The only Subaru without all-wheel drive, the BRZ targets people looking to have fun driving a light and agile vehicle without breaking the bank. Its 2.0L flat four-cylinder engine develops 205 horsepower when matched to a manual gearbox, and 200 horsepower with the optional automatic. The tS version joins the lineup this year, offering Brembo brakes and a sportier STI-developed suspension.
