A couple of notes after watching your video. I own a 2014 brz limited 6MT. 1 The USB port won't charge your phone, tried my iphone and actually it drains the battery if you leave it connected for extended periods of time(car is on of course). 2- the empty plastic space between the trac off and vsc sport setting is only available as a button in the automatic version for snow and sport/manual mode and is not specific to northern regions. Regards!!
Bought my limited edition brz not 7 months ago. I go driving weekly in it just to drive. These cars are amazing. If you enjoy driving, and enjoy the road, get a brz/frs. Its worth every penny.
Exoticars19 yup, got a bra when they came out in 2013, best bang for the buck, and just fucking rip through 4 gears before getting to speed limit, its a blast
Great review! I like that you went thru the trunk and gas lever, and even the buttons inside the car.. i sat on one of these in the dealership but i didnt get full detail bout the car but with this review it helped me made my decision! Thanks man!
Im getting a new car soon and the BRZ/FRS has my attention the most. But what sucks about these cars is the back seat :( if I want to take friends somewhere they will be so cramped back there. Anyway, best review I've watched so far. Great job!
The Limited trim also comes with the fake CF dashboard panels, I'm not sure if that applies to all trim levels for the 2015 models or just the Limited and Series.Blue.
Will follow your brz videos man! Hahahah! Request maybe hmm.. you can show us a video riding at night and how the adjustable headlamp looks like! Pov style :) thanks!
Hey nice review. An advise for next time, please don't mention something that people will find it obvious. Like the gas door switch, change am/fm, how to get to the back seat. It seems like you are trying to lengthen the video unnecessarily. Other than that, good job on the review.
Thats what makes it a full, in depth tour and review. if i didn't, it would just be an overview. i did an overview video too thats much shorter in duration if you are interested in that.
Who the doesn't know how to open gas tank door? And how to switch amfm radio. Why don't you add how to shift gear, which one is clutch pedal. Or how to turn the steering wheel. That's "in-depth" right
yogaexe Because this isn't a "how to drive stick shift" video. PS. i do have a tutorial if you want to check that out. how about you give this video a thumbs down, and leave. You think you can make a better video, by all means, who's stopping you? don't tell me how to run my channel.
So at 5'11" how do you fit in the driver's seat? I'm 6'3" and am worried that this might be a bit too cramped. I might go to a dealer to try it out sometime though.
Going to a dealer is probably your best bet. At 5'11" i have the seat moved a bit forward with plenty of room over my head. My dad at 6'1" fits with no problem at all. i would imagine you would too.
Hi there - really good video - how are those seats on a journey of an hour or more ? Torn between the WRX and this car ! Love the look of the BRZ but probably need the practicality of the WRX...
My longest drive so far was when i drove to a lake about 1 1/2 hours away, making it a 3 hour round trip. i made that trip twice now. once was with one passenger, and it was as comfortable as a BMW sedan. that other time was with 4, yes 4 people. (including myself) that was pretty cramped. so it just depends, if your going to have people in the back seats, get the WRX. in my case, i rarely have more than one passenger. Yes the BRZ is a bit more "sporty" when it comes to a windy road, but the WRX has everything a practical car lover wants. IMO, the new WRXs look drop dead gorgeous!
Whats your opinion on the head unit for the series blue? I've heard so many bad things about the brz head unit which is honestly my deciding factor between a brz and an frs.
i think so. for the 2 grand, you get all the luxuries that would have ran a fortune in a german car. like leather, heated seats, etc. as far as the exterior, people would know it the limited by the beautiful spoiler, and fog lights. end of the day, its mostly opinionated. check both out, and choose the one you think is the right one.
How many cars under 2800 pounds come with 300 hp out of the factory? That's overkill in stock form and matches the level of expensive exotics in power to weight ratio which isn't something you really want in a mass produced car that costs less than 30 grand primarily because of safety.
More options. The frs for the most part is kinda as it sits. with the brz, you have the option to opt to leather, dual climate control, hands free blue tooth connectivity, all the little features like that. As far as preference, i honestly like the styling the brz has with it's daytime running LEDs. Plus, and this may just be me, i'd rather drive a subaru than scion as far as brands go. especially this one with STI badges even though it's no true STI. really its all preference but that was just my reasoning.
I Am potato I went with the FR-S why you may ask? one word HERITAGE. but then again I also have a BRZ bumper so I can switch bumpers when I want lol. I guess best of both worlds in a sense.
love the review i am looking into trading my charger for either a brz, wrx, or a honda civic si. So far i think im leaning toward the brz. What do you think?? I also live in TX so the AWD isnt at all a necessity.
Thanks for the feedback! And well, i never drove either wrx or civic. if you could, it probably be best to test drive all of them. they're 3 very different cars so id imagine you'd make up your mind quit easily.
exoticars19 Its no problem I appreciate you taking the time out to respond and I'm not too sure what I want right now I've been going back and forth between the civic SI and the BRZ. When I fully decide I'll be sure to let you know and give a few reasons.
