Review: 2013 Subaru BRZ A/T

Blame EDSA traffic, but driving a sports car isn’t a fun aspect anymore. The thought of having to squeeze a low-slung car in-between two buses is enough to send chills down your spine. And then, you have to consider the limited visibility, the discomfort of the firm ride, and the claustrophobic feel of the tight interior. Thankfully, not all sports cars are built and engineered the same way; there’s one that’s specifically designed to be driven every day, one that doesn’t compromise on practicality or comfort but feels like a shot of adrenaline every time you get behind the driver’s seat. This is the Subaru BRZ—the perfect antidote to the humdrum of everyday driving.

I always respect car manufacturers that come up with products that do exactly what they are engineered to do. With a name that means “Boxer Rear-wheel drive Zenith”, the Subaru BRZ may not have the catchiest nameplate out there, but as the pinnacle (or zenith) of sports cars is concerned, it delivers, and delivers beautifully. Above everything else in the market now, no other car delivers the same thrill, the same sense of connectedness, the same unadulterated driving experience as this sports car.

Review: 2022 Subaru BRZ 2.4 EyeSight AT


The 2022 Subaru BRZ is a case of what you see is what you get. Based on its sheet metal and proportions, it’s a careful evolution of a well-proven formula that’s helped it gather sportscar fans into its fold. Though Subaru is mostly known for sensible all-wheel drive crossovers and the WRX, the BRZ helped them knock on the door of greatness. The first-generation model fell short in certain aspects, but now, Subaru has managed to fix the well-known gripes. The result? The new standard in affordable sportscars.

The All-New 2022 Subaru BRZ Sticks to a Proven Formula


The all-new 2022 Subaru BRZ can be summarized in one sentence: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Subaru’s 2+2 sportscar pretty much sticks to the same formula as the first-generation model: low curb weight, low center of gravity, but with just an added sprinkling of new tech.

Subaru's Saving the Manuals with the 2019 BRZ and 2019 WRX and We Drive Them Both


Name a performance car nowadays, and chances are, it’ll come with an automatic transmission. Whether it’s because carmakers will claim that a slush box will provide the same amount of performance minus the hassle of operating a third pedal, or increased market demand (bean counters will say: who buys manuals nowadays), this has become a fact of life—like how the sun rises in the east, sets in the west, and the new Supra’s basically a Z4 underneath. Thankfully, there’s still one brand that’s flying the Save the Manuals flag locally, and that brand is Subaru.
