It’s great to see you incorporate your family into these reviews because some of us do have families and I like to see how booster seats fit in these cars.
Need more reviewers to do special reviews like this Some of us have families Some of us have different commutes Lots of us have different lifestyles Videos like this help out a ton
My daughter has been everywhere with me in one of these since she was 3. I could fit a mountain buggy in the boot too. She’s older now but still loves going driving together.
@@alamos8 yep still do, except nowadays she either sits cross legged in the rear (if the front passenger seat is occupied), or sits up front next to me.
I like seeing how the back seat can be functional for kids in a front facing search. I actually asked a few dealers near me about these this weekend and they are all spoken for and Subaru is not taking any more orders right now. I also called my local Toyota dealer and they said the wait list is a year right now.
Love Alien headbands should be mandatory on public roads :) They would fix road rage. Little Sweetie's C8 review was amazing! Love the BRZ. Good for Subaru for making the investment in a shrinking segment.
@@MicahMuzio Liked your previous work before but love the independent work your doing now. Congrats and I wish you great success. VTEC for life brother
I picked up my 22BRZ about a month ago. I agree with everything in the review. I have owned manual cars exclusively for 20+ years and the BRZ os just tricky to be smooth with. I actually just ordered a replacement clutch spring that is supposed to make the pedal slightly heavier but add more feel. Hopefully it smooths it out. I have the loaded limited model. I like the interior, bigger wheels, better tires, steering responsive headlights and better sound system. Its well worth the cost of the upgrade.
@@DFPFTW I can’t even get one to test drive here in the philly area. The mark up will go away before long. This is simply the 2nd version, they’ll sell this for years
An SD card reader for music is much nicer than a CD player or aux. Then I can just keep a ton of music in the car at all times, without connecting my phone and manually starting music.
I am glad you started your own channel and including your family is awesome. I am looking to buy a GR86 and i have a kid as well. I think you pretty much answer my questions... Thank Muzio family
Nice review. I owned a '13...I believe that was the 1st year. It did have some serious quality issues but it was a fun car and I loved it. I didn't have it too long but I long to own another one one day. Perhaps once this newer version gets a little more mature, I'll buy another one. Great cars, driver's cars.
As a former 2013 FR-S owner, it seems Toyobaru improved everything that needed attention. Solid car. I owned an ND2 Miata as well and it just didn’t speak to me like the FR-S. I wonder if waiting for the Supra manual is worth the extra coin.
I would say it is worth waiting if you only want a 2 door coupe and not a REAL Supra. When I drove one it felt more like a BMW and nothing like a Toyota
@@fj60driver - exactly. It’s simply a Toyota wrapper on a z4. I owned a 2013 brz and now own a 2017. Once I can drive one (and verify that they didn’t ruin anything while they were fixing things), I’ll likely buy one. Not really a fan of the Supra’s design and an automatic is a non starter for me
@@chrisx5127 I’ve now owned them all. FR-S, Supra A91 manual, ND2 Miata. The Supra was the best of them all by a significant margin. Engaging, fast, beautiful, and surprisingly rare. All were fun, but the Supra is definitely on a different level.
dang! thanks for doing this video content, I was planning to buy one and use it for daily drive and driving with my wife and a 5 yrs old son and 2 yrs old daughter with it....
I myself (1.72 m) fit in the resr opposite seat of a 2017 GT86 with another 1.72 m guy in front of me (seat displaced, but no weird seating for the front guy, not touching knees on glovebox). The only thing, is that GR86 glovebox is sticking out way more than the GT86 one, with that strange design, and that may compromise how much you can displace the seat without knees touching, compared with the old car. Someone pointed out to this in another video...
I feel like Subaru has a bunch of old Honda taillights in stock, because the back end of the BRZ reminds me of a '16 Honda Accord Coupe, and the WRX looks like a '12 Civic from behind. Can't unsee now.
...omg. It is a taillight styling trend. Many Japanese brands (toyota, nissan too) as well as other makes use the claw/c light design. Volvo uses the claw design too (they might have started it) . It emphasizes width and provides an elegant style. If you notice, light designs follow trends like other styling cues. And if it is successful for one brand, it quickly makes its way to other brands. It is not a Honda-only thing...even Honda emulates the hockey stick lights found on Volvo wagons and SUVs on their CR-V...
