Doesn't sound very bad to me....

Edit: It sounds weak and not that good, but I wouldn't go calling it a POS for a weak exhaust sound... Look at the Camaro v6 exhaust..

It's funny because I think the V6 Camaro has one of the worst exhaust notes stock for a V6 engine and it always seems over done with aftermarket because a lot of people go too loud....

I don't mind how the Toyota sounds though which is super weird cause I generally dislike the sound of lawnmower engines.....

It's hard to make a V6 sound as good as a V8 but it's easy to make an I4 sound as good as a V6 weird how it works......

I highly respect this car. It's great value for the price and will finally get ricers out of their silly Civics and into a real sports car. But, it still sounds like shite.

I wouldn't be so fast to judge. Sure the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger may be fast in a straight line but all come at a price; the fr-s/brz is not made to compete with these cars, it's made to be affordable and well balanced and not about horsepower. More or less it's more AE86-ish than Supra.

I guess im in the minority. I will acknowledge that this is the "nicest" rice burner to come along in a long while but for me personally if I want a "sports car" im going American with Mustang, camaro, challenger, etc.

I have no problem with people who drive Subaru's or whatever for daily drivers, but sports cars? Nope, always buy American.

*Mindz* · 03-27-2012, 06:40 PM

affordable, rear wheel drive, manual transmission, cheap tires to replace?

I'd love me one as a daily driver. If only the cobalt was RWD...

Welcome back the evolution of the Hachi Roku (if it can live up to the ancestry.

considering its a 4 cylinder... not that bad. what makes it a POS? because it doesnt have the roar of the 6.2. This is a 2.0 engine, of course its not gonna roar!

It's all good, everyone has their own tastes.

I'd get one as a secondary. Looks and sounds ok to me.

If if if, big if. I were ever to drive one of these it would be the Subaru version. That thing would probably be a fun drive because of being AWD.

Lol wut? The Brz is rwd, not awd.

motorhead · 03-27-2012, 08:34 PM

Sounds as good as any other V-6. Not a fan of the looks though.

camaro-dreamer · 03-27-2012, 08:44 PM

It sounds pretty good after being turbocharged.
