybe giving it to my son when he's old enough. Probably still be rocking the Raijins and BR Coilovers by then too. Thanks for those guys!
I have a '15 BRZ. I went to both local dealerships, Subaru and Scion, and what an eyeopener. The Scion dealership was one corner of a Chevrolet - Toyota regional dealership chain with a 'Meh' reputation and their salesmen weren't interested in talking to me about the one FR-S. they had: an automatic parked inside the showroom. If I were a teenager or some 20-something I might have understood, but I was in my fifties! On the other hand the local Subaru dealership has a long standing stellar reputation for excellent service and many of my co-workers recommend them. Their salesmen happily let me test drive a car and even though I didn't take the engine over the break-in limit of 4500rpm I could tell that it was what I wanted. My decision was made by the dealership reputation and the fact that the BRZ could be optioned with heated seats, pushbutton start, etc. - better options! I agree, the car needs more power. The problem isn't the 'only 200HP' issue, it's mostly the 'barely 151 ft-lbs' of torque that pretty much disappears between 3000 and 5000 rpm issue! Out of the box, the car barely has enough power off the line to beat it's own shadow - its almost dangerous! You learned that once up to speed you would need to downshift two or three gears to accelerate, which was quite intimidating at first! I strongly suggest any BRZ/FR-S owner spring $500 for the Open Flash Tablet as is does a decent job of filling in the "Torque Dip". I also installed a catted UEL header and a cat-back exhaust. They also fill in the torque deficit and cut down on the need for heroic downshifting! There is no local dyno so I am guessing it might make 220 HP, maybe? The Prius tires don't help at all, they wear like iron and have the same traction. My winter wheel/tire set has more traction. I have Pilot Sport 4s' on Enkei RPF-1s for summer tires and they increase the BRZ's grip by an order of magnitude. I use mine as a daily driver. I switch between an older BMW 3-series (not an M!) and the BRZ. They are comparable in performance but totally different in personality.
Comparing these to SRT4 and civics is not giving them enough credit. The chassis an the weight distribution is one of the best in the business and makes for an extraordinary platform to build on..... TASTEFULLY.... If you can keep them unsullied, they’re going to be classics.. The FRS is a good example of this.
That’s the problem though, people that don’t drive these cars 10/10 will never feel the brilliance of them. I personally have one and it’s perfect for me, however I am a 10/10 driver and I go to autox events. I could imagine someone that isn’t THAT hardcore to not find these as much fun.
I'd get a BRZ because: It comes with heated seats and dual zone climate control and where I live the winters are ROUGH. (also I like how the headlights and gauge cluster looks more but...those are very simple to swap between the two cars)
Another interesting fact about people who choose a BRZ over an FRS/86 is that 78% of BRZ owners drive a manual transmission where only 33% of the FRS/86 community drive manual, based on 2018 findings. driving.ca/subaru/brz/auto-news/news/most-subaru-brz-drivers-prefer-manual-while-toyota-86-drivers-go-automatic
You buy the subaru cause its a subaru engine in it. Ask 2013 owners with valve springs issues.. I would prefer a subaru tech working on my engine than a toyota one.
Yup, I would feel the same way if I had a pre-2015 one (the year the valve spring issues were fixed). Even then, I'd still rather take it to a Subaru dealership because boxers are all they do.
I think the biggest difference you missed was just interior. When they first came out, from what I saw when I was spec-ing them out, the brz had the cooler interior with little race style toggle switches near the shifter and the digital display for your dual climate control. The frs however had the really cheap looking three dials that looked like my '98 jetta The frs got that option in the later years as well as the Toyota version when the gt86 came out. Other than that, same car.
Agreed Alex, please stop making loud/angry BRZ, FRS, 86 and put some power based performance stuff or just leave them at the stock power and just make it look good. These cars are becoming more and more this generations ricer Civic
I've got a 13' BRZ. The only mods i've done is Suspension, wheels, sti lip kit, Ducktail, and UEL PSR Header. That's all i need. and all will ever need. mostly cosmetic mod and sound.
