In this episode, TheStraightPipes take on the 2024 Subaru BRZ TS, a car that promises more than just raw speed. Tuned by STI, this beast boasts a 2.4L 4-cylinder boxer engine churning out 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. While it may not break land speed records, the TS focuses on enhancing handling prowess, featuring STI badges, gold Brembo brakes, and unique interior touches like blue stitching. The hosts delve into the TS's grip-enhancing summer performance tires, specifically the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02, and the custom suspension setup that elevates the driving experience to a whole new level.
Behind the wheel, the TS offers a comfortable ride, but the increased grip may sacrifice some of the playful nature that enthusiasts crave. The manual transmission shines, providing a notchy, engaging feel that adds to the overall fun factor of the driving experience. The hosts appreciate the inclusion of a manual handbrake and the well-designed interior, complete with a user-friendly infotainment system featuring wired CarPlay. While the sound system may leave something to be desired, the practicality and driving dynamics of the BRZ TS make it a compelling choice for those seeking a balance of performance and usability.
The TS's Torsen LSD and traction control features add a layer of safety and confidence, though the absence of drive modes may disappoint some drivers. Despite the lack of flashy features, the TS delivers where it counts, offering a driving experience that prioritizes engagement and control. The hosts also touch on the unique quirks of the BRZ TS, from the fiddly cup holder placement to the falling items due to the low seating position. Overall, the 2024 Subaru BRZ TS proves to be a well-rounded package that caters to driving enthusiasts looking for a blend of performance and practicality.