I do, because the 2014 Nissan Murano does not have Bluetooth Audio Streaming, except on the Top Trim. And I have an Bluetooth adapter plugged into the Aux Port.
I actually do use aux in and a CD player regularly. My car is 8 and a half, but I’d still love to have both on a new car. Really like the BRZ and 86, so hopefully they’ll be in the mix whenever I replace my car. Thanks for a normal, non-track review!
I would just fold down the rear seats all the time and install a custom interior matching carpeted plywood board to separate the trunk area. I'm used to having only two seats in sports cars anyways...
Yes to the aux input. I just bought a new stereo head unit for my car and I insisted it had an aux input. Bluetooth is so unreliable. I've arrived at my destination many times before my phone synced with the car. Aux cable is infallible. Plus it's easy do have a passenger start playing stuff from their phone.
YES! Since you asked for a response, I do use an auxiliary input in my 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth. I've got my old school iPod plugged into it and it gives me a nice alternative to to AM/FM/Sirius. I also occasionally use my CD player in that car. My 2021 Kia Telluride has neither an auxiliary input nor a CD player. I mean, how difficult is it to add an auxiliary input!?
I'm happy to see the Aux jack in BRZ. I wish more cars had it. I still use my Zune HD and iPod Touch to listen to my purchased and downloaded music. For those who don't know what downloaded music is, I have to say, it's a form of listening to music that doesn't need streaming, so when you own it, you really own it. You don't need to pay 10$ (x as many streaming services one may have) month for the rest of your life to listen to your favorite songs
Awesome. To bad the rest of us are now deprived of this opportunity. Kudos to those who received theirs, but for those who haven't ordered or missed all new allocations, luck has run out... 🍀
Not sure if it's technically competition... it kind of is...? but I went with a 21 V6 Camaro. I couldn't wait 4 more months to get a BRZ... but I did want one.
Tip for getting in and out of cars that are tough to get in and out of: move the seat all the way back first, then adjust to your position again when you're ready to drive. You're welcome.
Are you not doing reviews with Kelly blue book anymore? Or is this just a side project? Sorry just bumped into this researching and was surprised to find you here lol
I was surprised the booster seat fit in the back! I am curious how the shifter in the manual Crosstrek compares to the BRZ or WRX. Yes, I know they are for different purposes, but it would be interesting since they come from Subaru. After watching your review, I can scratch this off my list of cars to get that would fit my growing boys. Your family's review is so applicable to all of us!
Excellent review! My car is arriving the dealership this week and I also have a daughter to fit in the back seats, may I ask what make and model is the one you used in the video please?
Since we are close to the windowless white van review is there a specific van you are reviewing? Or will this be the first family comparison review? Express vs Transit vs ProMaster vs NV vs Sprinter? Transit Connect vs ProMaster City vs Metris?
Definitely not. It almost does not fit a rear faving in a VW Scirocco (I have a Scirocco) and this is basically like a Golf 5/6 inside although lower. The front seat has to be waaay forward. I use a front facing child seat (and I prefer them also for security. I'm confident enought I would not drive into anything hard, but I'm not confident at all others don't drive hard into my rear)
haha what's the point of hill assist if it releases before you engage the clutch? I mean sure it releases before the engagement, but what Michah describes seems to be way to early for it. Maybe I'm wrong!
I'm 2 weeks and 300 miles into my '23 BRZ Limited 6AT (WR Blue also) experience. I'm struggling to like it as much as everyone else does. It's so small and has no power. My last 5 cars were BMW turbo I-6s and I'm not used to this little NA boxer 4. I do have to admit it is the BEST handling car I've ever driven - it turns instantly with no fuss. Hopefully, it will hold it's retail value when I move onto the next fun car.
Jokes aside how tall was your daughter in this video? And how much head clearance did she have in that seat? Looks like a lot. If I could get a child into this car until about age 4-ish that would be more than enough
the video all dads have been waiting for
YESS
Searching this to my wife.... From mexico

