The 2022 Subaru BRZ: One of the Last Affordable Sports Cars

 

The all new 2022 Subaru BRZ is slated to be one of the few sports cars still left under the 30K price bracket. For the 2022 model year refresh we get all new styling encompassing the entire exterior of the car. Additionally, the car receives a larger 2.4L engine making 228 horsepower: that's 28 more than last year's model. This should make the car feel more sporty in all aspects, as the engine is still a boxer type which keeps the center of gravity extremely low. Couple this with the rear-wheel drive setup and the six speed manual transmission and it is perhaps the most athletic car you can get on a budget. The curb weight of the car is also extremely low, still being under 3000 pounds even with all of the safety features included. The refreshed model will also come with a retuned suspension to work with the larger engine. Bigger brakes and the grippy Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires makes the car stop even faster than before and can have even more mechanical grip to keep the car on the road. 

Something that bothered car enthusiasts in the pre-refresh models of the BRZ would be unnatural torque curve that made the car feel sluggish until higher RPMs. Subaru has now addressed this and made the car more lively in lower RPMs, making this BRZ the most fun BRZ than ever before. This applies to both the manual and automatic transmissions. 

With all of this performance, the car is also surprisingly usable with the presence of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay through a new 8-inch touchscreen display. The car also comes with a digital instrument cluster, making the car also feel very modern. This is a fantastic sporty car everyone should have the opportunity to drive.
