2013 Maintenance schedule subject to change, correction |
the full maintenance schedule > Break-in period: drive the car nicely for the first 1000 miles, with a mix of city and highway driving. Keep RPMs under 4000 except in an emergency, and avoid fast or high revving starts and hard sudden braking and stops. Don't use cruise control except for very short periods. You might notice a slight minor hot smell as the engine heats up for the first time or two. This is a common smell in a new machine as they get used the first time. > First oil and filter change required at 7500 miles or by 7.5 months using the required 0w-20 synthetic oil Oil changes required at least every 7500 miles or 7.5 months Rotate tires every 7500 miles or 7.5 months Engine coolant is Subaru long life coolant and should be checked, but the replacement interval is 11 years 0r 137,000 miles. Timing chain: no replacement schedule > 15,000 miles or 15 months: oil/filter change, rotate tires, replace cabin air filter. Check, inspect, and replace as needed- the rear differential gear oil, automatic transmission fluid, engine coolant, brake system, steering, suspension, clutch operation, engine coolant > 30,000 miles or 30 months: oil/filter change, rotate tires, replace engine air filter, cabin air filter, brake fluid, and clutch fluid. Check, inspect, and replace as needed- belts, hoses, all gear and transmission fluids, brake and steering systems, suspension, clutch operation, engine coolant. > 45,000 miles or 45 months: repeat the 15000 mile service above > 60,000 miles or 60 months: oil/filter change, rotate tires, replace spark plugs, replace automatic transmission fluid, engine air filter, replace cabin air filter, brake fluid, clutch fluid. Check, inspect, and replace as needed belts, hoses, all gear oils, engine coolant (top off if needed), brake, steering, suspension, clutch lines, fluids, and operation. > 75,000 miles or 75 months- repeat the 15000 mile service above > 90,000 miles or 90 months: oil/filter change, rotate tires, replace engine air filter, cabin air filter, brake fluid, and clutch fluid.

2013 BRZ standard safety equipment includes... VDC vehicle dynamics control, electronic stability control TCS traction control system, all wheel all speed Airbags: Driver's knee airbag Airbags: Front airbags Airbags: Side airbags front Airbags: Side Curtain Airbags, front and rear Front passenger airbag- All 2013 BRZs (and 2013/2012 Crosstreks and Imprezas) use a front passenger seat Occupant Detection System called Electrostatic Capacitance Sensor ODS. When anyone is seated or when anything is placed on the front passenger seat, there is a change to that capacitance value. This change in capacitance value is what the Electrostatic Capacitance Sensor ODS uses to determine whether the front passenger seat airbag (SRS) will be ON or OFF. When water or anything with high moisture content is spilled on the front passenger seat cushion, the airbag is designed to remain OFF until the seat cushion is dry. This will also be the case if the passenger has moisture on their clothing, such as rain-soaked pants or rain gear. In each of these situations, the airbag status may remain OFF even if a passenger is seated. Everything that is placed on the seat will affect a change in capacitance value. Plastic, metals and other substances, even if at a heavy weight, will not change the OFF status of an airbag. A false electrical charge, for example, those caused by laptops that are processing data, cellphones that are on or even an electric device connected to a car charger can cause the airbag status to switch to ON |
> Whiplash protection front seats
> Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on all models > Headrests- front headrests are height adjustable > Steering wheel tilt and telescoping function to get a comfortable position > Headlights are Auto-off with ignition key removal, warning chime with lights back on > Brake assist increases the brake power when the driver initiates hard emergency pressure on the pedal. Brake assist generates the brake power according to the speed at which the driver depresses the brake pedal. Brakes: anti-lock 4 wheel disc brakes with EBD electronic brake force distribution, Brake assists for maximum brake pressure, and brake pad release return springs to prolong pad life. > Brakes- 4 wheel disc > Brake Override System, if gas and brake pedals are pressed at the same time, the brakes stop the car Brakes: brake return springs, helps eliminate some brake wear Brakes: EBD, electronic brake force distribution varies front/rear brake power 3 point lap and shoulder belts.

