Subaru's BRZ- A Relic to Be

The Subaru BRZ is a sports car unlike any other, offering distinctive looks as well as an exceptionally distinctive ride. The design of the BRZ was evidently influenced by sports car renegades of the past, yet it manages to pull off quite a contemporary look and feel all the same. This year, it sports a squared off fascia with an aircraft inspired chin. The new headlamps are embedded with impeccably sharp LED DRL’s that have internally coined the term “hawk eyes”.

 In the cabin, sportily bolstered bucket seats and a utilitarian dashboard layout make it clear that this car is made to drive, not to fiddle with the touchscreen. Comfort is by no means at the center stage here but the hard plastics on the door panels and console have been replaced with plusher, more touchable materials.

The BRZ comes with a surprising amount of available features, considering the clearly drive-centered focus of the overall design. The BRZ comes standard with an eight-speaker sound system, Bluetooth, HD Radio, satellite radio, a rearview camera, hill-start assist, and a 6.2-inch touch-screen display with Subaru’s Starlink infotainment system and smartphone integration. Available features are LED fog lights, heated front seats, heated side mirrors, front seats with leather bolsters and Alcantara upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless access, push-button ignition, and much more. Most people who choose the BRZ, however, will likely be satiated with minimum amenities and simply enjoy their cruiser for what it was intended for.

The 2.0-liter boxer four makes five more horsepower and five more pound-feet of torque than last year- but only on manual-transmission cars. That brings the totals to 205 hp and 156 lb-ft. For Subaru, it's not the numbers that matter. Subaru has focused instead on the overall driving feel, an enigmatic metric that can't be articulated on a list of standard specifications.

The direction Subaru has taken their sporty coupe is highly catered to drivers who love to drive. It’s all about the feels, man. If you really want a sports car; a high revving engine, seamless handling, and nearly perfect weight distribution- the BRZ was made just for you. Hungry for more?

The Subaru Impreza's Complete Redesign

The 2017 Subaru Impreza has been given a complete redesign- with an encompassing 90% of the car being upgraded. The previous Impreza was a token entrant in the market for Subaru for generations, but the risk of undergoing such a drastic change understandably didn’t overshadow the necessity of changing out 15 year old door handles.

Although the 2017 redesign spans universally through the vehicle, the new Impreza is still familiar looking enough to be easily recognized. The body itself is much more fluid and has been given accent cues towards Subarus desired “sculptural” design. Even so, it’s still evident that Subaru heartily favors function over form- focusing in on aerodynamic properties and a lighter frame.

The cabin has become much more personable, with more expression and organic lines than last years utilitarian layout that was indeed ergonomic but lacked personality. The shining attribute of the Imprezas new interior would undoubtedly be the spaciousness. Visibilty is no sweat at any angle, and the hatchback models in particular offer cargo-carrying capacity that rivals some subcompact SUVs.

The Impreza is powered by a revised 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that now features direct injection. Now more powerful, horsepower increases from 148 hp to 152 hp and torque stays at 145 lb-ft. At 32 mpg combined, the 2017 Subaru Impreza is one of the most fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive vehicles sold in the U.S.

Not only did the Impreza earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick designation, the new global platform improves crash energy absorption by 40 percent. Standard active safety features for this year include blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert, and when equipped with the EyeSight system; additionally includes adaptive cruise control, automatic pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist.

Starting at $19,200 and maxing out at just $30,000- the Subaru Impreza is by far the most economical all-wheel drive car you can buy. The redesigned Impreza has a lot of amenities to offer on top of its fresh design, and very well could be topping the sales charts this year.
