I sat in a BRZ at the dealership a couple weeks ago. I'm about 6ft tall. I thought the car was a bit too tight. And why build a sport coupe with so little hp? They should have left the rear seat...

Yes, my 2011 2.5i CVT does that too after backing out of my driveway. I live on a hill and get a momentary shudder just before the car moves forward. It doesn't happen every time, but frequently. ...

The Subaru AWD system can't be damaged by 3/32 difference in tread depth. Granted you can't put one fifteen inch tire on with three sixteens, but 3/32 is nothing. I've got no complaint with buying...

Anyone who says putting one new 10/32 tire on an AWD car with three 7/32 tires will cause issues is full of sh!t. Subaru included. You can get more than 3/32 from tire pressure variation alone -...
