Thanks for watching!

Every time a BRZ video of yours pops up, I watch it without hesitation

[narennallapareddy]

The more videos I see about BRZ, the more I become interesred. It's probably one of the last true sport cars before dawn of inevitible elctric age.

I will say dealer markups are price gouging and should be illegal. I tried to test drive a 22 civic SI yesterday and not only was the dealer not allowing test drives, they added a 6k markup on top of MSRP. So a 32k car is now 38 and out the door is over 40k. That's ridiculous

I love my BRZ! I bought in February and have hardly driven until recently because of the summer-rated tires. I have the "limited" version, which in Canada is called "sport tech" (no idea why there is a different name for it). It puts a smile on my face every time i drive it. This car is not about absolute speed, but travelling on twisty roads, or the rare traffic circle we have here. So much fun!

Those beautiful hands are once again hypnotizing me to get one of these... I miss both my old FRS and my BRZ dearly, they always just felt so special to drive. Seeing you drive these ZC8s is getting me feeling nostalgic, and now I'm perusing the classifieds! Maybe I need to grab a GR86 and we get on track for a head to head... 😉

[Camhill]

Thank you for the shoutout! Any time you’re in the Tampa area, you can take any of my cars out for some videos

[zrz]

I've seen some GR86/BRZ owners run the USB cable under their seat and to the driver's door side. They plug in the phone and rest it in the door handle area when driving. I figured I'd do that as I can't think of another decent area either. Hope this helps, love your videos and am eagerly awaiting my GR86 order's arrival!

I love the Cameron Hill shoutout. That man has been a gem to the car enthusiast community.

[afbrat]

One of the best 2022 BRZ videos I have seen. Nicely done.

I just factory ordered a 2023 BRZ Premium in WR Blue to replace my 2020 performance pack in the same color. Your videos are the reason I've fallen in love with this platform and I am so excited to get my 23!

[maxz]

Congrats on 400k subs, keep up the great work!

[mpa]

Loved this comparison! You should do old vs new in the future

[Kottery]

Convenient timing for this to pop up in my recommended; I JUST got home from the Subaru dealership and placing my order for a manual BRZ Limited. First car I've ever bought, been driving my dad's old Tundras for the past decade. Was originally gonna go for the GR86, but the Toyota dealerships here refused to let me place an order for one saying I just have to get lucky that one would come in and that it was extremely unlikely for a manual version to come in to Subaru I went.

[ABluBRZ]

Great video! Your original video on your premium sold me on the car. Just put an order down on this exact spec (Lim, WRB, MT) last week. This wait is going to be hard, but so worth it!

[ajlee]

LOVE that shout out to Savagegeese! Keep up the great work!

[aroundomaha]

After several autocross events I'm ecstatic with my BRZ. I added the front camber bolts and 245/40R17 Falken RT660s and the grip limits on-course is amazing. I also did an event on the Primacy tires and it was a nice exercise in car control, perhaps even more fun than on the Falkens. I didn't care about the 18 inch wheels on the Limited since I run 17s for autocross.

I’m a simple man….I see new brz content from TheTopher, I click like and watch.

[TheCldmstrsn]

I am surprised people aren't getting the spoiler on these. It looks so good!

[ak]

Car really is comfortable with a surprisingly plush ride. Coming from a Focus ST (which was firm but not terrible), the BRZ is pretty big improvement.

[RippedPantsss]

Just bought the 2023 brz limited, absolutely worth every cent!
