I Donated thefultonhow Posted December 6, 2012 I Donated Share Posted December 6, 2012 Not trying to flame you, just the brz was built to be a lightweight, rwd car. Four (well two and two halves) door miata basically. It is a 2-door... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red beast Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 it will get a 1.8L turbo before it gets AWD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnJack Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 As was mentioned, given the position of the drive train, it is not possible without a massive re-design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subies4Life Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 it will get a 1.8L turbo before it gets AWD Who said it will get a 1.8L? who the hell wants that small of an engine? I like the BRZ,I've seen a few around town. I think an STI version will be awesome too once it arrives. To the OP if you want an AWD coupe i suggest waiting for the Mazda 6 Coupe to come out in a few years. Mazda might be making an AWD version of the car in all variants and even the Mazdaspeed 6 has been green lit for production in possibly 2015! hopefully the next MZ3 will get AWD. I've also seen the new Focus ST around town not a bad car but FWD only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the BRZ,I've seen a few around town but man,that car is over priced for what it is and only 200HP and 156TQ? I think the STI version will be better once it arrives.

TrueWhiteBoy Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Sounds like the STI concept that was making the rounds http://www.autotribute.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Subaru-BRZ-STI-Concept-side-view.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmmrdwn Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Damn, you guys are brutal. But I appreciate the responses. I've never even seen one of the BRZ's up close and I'm not a gearhead so this was obviously an ignorant question. Time to move on to another topic. Don't worry about it JVranicar. Many of them can dish it out and can't take it. That's the way they roll around here. People need thick skin and a nomex suit around here. Just ignore them.

mass-hole Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 a little off topic but. . . My cousin bought an FR-S as his DD. I was very hyped about the FR-s/BRZ and was considering it as a possible future investment, until I went and saw his. Now I do understand the concept of this car, lightweight and great on a track, but I would find it very difficult to spend the money they are asking for it. Its has a fairly spartan interior and you really dont get a whole lot of car for the money, the rear seats a all but completely unusable, my cousins 5'-2" gf's head touches the roof. I mean what really costs so much in this car to make the base 25.5k? Its not like they are using some exotic material to build it. Its a 6spd thats used in half the cars on the planet, including the V6 camaro and CTS, a torsen diff, and a fairly standard 2L motor. It handles well, and people are willing to pay for it.

One of the local dealers here had a $3.5k dealer markup for an AUTO. The sticker price was over 30k:eek: I mean, yes, it looks like a great car, but that's putting it into Mustang GT territory..

I wouldn't buy an auto, and I wouldn't pay $30k for either of those cars. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 lol go look at the BRZ FR-S has the shitty interior money all went into engineering the drive-ability of the car, not little gizmos "standard 2l?" right... If I had 30k, I'd definitely get it and track it, not some POS mustang or genesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If I had $30k, I'd get a Factory Five 818 as a track car, and then spend the remaining $15k on hookers & blow. Then I'd teach a hooker to lap a BRZ in the 818. Because hookers will do anything for blow. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had 30k, I'd definitely get it and track it, not some POS mustang or genesis If i had 30k, my ass would be in a low mileage C5Z or C6. Who isnt making a motor at least similar to the one in this car? What makes it so great? What makes the BRZ cost the same price as a Focus ST. handling and dynamics aside, the focus is a far superior car in terms of interior quality, comfort, usability, and technology. Im sure ford put their time/$ in on the focus since they managed to make a fwd handle like it does. reviews all come back completely positive.

I looked locally at one dealer and they had 5 of them on the lot. I don't see how the demand could be high enough to warrant price gouging if 5 are sitting there unclaimed. They are easily accessible so it has to be that people are walking in thinking they arn't. Edit: NVM they have 7 in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
