Chapter 633 Subaru BRZ ([-])

Chapter 623: Subaru BRZ ([-])

"This is the 2015 2.0i manual version. Let's look at the 2017 2.0i automatic type-RS version next to it." Fang Yuan motioned everyone to look at another blue Subaru BRZ next to it.

Zhang Chen also got out of the car, everyone walked around together, Du Xiao said: "There is not much difference in appearance."

Zhang Chen also raised his doubts: "Why is it blue again, is there no other color?"

"The most valuable color for BRZ is rally blue. Unless you're not short on money, it's best to go with the crowd and choose the classic color for posters and advertisements." Fang Yuan first walked to the front of the car to let everyone see the wind blades on both sides, and then pointed to the rear. "The appearance of the 2015 and 2017 models is indeed not much different, the most notable differences are the LED headlights, the shape of the front wind blade, and the original rear spoiler unique to the 2017 TYPE-RS model.

This original rear wing is low, small, delicate, and not illegal. Its aerodynamic improvement is far less intense than the visually competitive atmosphere, and it has become the biggest highlight of the car's appearance. "

"The addition of this rear wing is indeed more beautiful, and it feels very burning." Zhang Chen walked to the rear of the car and stroked it with his fingers, "Isn't it carbon fiber?"

"Of course not, how much is the carbon fiber rear spoiler?" Fang Yuan thinks that with the stingy personality of Japanese cars, a car with this price can be equipped with a carbon fiber rear spoiler unless the sun comes out from the west.

Fang Yuan came to the side of the main driver's door and opened the door: "Everyone, look at its interior."

Everyone looked down at the inside of the car, sized their mouths together, and felt that the interior of this 2017 BRZ was also not related to technology and luxury: old-fashioned instrument panel, retro radio, no central armrest, no central control Screen... bad reviews.

At any rate, the steering wheel has been replaced with a leather multifunctional one, and the air conditioner has also been replaced with a dual-zone automatic air conditioner, because it is an AT gearbox and even has silver shift paddles. There are buttons to select sports mode, snow mode, and track mode. , which surprised Zhang Chen a little.

Zhang Chen touched the door trim and the instrument panel, etc. They were no longer hard plastics, especially the door trim was soft and changed to a soft material. The stitches were uniform and fine, and it looked okay. .

The seat of this BRZ has a lower sitting posture, and it is not made of woven fabric. It is replaced by Alcantara, and the darker color finally looks a little higher.

In addition to the overall thinness of the seat, the side wings on both sides are also tall and thick. You don't need to try it to know that the wrapping is good, but the original owner does not have a four-point seat belt.

Zhang Chen lamented that this society is really a bad age, and the general who is lame can only be said to be good: "How much is this car?"

"This 2017 2.0i automatic type-RS version of the Subaru BRZ was registered in September 2017, with a real watch of 9 yuan. It landed at 2 yuan that year, and now our car dealership is listed at 30.81 yuan."

"The appearance is better than that car, the car is older than that car, the mileage is less than that car, the interior is better than that car, and it is cheaper than that car. What do I want this car?" It is a normal price, I am a little excited, I feel that this BRZ is quite good.

As the saying goes, a long illness can cure a doctor. Zhang Chen has experienced his own modification of Reiz, Mr. Du’s pickup modification, and he has a little understanding of modification. He thinks that a large central control screen should be added, the garbage stereo should be replaced, and a new one should be added. Ambient lights, combined with a beautiful appearance, parked on the road casually, and then open the frameless door, will definitely attract the attention of young ladies.

"This car is an automatic transmission. It doesn't mean that it can't run laps. It's more suitable than the manual transmission." Fang Yuan thought that if Zhang Chen drove it as a coquettish sports car, the one in front of him would be more suitable. The BRZ with automatic transmission is easy to drive in the city. It has individuality, is strong enough, and is unique enough. It is also quite suitable without modification.

Of course, if you install a great central control screen and reversing image, it will definitely be the icing on the cake.

