for where I pick this Subaru is a fantastic time this is 2015 Subaru BRZ a little sports car that in this very short life went from being one of the most overhyped cars to one of the most underrated it's hot behind the wheel a series of lewisham he would all deflect about I would never want to get out of this seat now a lot of automakers talk about a driver focused cabin when they talk about their sporty cars but this is one of the truly driver-focused interiors everything just falls nicely into the hand from the steering wheel the shifter the pedals are at a nice spot for heel toeing just a very good place to pilot this vehicle and do nothing else there aren't even buttons on the steering wheel now the BRZ separates itself from the Scion with a touchscreen infotainment system that's going to give you navigation and HD radio a whole lot of different bells and whistles right out of the box and they're all in this box right here now one nice feature that the top-tier BRZ models get is this little red button right here that's going to indicate that we have push button start and keyless entry it's a really cool convenient feature now Subaru BRZ gets a lot of grief from the enthusiast community for being a little underpowered but at 200 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque I think this lightweight little sports car has enough current to have a really good time powered by this 2-liter horizontally imposed four-cylinder engine that's gonna be made it up with a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual as in this case transmission and one of the things you'll notice is that fintan is now is very low down and very far back into the engine bay that's gonna help this card's balance and it's gonna contribute to that really good handling that we'll see in a second this is a rewarding drive there's enough power for the chassis everything feels well-balanced everything falls nicely in the hand branches torts not that great you find yourself in too tall of a gear or in the wrong gear at a stoplight and you will get straight walked on by guy even Toyota Camrys but when the road gets twisty they will not be having nearly as much fun I mean this isn't a car that's about power it's about balance and it's about the tribe being second nature the car sort of being almost telepathic and I'm getting a lot of that from here now it's been pointed out then there is a little bit of artificial miss to this cars driving joy I mean it's got a great platform for handling but a lot of that sort of like tail out happiness that you get in a turn doesn't really come from power it come from the fact that if cars been basically saddled with tires that are too narrow and don't offer enough grip but while they're not outright the fastest setup they are a lot of fun especially when you've got the VSC sport setting on this car and you get a little tail happy coming out of a corner now this series blue Edition has cool basically a lot of visual upgrades you got a black body kit you've got black wheels red painted brake calipers there aren't very many performance upgrades unless you count the extra aerodynamics of the body kit I don't know if it's actually worth the extra money on this particular vehicle this is the kind of car that you want to keep the cost low and keep things simple keep you sweet now the 2015 Subaru BRZ starts at about twenty five six nine five but this series blue Edition with all of the extra body kit and interior upgrades is gonna start at about $29,000 a destination feed and you're looking at just a hair over $30,000 for a 200 horsepower sports car now for that sort of money you can get a very well-equipped v6 Ford Mustang but now we're talking about a very different kind of vehicle that's more power this is more finesse actually think the biggest competitor to this is going to be at thigh on batched when the FRS which gets you all the driving thrills with less frills for less money
