With the BRZ having that pseudo Japanese Porsche styling, I always wondered why people hate the design so much. Lol especially with some people recognizing the twins as a poor mans Porsche

I think some people just don't like the design because it's an mix of other signature car designs. But you could tell the evolution from the Old Generation and the new 86. I agree, the BRZ front end really makes it look like a Porsche. I'm really happy from the "first drive" results though, Other than the fact that the engine noise that's piped through a speaker could be annoying, but I think with so many Critics saying the same thing, I think Toyota could still doing tweaks to the car. The cars they drove aren't production models. So we'll see.
Yeah it was something I wanted to point out lol. So if you wanted to be more tail happy, you could definitely go for the Base model.Razorwing: Surprised Topher liked the base car over the Premium car because of the tires.
Eventually, I started seeing how far I could get the back end to slide, to feel just how stupid I could get—all with a gigantic grin on my face the entire time. And all with the utter confidence that the car had my back. Without overwhelming horsepower, it's nigh-on impossible to get into real trouble in this thing unless you abandon all caution.
(By the way, most of us had more fun on the base car's cheaper Michelin Primacy HP tires, which have less grip than the GR 86 Premium's Pilot Sport 4s, and thus are more poised for these kinds of shenanigans.)

With a bigger engine, more power, and a welcome dab of refinement, the Toyobaru's second round is a victory lap.
I guess many of them agreed on this. I would imagine the exception to this would be Todd from Everyday Driver as he would want the stickier tires, higher cornering speed.
That cubby was annoying in my old car because sometimes my elbow sat on it weird. Eventually I got that arm rest that just sits above it. Technically the compartment is still there but just as cup holders with that soft touch material that can close over it.
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised after watching their video. They kind of touch on their thoughts of the previous car where they say about the interior "if you asked my 5 years ago I'm like yeah this is kinda cheap tart it up. But now please don't touch it, leave it simple, it's amazing, it's affordable and you still have a manual transmission".
Oh that thing idk. I didn’t notice. I have to go back through the videos

Boy, am I destined to get a 86.