If you want to go to the track, it is recommended to buy the more expensive manual transmission,
Because the essence of a small sports car like BRZ is not a delicate rear spoiler, a sufficiently streamlined appearance, frameless doors, single exhaust on both sides, and the most valuable one is the manual transmission.

The manual transmission has simple structure, reliable performance, low cost of use and maintenance, and high transmission efficiency.

The six-speed manual gearbox of the 2015 BRZ is purely mechanically controlled, so the shifting response is fast, the gears are clean and neat, without frustration and hysteresis, and you can feel the tightness of the gears at the moment of cut-in, with an obvious sense of suction It can delight the body and mind, and the comfort similar to the magnetic field can make people want to stop, just like the instant satisfaction of a bottle of ice water after running a marathon in the hot summer, just like talking about life ideals with a beloved girl in a secluded grove. .

The most important thing is that when the toes lightly touch the accelerator pedal and the palm rests on the top of the gear handle, I want it to be as fast as I want. I want it to be free-wheeling and controllable in a few gears, so that I can express myself more directly. Therefore, it is more fun to drive and more suitable for extreme driving.

Secondly, the manual transmission is generally cheaper than the automatic transmission. Take this 2015 model as an example. At the manufacturer’s guide price back then, the automatic transmission was [-] more expensive than the manual transmission. When selling used cars, the price is reversed. Manual than automatic preservation.

Also, although the BRZ is a self-priming car, it is not as thick and thin as other Japanese cars. It must add 95 gasoline. For some car owners who care about the cost of the car, it will cost more. Fortunately, the fuel consumption of the manual transmission Low, the average fuel consumption is around 8.

One factor that makes driving fun is that the steering wheel of the BRZ is relatively heavy. Like BMW, it takes a lot of strength to drive it. This is also one of the reasons why most BRZ owners are men.

But the pointing is accurate, and the feel feedback is a bit sticky. It is very similar to the Reiz that Zhang Chen just bought. It is easy to drive in daily driving and easy to control on the track. It is very suitable for novices.

Another reason for the driving pleasure is its boxer, high-revving self-priming 2.0-liter FA20 engine.

Because it is the same boxer engine as Porsche,
This FA20 naturally aspirated engine is small in size and has a low center of gravity.

The engine is small in size and does not stand up like a mountain, so the height of the vehicle body can be reduced and made as flat as possible.

The body is low, the center of gravity of the chassis is ultra-low, and the suspension support is very good. As long as you are brave enough and have good skills in some ordinary corners, don’t give fuel randomly, even if you don’t brake to slow down, you won’t reach its cornering limit. You can firmly grasp the ground without losing control, and you can enter and exit the corner smoothly. bend.

Therefore, the original chassis of BRZ is already perfect. As long as you don’t participate in competitions or have high requirements for corners, you don’t need to modify it. Car owners can’t reach the limit of the original factory when driving. If the chassis is adjusted randomly, it will be difficult to return to the perfect state of the original factory. This is one reason why plain cars are more valuable when buying a second-hand BRZ.

Because it is the same boxer engine as Porsche,
This FA20 naturally aspirated engine has a maximum horsepower of 200, a maximum power of 147, a maximum power speed of 7000, a maximum speed of 226, and an acceleration of 7.6-[-] kilometers in [-] seconds.

This data is not very amazing, the power can only be said to be okay, and those fake steel guns and ordinary family cars are okay to abuse.

Those powerful small steel cannons and BRZ can accelerate faster than zero. They simply don’t talk about martial arts. If they have the ability to do two tricks on the track, the excellent control of BRZ will let them know why Hua’er is like this.

After all, speed is not the advantage of BRZ. What BRZ is proud of is that it is easy to drive, fun and full of driving pleasure.

Because it is the same boxer engine as Porsche,
This FA20 naturally aspirated engine is difficult to repair, resulting in expensive working hours and materials. It is said that the engine has to be lifted out to replace the spark plug.

