Subaru BRZ Model Research

If you are looking for one of the most exciting and affordable sports cars on the market today, check out the Subaru BRZ. It's small, lightweight and easy to drive. With a standard six-speed transmission and a low seating position, you will truly enjoy driving the BRZ. With a 228-hp 2.4-liter flat-four engine, you'll have plenty of power to fly up and down the street. It offers responsive handling and an impressive cornering grip, which makes it the perfect sports car to take up the mountain.

While the BRZ is a fun sports car, it's more practical than you may realize. It offers a lot of useful interior storage cubbies and a rear jump seat, which means you can toss in a bag of groceries or even a small suitcase. However, performance is king in this car, and it goes from 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. Every model comes with a standard limited slip-rear differential, and the Premium model offers a set of 17-inch wheels. The higher performance Limited comes with impressive 18-inch wheels.

Most people who are in the market for a sports car are probably not thinking about cabin space. However, the BRZ offers a driver-centric design and a 2+2 seating configuration. Drivers will enjoy a 7.0-inch fully digital gauge cluster, which makes the tachometer the main attraction. The front seats are heavily bolstered, so passengers are securely in place at all times, even during hard cornering. It's also practical with a sizable cargo area.

The Subaru BRZ features an 8.0-inch touchscreen that is mounted in the center of the dashboard. The display offers touch inputs and physical knobs for volume and tuning functions. You can use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and even SiriusXM satellite radio.

The truth is that Subaru is always on the cutting-edge when it comes to driver safety, and they offer its EyeSight system on all automatic-equipped models. Key safety features include available adaptive cruise control, available lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist and also available forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking. If you buy a Subaru, you know that you and your passengers are going to be in good hands.

Trim Levels

There are two trim levels available:

• Limited

There are only a few slight differences. The Limited trim comes with 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, Leather/Ultrasuede®-trimmed upholstery and LED Steering Responsive Headlights. Both have the same engine and get the same gas mileage, and the price difference is only a few thousand dollars.

Subaru BRZ vs. The Competition

There's not a lot of direct competition for the Subaru BRZ. The Hyundai Kona N has a sharper edge and a little more power, but is a stiffer ride. On the other hand, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is the closest rival to the BRZ, but it's a convertible and not a couple. Also, the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro vaguely competes against the BRZ, but they really serve different needs.
