The BRZ is the sports car for purists who crave cornering thrills over comfort.
The 2026 Subaru BRZ is a love letter to driving enthusiasts who value pure, unfiltered engagement. With its 2.4L 4-cylinder engine delivering 228 horsepower to the rear wheels through a slick 6-speed manual, it’s a car that begs for winding canyon roads and rewards with crisp, precise handling. While the cabin can become a cacophony at highway speeds and the exhaust note lacks the throatiness of its peers, the BRZ shines in offering a connected driving experience that many modern cars have lost. The interior space is modest, and the rear seats are best suited for luggage, but these are small prices to pay for the dynamic joy this car delivers. For those who can overlook these quirks, the BRZ is a purebred sports car that’s reasonably priced and more practical than a Miata. If you’re looking for an all-out performance companion for weekend drives, look no further.
