Subaru BRZ Coupe (2017 - 2021) review
The Subaru BRZ’s old-school character stands out among the hot-hatch alternatives and enthusiasts will love its traditional rear-wheel balance but the rawness and cheap interior will limit wider appeal

The Autotrader expert verdict:
The purist’s hot hatch alternative, the Subaru BRZ – like its Toyota GT86 doppelganger – focuses on traditional rear-wheel drive handling and feedback over raw power. This is a traditional sporting coupe in every sense and only really rivalled by the open-top Mazda MX-5 for sporting thrills at this price point.
Reasons to buy:
- Excellent handling and steering feel
- Low speed entertainment
- Great seating position
