to disable the seatbelt chime, put the car in accessory mode and within 30 seconds buckle and unbuckle the seat belt 20 times and it will disable the chime.
is this for real? I hate the chiming in my 2018 sti
@@HyperdawnYT yup. I'm a product specialist for Subaru
Twenty times 😂 They couldn't have been nice and made it 15?
@@slipp3ryslop3 15, 20 the 5 times aren't gonna make a big difference
@@HyperdawnYT Or just wear your seatbelt?
I believe those rear fender fins are for US regulations, because you can't have a wheel that sticks out of the fender line, and this fin a way around that law, if I recall correctly, Doug said it once on a video.
You are correct
Same régulation in Europe and same rear fender fins, even on small city car
Europe has those laws as well
That is actually certain states within the US. Not all states care about that nonsense.
@@kingRJ- Well if you think that toyota is going to do their cars just so that a hand full of states are happy then I have to tell you that you're gonna have a bad time
I still can't wait till you open that massive crate!
I think its the body kit for his AMG😏
@@kyleinglis4623 agreed
I don't think the car is too expensive, I think you just paid too much lol. Mine was 32.5K out the door with no discount, AND I live in Louisiana, which has the highest sales tax in the US. I would never pay 37k for this car. That one might be on you I'm afraid.
Which dealer did you purchase from in Louis? All cash?
My Steel Premium MT 86 will cost me 41,212 taxs in . Be glad you don't live in Canada
Same here. NW Louisiana and ordered my limited MT BRZ for ~34k total. Definitely get not being too keen on the car for closer to 40k, but getting it closer to 30-35k range it feels more worth it to me.
@@13jeffandtrish my neptune coming in will be around the same price... also from canada where gas prices are insanely high
@@Loiswomgawesome oh I know i have a Sunday Queen 54 Packard that takes premium as well. I might need a second job oye
5:05 Rule number one of track days: don't run OEM pads. Any car. I have Brembos on my '17 BRZ and easily cooked the OEM pads at the track. I know many people who cooked the brakes on their BMW M's. Meanwhile, folks have been running non-Brembo calipers on BRZ/86's with proper track pads successfully for years.
I do agree they should have offered Brembos as an option though.
i think he just wanted to test the car out stock before he does anything else to it in the future.
@@Alex-vz2jz I know many track drivers who are well regarded in their respective car communities, who would also totally want to get a baseline with a car as it came from the factory. But all of them would make a notable exception to put proper track-oriented pads for their first track test. As an example, that is what CSG Mike did with his 2022 BRZ. He's one of the US leaders in track-oriented tuning for the FT86 platform.
Who woudl have thought that oem street made pads don't work on the track?
Well I case of the gr yaris stock brakes are awesome 👌
I have upgraded pads and rotors and I'll never buy brembos or anything.
I just lost my job this week and that outro hit me hard. i was going back and forth as to if i was going to quit and focus on my classes that are coming up next month and i guess this was just life making that decision for me. i am not doing so hot right now but ill figure things out and move forward with my life thank you Evan for always seeming to have the right advice when i truly need it at the end of your videos
How you doing today man?
im doing better found a new job and am working on doing better as a person in many aspects. thanks for checking on me even though im just some guy from the comments section.
Keep grinding man🙏
I like the design of the GR/BRZ this gen. I'm hoping they do make it a litter more aggressive though. I also hope Toyota brings back the Hakone green because that car looked soooo clean.
The rear over fender part is actually regulation not aerodynamic. I think it’s that your tires cannot stick out however far from factory.
Yeah exactly. I'm pretty sure they got a way to take it off 🤔
I vote for a forester sti build. Especially since they didn't offer those in the US.
Yessss
funny you say that because a forester sti is happening just japan exclusive i think

@@ihaveunevennostrils9455 you can import them
@@vegasdriver no like a new forester sti is supposed to come soon in japan only
I think the price-point is spot on. If you look at anything else out there that is new, there isn't anything that comes close other than the Miata, but that is 10k more, and the new BRZ is quicker to boot!
We should really appreciate Toyota and Subaru for still creating cars like these in an age where everyone is buying SUV's. in a decade from now, I don't think we will see sports cars of this caliber created.
Love the review - especially for the interior bits. I placed an order for a red one for spring.
I really appreciate the daily advice big dawg. Thank you
i never get tired of evans motivational / life insight ted talks at the end of the videos, no lie it keeps me coming back vs other car youtubers
Very interesting thanks for the tips Evan 👍
As a Subaru lot Porter I can agree the dinging all the cars give off while I’m moving cars or washing Subarus is very annoying and need to recognize when you are in park and out of the car. I will forever hear the Subaru ding on repeat in my head
Appreciate the words at the end!!! Thanks for posting!!!