A roadside shop dares to repair EA888, try replacing it with this horizontally opposed engine?If you dare, he doesn't dare either.

Because it is the same boxer engine as Porsche,
The biggest problem with this FA20 naturally aspirated engine is the oil temperature. Installing an independent external oil cooler has created some safety hazards, such as oil leakage and fire after being hit.

Later, the manufacturer released an original oil radiator, you can buy one and install it.

Whenever everyone mentions Subaru, in addition to horizontally opposed engines and full-time four-wheel drive, there is one more troublesome problem in all its models, which is burning oil.

BRZ is a front-rear drive. Its FA series engine is jointly developed with Toyota. It is different from the Forester’s FB series engine. Although it burns a little oil, it is already much better. Pay more attention to oil products and don’t buy fake engine oil. That's fine.

"So, this 2015 Subaru BRZ with manual transmission, in addition to abnormal noise, noise, low configuration, and small space, is still durable, worry-free and fuel-efficient." Fang Yuan finally made a conclusion, choosing the 2015 manual transmission is still The automatic transmission of the 2017 model depends on Zhang Chen's purpose of buying a car. After all, the one that suits him is the best.

"I'd rather choose the manual one." After listening to Fang Yuan's introduction carefully, Zhang Chen had a comprehensive understanding of the two BRZs from performance to common problems.

Zhang Chen wants the configuration of the 2017 model, but also wants the performance of the 2015 model. Finally, after thinking about it, the track gene flowing in the man's blood makes him look forward to one day being able to drive by himself after cheating his girlfriend. Take your own car, go to the race track, play to your heart's content, and there will be no regrets in life.

"But the configuration of this 2015 model is too low, and the interior is too simple." Zhang Chen thinks that the configuration can be changed, and the central control can be added. Wouldn't it be good to directly change it to two seats angrily?

"Yes, it's two doors and four seats. The two seats in the back are the same as none." Du Xiao and others also thought that young people like Zhang Chen can enjoy the world of two when they are dating now, but what about in the future?Besides, it's impossible for two people to go out together. Could it be that they will change cars later?
"There is really no way to do this." Fang Yuan spread his hands helplessly. The space in the rear of the BRZ is really not good. Although the seats can be folded down as a whole, and there are seat belts and child seat interfaces, they don't even have independent headrests. The leg room in the first row is very small. Since it is a rear-drive car, there is a very large bulge between the rear seats. Not to mention that adults of normal height cannot stretch their feet or lift their heads when they sit in it. The restrained appearance is like being in a prison. Yes, children in their teens are aggrieved now.

In fact, this kind of seat was not intended to be seated at the beginning of the design. Fang Yuan explained to everyone that the reason why this kind of car is designed as a four-seater in foreign countries is because the insurance premium of a two-seater sports car is too high. The premium can be lowered by platooning. After the production in China, Subaru lazy modified the design and copied it as it is.

Therefore, some car owners will remove the two rear seats after buying a car and use it as a place to store the spare tire. After all, drifting off the track is very expensive.

"Remove the two rear seats, and the traffic police will check?" Zhang Chen thought it was a good idea, but felt too reconciled.

"It depends on the actual situation in the local area. Anyway, our big city will check." Fang Yuan also knows that space is the Achilles heel of BRZ, but its positioning is a fun, easy-to-drive two-door sports car, not an MPV or SUV that can be loaded and pulled. Or the crock pot, because of the price, this car can’t be compared with a professional sports car like GT3RS. If you want to participate in the competition, it is best to carry out professional modification, so it is a small car that allows us to experience the control and enjoy the fun of indulgence. Sports car, a small car that fulfills the dream of countless men, don't be too demanding on it.

Fang Yuan knew what Zhang Chen was thinking, and suddenly said to him, "Why don't I recommend you a small car that can take care of your home and is also suitable for beginners to experience the control?"

"Huh? Is there?" Not only Zhang Chen was interested, but others were also curious about what car Fang Yuan recommended.