I am from europe and at first I really didn't get what (mostly american) people like so much about euro cars, to me they just seemed so basic because I saw them so often, but I have started to appreciate them a lot more because I feel like some people would love to have some of the cars we have because they are quite unique sometimes.
There isn't a battle. JDM outshines Euro trash every time. There's only one Asian company that doesn't beat Euro trash every time, and that's Subaru, and even that's only due to the Boxer engine.
@@Jmj__ who the fuck cares about fast when your car has to go to the mechanic every month to spite being brand new. The last euro car that was worth a fuck in terms of reliability was the old Mercedes 240 from 1980. Call me when you have production cars capable to going 1000000 km and still going with just regular maintenance. Also most of those JDM cars that were "made" fast by the owners, STILL outshine euro trash in reliability.
I take it to the track too much lmao. I daily it in the summer but its main purpose of this car was to introduce me into time attack, and its doing just that!
A big advantage for me in canada when i looked at buying one (decided not to) is insurance savings but it would take you 10 years to come out at zero $
I think something that needs to be said. As a Toyobaru owner you can shop for parts at both Subaru and Toyota dealers. The exact same part can have a huge price difference between 2 dealers.
If you compare the two you need to point out the fact that the frs had a different spring rate front and back than the brz. When the 86 took the frs place they matched the spring rate to the brz, but early models where different
To pick the BRZ just because it's a Subaru is silly because the FR-S is also a Subaru. Every single piece on the FR-S was manufactured, assembled,and has the stamp of Fuji Heavy Industries/Subaru.
Not angry, but bumper covers, headlights dual projectors on brz, tail lights, trunk insulation on brz, suspension, interior options like heated seats and radio set up on the brz. And some color options. Brz costs more due to brand, and interior tech, better projectors. Both good though. I like the frs more in the video.
BRZ comes with more features without having to look for the special editions of the FR-S (Monogram, 10 Series, Hakone). I took on the mission of converting my FR-S to a BRZ (all harnesses swapped and smart access features installed). it was a painful project, but thankfully I completed it. FR-S does carry a more aggressive front while the 86 and BRZ is a more refined look. Overall... Left shoe, right shoe.
One has a Frown, one has a happy face, one is a catfish . They all good and very much the same i got the brz . Cause it has black and red stitching, push start, heated seats, spoiler, radio apps and more leather for the same price as a new 2020 86 with one 2/6 of those things i listed
The unequal length headers gives that traditional “Subie” rumble. But he’s going to want to watch his pistons. The 2.0 is meant to be equal length. So doing that cause extra stress.
Which would I choose? The Subaru. 2 Main reasons: there is a terrific Subie specialist near me (and, yes, I know that both cars are pretty much Subarus), and since I have a mountain of CDs, I would pick the Subaru because of the 2-3 cars it is the only one factory fitted with a CD player. Try finding the Scion or Toyota with a factory CD player.
Nitpicking here, but that FRS looks like a 2013, not a 2016. You can tell because it doesn’t have a sharkfin antenna and the stock radio isn’t a touchscreen. Overall great video, and awesome series idea
I own a used 2013 base model FR-S and my buddy has a new(one owner) 2018 BRZ Ts and we had this discussion once because his girlfriend asked what is the difference? We asked around owners from varies age groups and found the results interesting. The younger owners would prefer the FR-S since it is cheaper as a used vehicle compared to a BRZ of the same year. Save some money for the first few mods. With the older generations ie baby boomers, they rather buy a BRZ since the car brand is better know, it offers different trim levels, and it one complete package deal. Regardless, I would pick the FR-S since Scion only sold the car only one trim level with a fix MSRP (with special editions throughout the years); therefore, I can enjoy building it. Plus I always have a good ice breaker since a lot of people would ask, "Scion, is that a new brand? I never heard of it. They must make expensive cars." - (me in my head, it is just a Toyota/Subaru)
People act like modifying a car doesnt make it faster unless you put a snail on it. I bet that 99.99% of people who watch this channel would be shocked at how quick both of these cars probably are.