So true. Gotta convince the lady it's a family car nahmean?? 😁
Yes I agree! I want to see how I can get the family involved in a nice car

Wife: you can’t get a GR86. A seat won’t fit!
Dads everywhere: *shows video*
A love these reviews. They have so much chemistry. It’s a joy to watch.
Yes a positive rate of climb is always appreciated. I like the look of the GR86 better tho. Impressive how well this thing can handle a car seat.
My daughter has been everywhere with me in one of these since she was 3. I could fit a mountain buggy in the boot too. She’s older now but still loves going driving together.
How old is she now? Can she go in the the rear at 7 or 8 years old? Below the codriver of course
@@alamos8 yep still do, except nowadays she either sits cross legged in the rear (if the front passenger seat is occupied), or sits up front next to me.

I was able to order one 2 days ago ! try now!
I thought it was funny Micah tried to fit in the back seat. I can't see myself having one of these and some 6 foot guy sitting in the backseat. 😂

5k more subs to that windowless white van! Can’t wait to see which model it is, and if it’s abduction friendly.

Finally a good review that see is the car can "family" it. keep up the good work Micah!
Thank you, Stephen!
I saw this car in person and I have to admit it does looks GREAT ! I have 2017 Toyota 86
Thumbs up for the family interaction.

Was that a subtle flex that you own a helicopter O_O
Yes! I like an Aux input on a car radio. Bluetooth sounds like crap...along with the MP3 files it's meant to be used with.
The styling inside and out is well executed. A cute boy racer. However, Hamy is much cuter 💗 ✋😀
Nice review. How many years does the baby fit in the back?

There's a poetry to your comment, Blair. Hi5!
That little Kid (Your daughter) is a Great reviewer.Yes the Aux in is good for my SonyWalkman

Being unaccustomed to driving manual isn’t an apt criticism of manual
Are you not doing reviews with Kelly blue book anymore? Or is this just a side project? Sorry just bumped into this researching and was surprised to find you here lol
There is no way I could seriously put the word “family” in association with this car!
Looking forward when you guys review the new WRX!
Yup. I use an aux in my Miata lol the sound is better quality than just Bluetooth I feel
The look of it will age well
LoL learning to drift in an S2k. That ain't easy.

Why is there no manual in Outback?
I like the aux input, as Subaru’s USB media option will only play out of the driver’s side front speaker in all MY2020+ models I’ve tried.
Yes it would have plenty of room in back seat for my Yorkies. They would fit perfectly back there with room to spare.
Great review.
When will you do a Bronco update?
I alternate between the AUX-In and the CD player in my 2011 . . . and will miss them, as I am not a fancy phone or music player guy.
Excellent review! My car is arriving the dealership this week and I also have a daughter to fit in the back seats, may I ask what make and model is the one you used in the video please?
I'd love to see a family review of a 230i
Hey Micah. Great video! How's the sound system on the BRZ?
I never use an AUX in. I never use a CD player either but my 2021 Crosstrek has them both haha.

I still like having a cd player in my 07 Jeep
Not fairing well in the armrest test is a disappointment for me. That is a level of comfort that I look for in every car I get in…
HALLO!! What about BMW 220 COUPE?? I think is more practical, better looking family coupe car!!!
Do you think it would fit a rear facing seat?
Definitely not. It almost does not fit a rear faving in a VW Scirocco (I have a Scirocco) and this is basically like a Golf 5/6 inside although lower. The front seat has to be waaay forward. I use a front facing child seat (and I prefer them also for security. I'm confident enought I would not drive into anything hard, but I'm not confident at all others don't drive hard into my rear)
I'm here for the child seat but I fear by the time I take the delivery of this car my daughter can legally sit in the front passenger seat.
I took the passenger seat out for my kids to get in easier and I can fit a 60qt cooler in the passenger side when we go camping
haha what's the point of hill assist if it releases before you engage the clutch? I mean sure it releases before the engagement, but what Michah describes seems to be way to early for it. Maybe I'm wrong!
I use an aux in all the time.
@michahMuzio
Can you please share how tall are all of you ?
I'm 2 weeks and 300 miles into my '23 BRZ Limited 6AT (WR Blue also) experience. I'm struggling to like it as much as everyone else does. It's so small and has no power. My last 5 cars were BMW turbo I-6s and I'm not used to this little NA boxer 4. I do have to admit it is the BEST handling car I've ever driven - it turns instantly with no fuss. Hopefully, it will hold it's retail value when I move onto the next fun car.
Up your HP by another 100 because if I'm driving a sport car I would definitely prefer 300 plus or 400 HP.
But this is for a family with a kid in the back...
