Subaru BRZ

When I first saw the specs for this car I felt a bit underwhelmed by the power figure of 197 bhp.  I still think the looks deserve more power it is outpaced by most hot hatches, not what you expect from a Subaru sports car.  That said I do get the high revving N/A engine linked with brilliant handling.  I recently drove a Smart ForFour Brabus 1.5 turbo followed by a Clio 172 I found the frantic 2.0 litre normally aspirated engine in the Clio much more involving, I wanted to push it and take it to the red line.  I felt reluctant to rev the turbo engine hard, it just didn't feel up to it, flimsy in some way.   

So despite the lack of power I'm still intrigued by the BRZ, having now seen one in the flesh I'm beginning to think the power isn't all that important.
