The Subaru BRZ, a sleek and sporty coupe, made its debut in 2012, offering driving enthusiasts an engaging and affordable performance car experience. Developed in collaboration with Toyota, the BRZ shares its platform and powertrain with the Toyota GT86 (known as the Scion FR-S in the United States). The BRZ stands out with its lightweight construction, low center of gravity, and a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, fondly known as a "boxer" engine. This engine, paired with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, delivers a spirited driving experience characterized by its responsive throttle, sharp handling, and precise steering. The car's rear-wheel drive configuration further enhances its agility and driver engagement, making it a popular choice for both daily driving and track days. The 2012-2014 Subaru BRZ, though visually similar to its later counterparts, features subtle differences in its design and specifications. These models are distinguished by their slightly larger front grille, halogen headlights, and a lack of the optional LED daytime running lights found on subsequent years. Under the hood, these early BRZs are powered by a 2.0-liter boxer engine producing 200 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. While not the most powerful engine in its class, the BRZ's lightweight design and balanced handling excel on winding roads and tight corners. These models also offered a choice of either a six-speed manual transmission for a more engaging driving experience or a six-speed automatic transmission for convenience. The Subaru BRZ Shop Manual, specifically for the 2012-2014 models, serves as an essential guide for mechanics, technicians, and DIY enthusiasts alike, providing comprehensive information and diagrams for all aspects of the vehicle's maintenance and repair.
