"Hi, I'm racing driver Kota Sasaki
Want to do impression on everyone waited
for BRZ
It's a coupe so door is made solid
Steering wheel can go backward
and forward. Also up and down.
Fitness of the seat is very nice. It holds it
well
Don't feel squished. Don't have the "Compact Car" feel, but has solid
driving feel to it.
It has high sight view. Hood have been lower, so I can
see the front really well.
Ground feels so close. It has the feeling of
racing car that gets me hyped
First impression when start driving is the push
of the engine. Response is great. It doesn't feel like 2 liter NA engine
response to it.
Usually it has the image of the inner side tire get lifted
when you're in the corner. But this car's outer side drop, so don't have any
uneasiness.
In this corner, tire stay on the road. Even after that corner
and don't have any uneasiness.
For personal thing, I really like how thick
the steering wheel is. It's really easy to grab, so don't need to put
unnecessary strength and easy to drive.
Going to pace up lil bit
I drive
the GT car of this car, but it's really stable. While you're turning and braking
is really hard, but the car doesn't lift at all and it's really stable.
Steering feed is really great.
Let's turn off the VSC system
Let's
move it around lil bit
Ah~ it's great!
I turned off the VSC, but the limit
of this car is extremely high
Doesn't slip at all and it's really stable (he
meant as unexpected slips)
This traction really have sense of
stability
Bucket seat style seat is really nice. Even you lean on it, it
doesn't have any uneasiness. Don't feel any G to it.
Enjoy how compact it
turns
Really enjoy this push/power
Also this car is really light. Response
really sharp. Response of the engine and the chassis match really well. Don't
have any weight of the car.
This is really fun
Steering wheel response
quickly
Do love the shifting feeling. You can really feel the shifting and
short shift
Man, this is getting really fun
Some of you wanted to know
"How it feel to run in the circuit?", but this car made well
This BRZ's gear
ratio, engine response, & chassis you can take on any corner. Even with
tight corner and worry if engine have enough power to push it through, it'll
push it through. Even with slowing down corner engine respond to it and follow
through with it. Or like S turn corners, rigidity of the chassis and steering
wheel respond will cover it through. It could go to any circuit and run
great
I really like this car. I wanna run Nur w this car.
Man~~~ this is
great! It's really fun!
Greatness of Boxer engine. This car bring out the
boxer engine's greatness to the maximum
Boxer engine started out with low CoG
plus low height sports car... but drop more CoG, so that greatness is really
showing
It has the feeling of AWD. It has the stability of AWD"
