2026 Subaru BRZ review

Subaru BRZ: built for the drive, not the errand. Illustrative review

9.0/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Subaru BRZ sits near the top of its class. Sharp steering and a willing chassis; engine note that rewards the throttle. Stiff ride on broken roads and limited cargo space, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $32,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

★★★★☆Rafael T. · Kansas City, MO · 8 months owned
Happy after a year

The steering feel is the standout. My only gripe is the firm ride, which I knew going in.

★★★★★Jake A. · Houston, TX · 22 months owned
Would buy again

We cross-shopped three others and this won on steering feel. the firm ride is the trade-off.

★★★★☆Dwayne K. · Nashville, TN · 8 months owned
Happy after a year

Bought it for the weekend drives and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