Pretty sure the only real differences between the FRS and BRZ aside from the small ascetic changes is the BRZ is supposed to have more sound insulation and the FRS suspension is supposed to be more prone to oversteer at the limit where as the BRZ is setup for grip. Aside from that their the same.
As a brz owner u always gotta correct people when they call ur car a frs ;) i always make sure they know its the same thing just. A different interior and bumper
I have the FRS. Any other FRS/BRZ owners chime in! Where's your rattle? :DDDDDD Mine's behind the back seat, passenger side. Really rattles after the MXP exhaust was added on cold starts before the cats warm up and the thing calms down. The subwoofer in the trunk also brings out that rattle. :P One of these days I'll tear that panel out and figure out what's making it happen. It's the same car. I bought one because it was affordable, it was fun, I thought its shape was beautiful, and it has that fun quirk of being a car designed and built by two companies and sold by three. It doesn't really know what it wants to be but it does it very well anyway. It's been a great convo starter at places like gas stations where regular non-car people notice the thing, come up, and start asking questions about the car. My favorite encounter being one dude in his 40s that was SURE it was a humorously rebadged Maserati.
Scion FRS owner, any tips for where to start nodding? I'm thinking about getting a little more engine power and speed. Also I love this car, hugs curves and sharp turns like a champion
If only my brz looked that nice and clean! I daily mine and due to the pandemic i had to move into the country side. So much for keeping the blue all shiny. Dang dusty roads! 😭

I think the Toyota badge makes it seem so much more unsuspecting. But you nailed it, I would choose Scion/Toyota purely out of brand loyalty.

As a brz owner u always gotta correct people when they call ur car a frs ;) i always make sure they know its the same thing just. A different interior and bumper
what a beautiful car
I have the FRS. Any other FRS/BRZ owners chime in! Where's your rattle? :DDDDDD
Mine's behind the back seat, passenger side. Really rattles after the MXP exhaust was added on cold starts before the cats warm up and the thing calms down.
The subwoofer in the trunk also brings out that rattle. :P
One of these days I'll tear that panel out and figure out what's making it happen.
It's the same car. I bought one because it was affordable, it was fun, I thought its shape was beautiful, and it has that fun quirk of being a car designed and built by two companies and sold by three. It doesn't really know what it wants to be but it does it very well anyway. It's been a great convo starter at places like gas stations where regular non-car people notice the thing, come up, and start asking questions about the car. My favorite encounter being one dude in his 40s that was SURE it was a humorously rebadged Maserati.
The cup holders in the BRZ/FRS suck mine got stolen :(
Lmao what 😂
lock your car next time lol
@@finnster321 I did lol
Not all BRZ’s have keyless start, I’d know bc I don’t
BRZ premiums come without keyless start and no climate control. limited does. most Ive seen have limited features
Some brz comes with the sti red intake manifold and brembo brakes. Not sure if the frs does.
men drive the brz and women drive the frs 😂
Scion FRS owner, any tips for where to start nodding? I'm thinking about getting a little more engine power and speed. Also I love this car, hugs curves and sharp turns like a champion
Gels’ 86 is coming along niceley👌
exhaust sounds like garb on blue one
There is a camera in your face and your looking at the one to your right lol
Then I realized someone was in the other seat lol
As a brz owner who hates orange, that brz is a little ricey. The frs had some tasteful mods for sure.
Yes babe I’m looking at differences in the same cars
Grrr8 Video!!!
I went with an FRS for a few reasons. The FRS has lower insurance rates and yes it was less used. (FRS wheel specs?)
Great video as always. What wheels are on the FRS? I need some for my Genesis. thanks.
nevermind just saw it in the video.
If only my brz looked that nice and clean! I daily mine and due to the pandemic i had to move into the country side. So much for keeping the blue all shiny. Dang dusty roads! 😭