Hey man just thought id let you know today I test drove the SI and while i was at the Honda dealer I got to drive the FRS to kind of give me an idea of what the BRZ is like and I had a lot of fun with it. I think i like it more than the SI but its way smaller in person that i had imagined.
Ray Zala Use a fabric pen to remove the blue and make it whatever you want. The only problem left then is the wheel and seats. You could get a cover for the wheel, not sure what to do with the blue bolsters though.
Berkeclor92 I have no idea where you get that crazy idea from, but this car has more space than mx-5(nc) or RX-8 which can accommodate 6'3+ people lol. Believe me I can even jump and dance in the car while driving :p
Marco Mendoza Hahaha, you could've stopped watching after 1 minute... And waste of your life? like you were on youtube to make use of your life, get real.
hiroanz Damn, should've got a Camry instead of my crappy ol' BRZ. Plus, theres plenty of space for the kids and soccer balls for when I'm older and turn into a soccer mom. oh well... ;D

Without a doubt!
Do you use it as a daily driver?
Native722 yes i do, very practical. as long as your comfortable.
Exoticars19 yup, got a bra when they came out in 2013, best bang for the buck, and just fucking rip through 4 gears before getting to speed limit, its a blast
Chris Mackinnon That's what they were made for, bang for buck and a blast!
Great review! I like that you went thru the trunk and gas lever, and even the buttons inside the car.. i sat on one of these in the dealership but i didnt get full detail bout the car but with this review it helped me made my decision! Thanks man!
Not a problem! And thanks for the feedback!
Nice review! Big fan of the white/black look. Sweet car!
Thank you very much!
I drive a 5.0 Mustang daily, weekend GTI and on occasion a FRS and all I can say is handling is the BEST!
starting to become a fan of the BRZ... Looks beautiful in this color combo!
This is really a nice car the interior is much nicer then my wrx
Im getting a new car soon and the BRZ/FRS has my attention the most. But what sucks about these cars is the back seat :( if I want to take friends somewhere they will be so cramped back there. Anyway, best review I've watched so far. Great job!
This honestly looks so much better than Scion's TRD edition frs
oh! What a nice door handle!!!! Wow! I'm gonna buy it! I don't care how it drives! Wow!
fantastic
thanks alot man i'm stuck between this and a genesis coupe i just don't know which one i should purchase
The Limited trim also comes with the fake CF dashboard panels, I'm not sure if that applies to all trim levels for the 2015 models or just the Limited and Series.Blue.
Oh wow, must be new to 2015. Thats cool.
Great video and review, but you may need a tripod and a stabilizer when doing the zooming and angle and other stuff... great car as well...
Will follow your brz videos man! Hahahah! Request maybe hmm.. you can show us a video riding at night and how the adjustable headlamp looks like! Pov style :) thanks!
Easy! ill get on it sometime this next week!
Thank you ! :)

yogaexe who would have though you would've gotten offended by a gas tank door. (btw, its different on all cars, thats why i mentioned it)
I'm gonna give you thumbs up for you In depth. Hope you are more open to criticism next time.
How much do you think a 36 month lease on one of these would be?
a lottttt!!!!!!!
My stock Eclipse was able too keep up with it 😂
So at 5'11" how do you fit in the driver's seat? I'm 6'3" and am worried that this might be a bit too cramped. I might go to a dealer to try it out sometime though.
Going to a dealer is probably your best bet. At 5'11" i have the seat moved a bit forward with plenty of room over my head. My dad at 6'1" fits with no problem at all. i would imagine you would too.

perfect video, thanks
Thank you!
Whats your opinion on the head unit for the series blue? I've heard so many bad things about the brz head unit which is honestly my deciding factor between a brz and an frs.
I think it's just fine. i never had any problems with it nor heard of any.
Did you post the link for the brz sticker that goes over the heated seats switches? I can't find it and I've been looking for one.
jlb2013 It's discontinued. They're might be some on eBay though.
Hey man, did you ever share the link for the carbon fiber-like piece around the seat warmers? Thanks!
Michael Northrup I found out it was discontinued. sorry about that :/
What is the website for aftermarket carbon fiber sticker ?
For someone whos torn in between limited the next trim up, would you say its worth the price jump?
i think so. for the 2 grand, you get all the luxuries that would have ran a fortune in a german car. like leather, heated seats, etc. as far as the exterior, people would know it the limited by the beautiful spoiler, and fog lights. end of the day, its mostly opinionated. check both out, and choose the one you think is the right one.
brz could be bestselling car among the 2 doors if it had over 300hp .
How many cars under 2800 pounds come with 300 hp out of the factory? That's overkill in stock form and matches the level of expensive exotics in power to weight ratio which isn't something you really want in a mass produced car that costs less than 30 grand primarily because of safety.
Hey where did you get that heat seater trim piece?