The little plastic trim on the rear wheel arches are due to govt regulation. It's to prevent the wheels sticking out beyond the bodywork of the car. If not done they would not be able to sell them stateside.
That’s actually incorrect. While some manufacturers do this, this is actually an aero piece on the BRZ. The wheels are nowhere near sticking out past the fenders.
I commented on how cool it would be to see you back into a
Brz.....Really cool to see the new car going to be better once you tweek it to your modifications
Your brz is the cleanest one for me so far because of the body color & the wheels you put on it 🔥🔥💯🧼
Can’t wait till I get my GR86 kind of waiting till they have other options. But keep up with the great content been following you for a long time and you’ve been growing! Keep it up 👍🏼
Waiting for the valve spring recall to hit 😅 I mean...never again!
@@slipp3ryslop3 That's one of the main reasons I'm likely going BRZ again. I don't want Toyota working on a boxer engine due to a recall. My 2013 had the "bad" valve springs but I never got the recall work done and it wasn't an issue...at least during my 75k miles. From what I understand, the FRS had more issues after valve spring recall than the BRZ (drive ~400mi after recall work & engine dies)
@@slipp3ryslop3 I think the big difference is that the FA engines were all new for 2012. And with new stuff there usually can be some problems that you dont find while testing. The FA platform is now almost 10 years into its production. I believe there will be a lot less problems because of that.
@@TheLeewi98 For sure, I was just making a joke. I have a 2017 86 and no recalls for anything.
@@slipp3ryslop3 Oh ok. I think the fa20 is other than the early valve spring problems been quite a solid engine.
Awesome video like always. Thanks man.
I needed that advice today. Thank you 🙏🏼
I love your rap up. I subbed. Keep bringing the good vibes.
Hadn't even looked at the new 86's until I saw your video lowering it and you sold me, they look so good! The few things you have pointed out though I gotta say I do agree with, might be small OCD things or whatever but it matters. Nothing worse then driving a great car with annoying features. If I can't get my s15 then one of these will definitely be on my list of potential replacements.
Ily thx for the talks at the end
The automatics have a cup holder between the back 2 and the shifter. It'll be interesting to see if that consol piece will fit the manual. The only reason I could see them putting it on the manual is getting in the way of shifting.
Thanks for explicitly showing the cupholders. Many reviewers don't do that. What a design disaster. OCD is awesome sometimes. I drive a boring Subaru Outback, but I can grab my beverage, sip it, and put it back without thinking, and that's a big deal to me.
Quality Evan vid👌🔥
I LOVE THIS REVIEW!! I got my 2022 BRZ November 27th and OMG Everything about this video is on point! I can't stop laughing about the comment on the cupholder position, and the fact that the rear passenger seats just shouldnt even exist !!
For the little piece on the rear fender just glue it back on. My wife’s STi has the plastic overfenders and when I rolled and pulled the rears all the clips broke. Some clamps and a good amount of adhesive later it’s all back on and not moving.
I've driven my 2022 BRZ for over a week now, and I've got to say that I haven't noticed most of the problems that were mentioned here. I have never had to reset the Carplay, and the seatbelt warning sound also goes away once you leave the car. I'm wondering why this BRZ would be different. On a side note, I'm a 20 year old that bought the car in cash deal, so there is a market out there for people who are willing to pay this money at this price point :)
It’s rare, but the car play does disconnect or something randomly. Not having a place to put your phone is definitely an issue that bugs the shit out of me. The car is amazing to drive though.
How much did you end up paying?
I’m actually so happy that you specifically got the new BRZ at first I thought it was hideous but once you lowered it and put nice wheels on it I’ve really liked the over all look since it just looks more sporty now
Yes it’s got a real nice shape looking down on it when it’s lowered the rear looks way more nice when it’s not at hip level coil overs is a first mod for sure
I just find it funny that the issue with the BRZ is the mirror opposite of the issue I had with the Supra. I LOVE the back end of the Supra but I hate the front end haha I HATE that back end of the BRZ/FRS now.
im really thankful i didn't have to see TJ Hunt widebody and bag one first
It's my understanding those rear "spats" your referencing are a legal issue. Apparently, the GOV requires the wheels can't jut out beyond the body of the car and because of the design of the body at that point, they had to add those funny miniature "wings or spats as you called them" to comply with government requirements. This issue was explained in a Japanese CZcams video where someone asked the same thing you did.....
I absolutely love the videos you do on this thing, man. There’s not a lot of content like it right now.
On the center console/cup holder situation…is it not possible to detach the inner plastic from the outer shell on the console? In that case could you possibly pull it out and rotate it 180 degrees and reinsert? That would kill 2 birds with one stone; moving the cup holders forward more and moving that button to the back.
