The 2012 Subaru BRZ is a compact sports car that was co-developed with Toyota and introduced as a twin to the Scion FR-S (later known as the Toyota 86). The BRZ is known for its sleek and sporty design, coupled with a lightweight and balanced chassis that prioritizes handling and driving dynamics. Powered by a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated boxer engine, the BRZ delivers a smooth and responsive power delivery, generating 200 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, with the manual option offering a more engaging driving experience. The BRZ's rear-wheel drive configuration further enhances its sporty character, allowing for precise control and playful handling, particularly on winding roads. Beyond its performance capabilities, the 2012 BRZ offers a relatively comfortable and practical interior. While the two-door coupe design limits rear passenger space, the front seats are supportive and offer a good driving position. The BRZ's interior is generally well-appointed, featuring basic amenities like air conditioning, power windows, and a stereo system. However, its focus on driver engagement comes at the cost of some creature comforts, with limited storage space and a somewhat basic infotainment system. Despite its simplicity, the 2012 BRZ remains a desirable and engaging sports car for those seeking a pure and rewarding driving experience. Its lightweight design, balanced chassis, and responsive engine make it a joy to drive, offering an engaging and rewarding experience on both open roads and racetracks.
