The BRZ is a pure, lightweight sports car, increasingly rare now that most performance cars are heavy and complex. It's rear wheel drive, the only Subaru without all wheel drive, and built around a low set boxer engine for great balance and a low centre of gravity. It's less about big power figures than feel, with a slick manual, sharp steering and a chassis that rewards on a winding road or a track day. It comes in BRZ, S and the track focused tS, with a manual or automatic, backed by Subaru's five year warranty.

The AutoFocus Verdict

The base BRZ is all you really need: light, balanced, RWD and built around the slick six-speed manual that makes it special. The same-price automatic adds paddle shifters and an easier daily commute while giving up little of how the car steers and turns in, so the choice really comes down to how involved you want to be. Everything above adds comfort and track hardware rather than power, so this is an easy place to stay.
