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?