"Yes, I recommend this car to you. It looks handsome and beautiful, especially the new original **** dual exhaust outlets are very cool. It looks like a Type R..."

"Like a Honda Type R? Interesting." Of course Zhang Chen knew about the Type R, and his little brain was running extremely fast, wondering which car resembled the Type R.

"This car is not only handsome and beautiful, but also has more space than the BRZ, and the rear row will not just sit with dogs. It has a high value retention rate, a very stable price, few minor problems, fuel-efficient and durable, and low fuel consumption. 8 kilometers There are more than 7 points, and about [-] points are opened leisurely."

"It handles well, the clutch is light, the engagement point is wide, the gears are crisp, the travel is short and the feel is great."

"It has a slightly stronger power at the same level, the engine has the potential to be modified, and there are many modified parts. It is very comfortable for daily driving, has a story, and has feelings. It can be called an online celebrity car of the same level."

……

As Fang Yuan talked about its advantages, Zhang Chen's little heart was tickled, and he really wanted to know what model Fang Yuan recommended.

"Fang Yuan, stop beating around the bush, tell me what kind of car it is." Du Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, and urged Fang Yuan to speak out quickly.

"I recommend the latest 1.5T manual hatchback Civic to Zhang Chen." Fang Yuan revealed the answer, "But we don't have this car, and I saw one on the road."

"The latest 1.5T hatchback Civic?" Zhang Chen repeated Fang Yuan's words. He knew that Fang Yuan would not deceive himself. Maybe this car is not suitable for others, but it is very suitable for him.

"Yes." Fang Yuan reconfirmed that he recommended the latest hatchback Civic.

"Is its control better than the BRZ?" Zhang Chen was actually a little reluctant to part with the manual transmission BRZ.

"In the original state, its handling is not as good as BRZ." Fang Yuan said, the latest 1.5T hatchback Civic, its original brakes are soft, the original shock absorbers are soft, and cannot hold back the body roll, and the original tires No, you have to change on the track.

Because the original car is not equipped with LSD, the cornering speed is not fast, and it is a bit pushy, but it hardly drifts, and it is easy to get started, especially suitable for novices.

Acceleration from 9 kilometers in [-] seconds, slower than the sedan Civic, slower than the BRZ, because it is a turbocharged model, it looks fast on the street, but it has no advantage on the track.

The most disturbing thing is that the price is not cheap. The price of a bare car seems to be 15.98. There is no discount, plus purchase tax, delivery fee, settlement fee, insurance, and 4S stores will impose some decorations. The new car will definitely be 18 Wan Da, how awkward it is to buy a small hatchback at this price.

After all, there are a lot of excellent domestic cars to choose from at this price. You can also buy Audi A3, BMW 1 Series, and Mercedes-Benz A-Class for a little more money.

Anyway, in Fang Yuan’s opinion, if you have to compare performance with BRZ, both are in the original factory state, or both are completely modified, and under the premise of realizing their huge potential, the new 1.5T hatchback Civic is not as good as the horizontally opposed engine, plus rear drive The BRZ.

The reason why Fang Yuan recommended the latest 1.5T hatchback Civic to Zhang Chen is that its space can meet Zhang Chen’s requirements, and the suspension, tires, and braking system can be changed to play on the track.

"Isn't there a car that combines sports and family use?" Zhang Chen was not reconciled.

"The most important thing for you now is to get your girlfriend. Why are you always thinking about going on the track?" Du Xiao was a little speechless to Zhang Chen, and he turned his head to ask Fang Yuan, "Do you have more motivation and more space? Face-saving, durable and worry-free?"

"Yes, but it's a bit niche, and the controls are beaten by Subaru BRZ and Civic." In fact, Fang Yuan wanted to recommend the V6 Infiniti G37 to Zhang Chen the most. It's just that there are too few sources of this model, and the quality of the car is high-quality. In the end, I recommend the Infiniti Q6L with the same V70.
"Ah, so bad?" Zhang Chen protested very simply, "I don't want it."