Im gonna get it soon😫😫😫
I know that the scion frs and the brz are identical but why did u pick the brz over the frs?
More options. The frs for the most part is kinda as it sits. with the brz, you have the option to opt to leather, dual climate control, hands free blue tooth connectivity, all the little features like that. As far as preference, i honestly like the styling the brz has with it's daytime running LEDs. Plus, and this may just be me, i'd rather drive a subaru than scion as far as brands go. especially this one with STI badges even though it's no true STI. really its all preference but that was just my reasoning.
Yeah I was kinda debating on if I like the frs or brz better the interior for the brz is better but inn my opinion the frs front bumper looks great
I Am potato Yeah that's the biggest difference as far as styling goes.
I Am potato I went with the FR-S why you may ask? one word HERITAGE. but then again I also have a BRZ bumper so I can switch bumpers when I want lol. I guess best of both worlds in a sense.
I kinda like the brz more because of the better interior
love the review i am looking into trading my charger for either a brz, wrx, or a honda civic si. So far i think im leaning toward the brz. What do you think?? I also live in TX so the AWD isnt at all a necessity.

Dominick Isaac Please do! best of luck!
Hey man just thought id let you know today I test drove the SI and while i was at the Honda dealer I got to drive the FRS to kind of give me an idea of what the BRZ is like and I had a lot of fun with it. I think i like it more than the SI but its way smaller in person that i had imagined.
Dominick Isaac i personally like the size of the BRZ/FRS. its compact so you have more garage space while it is also fun on a windy and narrow road.
Sorry but since you got the series blue shouldn't the car be what, I don't know. BLUE!
+Danny B The interior is blue... that's blue enough for me. Beside, a name is just a name. I like the look of this package in white.
Yea. Well in every color a suburu brz looks good
That's like saying you get a black series car in white, it's just a name...
logic i guess
Danny B Series blue, 1,000 made, all come with a blue interior. That logic?
It's possible subaru built a large coupe ?
+Caio Caldas see Subaru SVX
jo23bulls Unfornately will be a crap shooting brake.
Hi, how tall are you ?
He said 5' 11". I no this is 2 years too late.
HERE!
awesome
as far as... yeah....... until the top here
Jf1zcac16f9605448 can one of y'all check that vin & explain to me how that brz is a blue edition cause I call bs
It's hard being a subbie fan when blue is your least favourite color...
Ray Zala Haha, i like blue, just prefer white.
Yeah it looks amazing in white. I was more so referring to the stitching though. Love the all the updates on the series blue except that :(
Ray Zala Use a fabric pen to remove the blue and make it whatever you want. The only problem left then is the wheel and seats. You could get a cover for the wheel, not sure what to do with the blue bolsters though.
i just hate how slow they are. they need to come with at least 280+ hp and then they will have my attention
Professional race car drivers find this car a joy to drive.
it seems like the back seats are bad... not not bad..lol
When I heard him say blue I was like that car isn't blue
.... its not blue ok
ok??
+alex andrei It's just the name, ok?
With a manual, the 0-62 times is 6.2 seconds!
You go to far in depth on common knowledge.. We know how to work heated seats and light levers lol.. Otherwise, nice vid
"in-depth" is not for you haha, i have an overview video that you'd probably like better.
it kind of looks like a nissan gtr
ill take it
LOL no leg room at all. I'm 5'10. This car not recommended for anyone over 5'10.
im 6ft at this point and still, not a problem. adjust the seat maybe...
Stupid comment.
I've been driving this car for 2 years with no problems and Im 6ft 2 lol
^To sit comfortable it is a car meant for no taller than 5'10. I bet u two are cramped.
Berkeclor92 I have no idea where you get that crazy idea from, but this car has more space than mx-5(nc) or RX-8 which can accommodate 6'3+ people lol. Believe me I can even jump and dance in the car while driving :p
u have small torso.
Use a fucking tripod to film....
Sorry, didn't think anybody would get offended. How's this?... ruclips.net/video/TAwTMo4faJw/видео.html
lol 7.3 seconds
Brad M Faster than taking the bus like yo ass! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!
Near VII Hahaha, i'm going to have to start using that ;D
Maybe but I think a bus stands a chance in the 7.3 bracket.
Brad M Please stop you're hurting me haha
Brad M
Not when you have to wait 30 minutes at the bus stop for it lulz.
Wow 17 min of my life waisted usless info on things that I probably won't even notice if i get the car
Marco Mendoza Hahaha, you could've stopped watching after 1 minute... And waste of your life? like you were on youtube to make use of your life, get real.
Marco Mendoza REKT
My 03 acura tl type s is faster then this
owen563 Very cool!
owen563 '14 Camry V6 is faster than your TL, so by your logic the Camry wins.
hiroanz Damn, should've got a Camry instead of my crappy ol' BRZ. Plus, theres plenty of space for the kids and soccer balls for when I'm older and turn into a soccer mom. oh well... ;D