I could be way off here, just excited to work these kinks out on my own and considering creative Solutions. Hence the name. Lol
Nice to see you use the mous case! Great brand
The seatbelt chime would push me to the point of psychosis. That is beyond annoying 😂
I like this edit, Shanks car reviews maybe ? Lol
Your face with the seatbelt ding problem.... epic.
Never been in love with a brz this much. I really want one.
Dude; 1st, love you review!!! 2nd, I'm a somewhat old dude with OCD! 🤣 Some great attention to detailed advancements came from OCD so be proud of it, unless you get mentally stock in a room for too long, lol!!!
I prefer the GR version of this car, but totally agree with you about all your quirks of this car, but still plan on getting one! Just wanna hold out hoping Yota-Baru will bring us a limited model turbo with about 30-50 more hp! I didn't get the previous model for that reason! And as I said, being somewhat older, and ODC, afraid of killing the warranty by boosting it myself!
But I enjoyed your vid, and enjoy your BRZ!
Thanks!!!!
Vary good advice
It is nice (in my opinion) where the usb is, so its not getting tangled on the shifter.
So you can actually go into your settings and adjust the chime volume if you would like. But it does chime on all the new subarus. Though as far as door opening and staying on I will have to look into it👍
When I first saw the car, I didn't like it because I thought it didn't live up to the first gen. But seeing this one in silver I gotta say I'm wowed by it.
Glad I just bought the new Camaro honestly. It was between this and that.
You can disable the seatbelt chime in all subarus. Turn key to on position>click seatbelt in and out 20 times in 10 seconds>shut car off. It may take a few times to get it because of how fast you need to go but it will for sure disable it.
“I do an ad”💀💀 haha that caught me off guard
Silver Color and how it's lowered on those wheels makes it look much better.
Great video…What size rims on your BRZ?..Looks great.
I can't wait for the Nissan Z to come out. It's one of the few new cars I have been excited for!
I always. Noticed brand new cars don't look that great and the refresh always looks incredibly better. Never knew this was a strategy!!
I just picked up a ‘23 GR86 and while you can always say it should be cheaper, market dictates price and these cars are sold out everywhere pretty much so I guess the price was right. A lot of your complains I also had though, particularly on the interior. But still worth the car, it’s amazing.
Amazing looking car, engine looks like it has a lot of headroom for tuning potential but that being said I’ll wait a couple years until they buff out the kinks
The seat belt chime thing is hilarious 🤣
It’s awesome you do your motivational talk at the end of every video Evan. Nobody else really does that and it’s nice. Thank you it helps out me in my daily life so I’m sure others also take it in. Anyways have a good day even enjoy it with your beautiful family :)
Evan the crate!!❤️
Random thought. If the suspension bolted up from the previous gen, then I’m thinking that possibly the brembos from the previous gen would possibly bolt up the hub/knuckle?
I've already ordered the car and I checked this to see if I made a mistake, thanks for the info.
I love the wheels by the way, they look perfect on the car.
I don't really know if there's a good way to do cup holders in a car of that width. My old legacy has one on the dash which is hard to reach and unstable, and one next to the handbrake which makes shifting difficult if your drink is too tall.
In terms of the price, it's unfair to compare it to a domestic car. In a non-USA market a mustang costs at least twice as much.
That GTI gonna be the best Christmas gift
0:35 "how I wanna phrase this is- what the dog doin" lmao
I have a 2006 forester xt and the Subaru seat chime starts even when the car is parked with the ebrake up, I’ll start my car to warm it up and you can hear the chime going with no one in the seats 😂
Honestly the seatbelt noise would be the best part because people don't know how to put a seatbeats on when they ride with me and it aggravates me but I just like well at least I ain't gone fly out the windshield.
Evan was like “ yo what da dog doin? 😳
You call them gripes but i don’t think you’re being picky. You paid for it you are allowed to complain. In my opinion it’s just show the flaws in the car stuff companies want to hide. Keep on grinding 🙏🏾
THANK YOU SIR 😇
Definitely good to hear though. Makes me glad I couldn’t cop at the drop. Hopefully I can take advantage of that brembo package when they release it.
As someone who works at a Subaru dealership, hearing that seatbelt sound is the most annoying part of my day 😂 every single car in the lineup does that.
I can’t wait to hear it after the exhaust
Best Content ever
that gti in the corner
that is awsome
At last some honesty !
Honestly, this is the first video I've seen where someone actually gets into the detail. A lot of other creators completely overlooked those annoyances, especially with the interior. It's enough to make me seriously consider not buying the car. What a bad design for the armrest, cup holders, USB locations, and no spot for your phone!
