Subaru BRZ / Toyota GR86
The Subaru BRZ is a sports car that was first introduced in 2012. It is a joint development project between Subaru and Toyota, and is based on the same platform as the Toyota GT86. The BRZ is a two-door, rear-wheel drive coupe that is powered by a 2.0-liter boxer engine that produces 205 horsepower. It is available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission.
The BRZ has been praised for its handling and performance. It has a low center of gravity and a stiff suspension, which makes it very agile on winding roads. The engine is also responsive and provides good power delivery. The BRZ is a fun car to drive, and it is a good choice for those who are looking for a sports car that is both affordable and practical.
The BRZ has been well-received by critics, with many praising its handling, performance, and affordability. It has also been a commercial success, with over 100,000 units sold worldwide. The BRZ is a great choice for those who are looking for a fun and affordable sports car.
Some of the pros and cons of the Subaru BRZ:
Pros:
- Excellent handling
- Affordable price
- Practical two-door coupe
- Great reliability
Cons:
- Limited cargo space
- Noisy cabin
- Firm ride
- Not as comfortable as some other sports cars, though the other sports cars that have similarities (rear-wheel drive, manual gearbox, quick and agile handling) usually have a higher price tag
- The infamous torque dip that comes in early
In 2022, Toyota and Subaru released the GR86 and BRZ and they are better than ever! Both cars feature a more powerful engine, a stiffer chassis, and more aggressive styling. The GR86 and BRZ are both rear-wheel drive, and they both have a limited-slip differential. They're both also very light, which makes them a lot of fun to drive.
The GR86 and BRZ are great for both daily driving and track days. They're both affordable, and they're both a lot of fun. If you're looking for a fun sports car that can double as a practical daily driver, the GR86 or BRZ is a great option.
Here are some of the key features of the new generation GR86 and Subaru BRZ:
- More powerful engine - practically no more early torque dip!
- Stiffer chassis
- More aggressive styling
- Limited-slip differential
I personally prefer the design of the BRZ over the GR86, but the design is always a subjective thing. No matter what you choose between the two cars, it will surely put a smile on your face whenever you drive!
