Performance: | 9.0 |
The 2016 Subaru BRZ's tight handling and sharp steering make it a joy to drive, according to auto writers. It lacks the horsepower of some rivals, though critics say the BRZ's 200-horsepower four-cylinder engine can still get the car going quickly.
The 2016 Subaru BRZ is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 200 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard and a six-speed automatic is optional.
According to the EPA, the 2016 BRZ gets 22/30 mpg city/highway with the six-speed manual, which is typical for the class. The BRZ earns 25/34 with the automatic transmission, which is good for a sports car.
The BRZ is not a good choice if power is your top priority, according to reviewers, but they say the engine is still peppy enough to move this lightweight sports car with ease. Auto writers note that the manual transmission is easy to shift smoothly. They add that ordering the optional automatic doesn't diminish any of the fun.
Reviewers say the 2016 Subaru BRZ is fun and easy to pilot around corners thanks to its nimble handling, responsive steering and strong brakes. Test drivers add that the BRZ has a balanced ride that is not too jolting on imperfect roads.