The spats are there to compensate for tire poke so they could sell it with a wide body look while still following rules
For the seatbelt thing, put your car key on the on position, then you want to put your seatbelt on and off 30 times in 30 seconds and itll shut it off until you unplug the battery again
This new brz has grown on me so much im excited to see what changes with the kouki model
How long time after the original model does the kouki usually come? I was planning on buying the gr86 but now i don't know if I should wait for the kouki
@@oggan97 honestly idek when or if kouki model would come out and wether or not u should wait to buy or just get the zenki model and customize it from there
@@trurazzledazzle I'm really into cars but i never herd about the term "kouki" (maybe we use a different term for that here in Sweden) but is kouki like the equivalant of a facelift model?
@@oggan97 yeah pretty much
@@oggan97 idk if seaech results would be the same but kouki and zenki s14 are good examples
There is a way to turn off the seatbelt ding. You gotta start the car on and off 3 times. Put the car to accessories mode step on the brake 11 times then push the gas pedal to the floor 3 times then turn on and right back off. Wait 3seconds then turn it on and give it a try. If it doesn’t work the first time then repeat the steps
S3, Golf R, GTI, Ford Rs, Mustang, m235i, old Vette.. the list goes on
honestly the cupholder thing is hilarious
At first I didn’t like the front end but after you lowered and put on some rimps the look grew on me
I actually love the way the front and back look and wish they could of done a better job with the new wrx coming out 😞 the wrx seems like they didn’t give much thought to making it….
Im waiting for my Sapphire Blue in November. Ordered the Premium . I'll likely end up getting gripper tires and better suspension. Nothing else unless deemed necessary.
A fall asleep and can still hear the bell dinging from the garage.
i'm curious to know what you would get instead of a supra? great video and good points!
What's your input in the Willwood brake setup, is it worth to make a comparison to the Brembo kits?
Hey, Evan, I'm an auto body technician and I know you've always called them rear fenders, but they are called quarter panels. Sorry to nitpick but I go crazy hearing that 😂
Theres a way to turn the seatbelt chime off, you have to put the car into auxiliary mode (push the push button start twice) and then clip and unclip the seatbelt 20 times. It should turn it off.
That’s crazy I just had the issue with CarPlay today 😂 now I know what to do
Plus the beeping stays like that when you leave your cars lights on but when you close it , it stops but when you open that door the beeping starts 😭
It's not just you I agree with everything you say, no storage inside sucks
My WRX does the same thing with the seat belt chime. You can’t get out of your car and leave it running without the chime going insane 😂
A good idea is to find out whether the 2020 Toyota Supra rotor and disc brake conversion is compatible with the 86 BRZ because I'm pretty sure that would give you more development for improvement it's like I've seen a whole heap of people put skyline rotors and calipers on the Nissan Silvias
That’s Nissan to Nissan though. You’re talking BMW to Subaru.
Would be cool.
7:33 I don't like the start up animation compared to the GR86. One complaint that I have for the premium interior of the GR86 is that the JDM models have red stitching and accents while the US models have silver. I'm definitely swapping out of the transmission trim and other pieces to Alcantara with red stitching but the seats aren't really swappable unless I go to bucket seats and I don't really want to swap them right after taking ownership of it in 6 months.
They just added the Brembo package this week, at least for Canada. Was messing around on the builder this week and last, and last week it wasn't there but now it is. Good to know I will need the brake package, because I'm looking between a 2022 BRZ, a 2021 WRX (cause the new one is ugly), and a Q50/60, depending on the deals.
Personally like the front but not really the rear end. Also i dont think they should come with turbos from the factory cause i look at it as a blank canvas. Add a turbo and thats not really the case
ej sound so good doe
I appreciate the dog joke at the beginning
I just got the 2023 brz limited ( it’s the top of the line) in November. My biggest complaint is the turn signal switch idk why they made it to where it doesn’t stay down and sometimes it doesn’t cut off after you turn 🤣 I got mine for 33 k and with interest and warranty it’s 35k I just turned 21 . I love it so far though , I’m trying to find some wheels though any recommendations?
I know how to fix your seatbelt issue!! Turn the engine on. Hold you seatbelt button and insert your seatbelt 20 times in under 30 seconds. The sound should come off only for the driver seatbelt.
I’m sure of it. I think your car is getting ready for the Christmas spirit jingle bells is what it sounds like lol
16:55 HAD ME LAUGHING LOVE YOU EVAN
I’m 6’4 & I want this car so bad. Going to feel like a giant in this thing 😂
What new coupe can you get that's better than the BRZ at this price point? 36k isn't a lot these days and the BRZ offers a lot at this entry level. Just curious ty