give the ride a smooth finish. The U.S. model also comes with limited-slip
differential, High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, GPS navigation
system and Bluetooth hands-free technology standard. The 2013 BRZ is
expected to be available stateside this spring." from subaru.com
> "Subaru's long-awaited
BRZ sports car made an appearance at the 2012 Detroit auto show, and despite
its small exterior size, there's room inside for taller folks — as long
as they steer clear of the rear seats. Subaru's cars lack a consistent
face, and the BRZ introduces yet another look featuring a large front intake
with black plastic trim on the upper edge. The hood is extremely low —
lower than the top of the front fenders at some points — and the wedge
headlights lend a dose of aggressiveness. Still, something isn't quite
right with the car's stance; it looks like it's sitting a little high on
its wheels, with too much of a gap between the tires and fenders. I have
no doubt the aftermarket tuners will rectify this in short order. Subaru
added some appliques on the BRZ's front fenders. Some automakers do a nice
job with these, like BMW with its M cars, but the BRZ's have a dull, tacked-on
look that diminish the design. The tail matches the front-end's aggressiveness
with a large rear diffuser, dual exhaust tips and an available rear spoiler.The
BRZ's small, low footprint is deceiving because the cabin easily accommodates
6-foot-plus adults. Very long front-seat travel helps in this regard, and
the steering wheel tilts and telescopes. Granted, with the driver's seat
all the way back rear-seat legroom is nonexistent, but the backseat is
marginally useful to start. With the rear seats folded, Subaru claims there's
enough cargo space to carry four extra wheels and a jack for a day at the
track; I suspect those rear seats will stay folded more often than not.
The front bucket seats are
relatively wide so the side bolsters don't hold you too tightly, and the
dashboard sits like a ledge in front of you. There are some unique interior
bits like toggle switches on the center control panel, and materials' quality
is decent overall. The stick shift moves with a direct, mechanical precision.
At a time when most cars — sports cars included — have grown larger and
heavier, it's refreshing to see something like the BRZ enter the market.
With a curb weight of just less than 2,800 pounds, the car keeps the weight
down, which should pay dividends all-around as far as the driving experience
is concerned." the
Chicago Tribune article
> "Powered by new
generation FA-Series 2.0-liter Boxer four-cylinder, generating 200 hp and
150 lb-ft of torque, the production BRZ boasts one of the lowest centers
of gravity of any car in the world and is also among the lightest two-door
coupes on the market, weighing in at a relatively bantam 2,762 lbs. That
makes it some 300 lbs less than the Lotus Evora and a whopping 500 lbs
less than the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. With a choice of six-speed manual
or automatic transmissions (the latter with sport and manual paddle shifts),
plus pedals optimized for heel and toe downshifting, along with an optimized
front strut suspension and independent rear, the BRZ promises to be one
of the most fun to drive cars available in American when it goes on sale
as a 2013 model." the

It’s rare we get to test
a new sports car aimed directly at those who want a sports car but don’t
have Porsche money in the bank. This one is, of course, the long-anticipated
Subaru BRZ, as in Boxer, Rear-wheel drive Zenith (as in peak, not the television
set). Jointly developed with Toyota (and to also be sold as the Scion FR-S
in the U.S.), the BRZ was mostly engineered by Subaru and mostly styled
by Toyota, with companies tweaking the other’s efforts to personalize the
machine somewhat.

A half century or so ago, the car market was blossoming with sports cars.
These were generally simple machines that were often unreliable and impractical
-- and very often not particularly fast. They came with funny little names
like MG and Triumph and Sunbeam and Alfa Romeo and Datsun, and their owners
weren’t much concerned with zero to sixty. Or top speed. Or peak lateral
acceleration. No, the cars had a simple task: to put a smile on your face.

The Subaru BRZ represents nothing less than the return of inexpensive,
fun, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports cars.

We were given a few 15-minute stints with two U.S.-production models: a
high-spec BRZ Limited equipped with the optional six-speed automatic transmission
and a base model BRZ Premium with the standard six-speed manual.
