Overview

Written by automotive expert Mark Takahashi

Updated: 4/22/2026

In recent years, the selection of sports cars has dwindled as carmakers chase after more lucrative SUV models and pave the way for an electric transition. If you're looking for an affordable sports car, there are even fewer to choose from. That's why we're glad the Subaru BRZ still carries the torch for having fun behind the wheel at an accessible price. Simplicity is the key to the 2024 BRZ, as it focuses on driver engagement over more typical shopper concerns of practicality, comfort and technology. It's not particularly powerful, but the engine output is well matched to the BRZ's spritely curb weight.

Subaru has also introduced a new BRZ variant, the tS, which raises the coupe's performance envelope. The suspension has been retuned by STI (Subaru's performance division), and there are also upgraded Brembo brakes and dark gray metallic finished 18-inch alloy wheels.

The BRZ is joined by its corporate twin, the Toyota GR86. The two differ mainly in styling and suspension tuning. Of the two cars, we slightly prefer the Subaru, though checking out the GR86 is a good idea as well. Other options include the Mazda MX-5 Miata or the redesigned 2024 Ford Mustang. Overall, the 2024 Subaru BRZ remains a great choice for budget performance and we cover everything you need to know in our Expert Rating.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Kurt Niebuhr

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Subaru BRZ on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

9/10

How does the BRZ drive? The BRZ is one of the best-driving and most entertaining sports cars on the market. Sure, acceleration isn't anything special — at our test track, our manual-equipped test car needed 6.1 seconds to get to 60 mph — but it's quick enough for the price. The engine is smooth and revs to a nice 7,500 rpm, so you can really wring the car out on the right roads. It doesn't sound all that great, but that's a small quibble. It's easy to drive, too, with a light but direct clutch and a precise if somewhat notchy shifter. Driving the BRZ daily isn't hard work, even in heavy traffic.

The upgraded BRZ tS gets Brembo brakes that are a bit larger than the ones on the standard model. The car doesn't stop any shorter, but we found the brakes on the tS held up better on a track than the standard car's, suffering from less fade after a few laps. The tS also gets a special suspension tuned by Subaru's STI performance division. The tS package might be overkill for the street, but we think it's worth a look if you plan to take your BRZ to a track.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the BRZ? The BRZ has a somewhat firm ride but with good compliance and it's able to soak up most road imperfections, especially at higher speeds. That's true, even with the BRZ tS' stiffer suspension dampers. This is a car built for the back road and the open highway. The manually adjustable seats feature good bolstering for your upper back and manage to hold you in place without being restrictive. Dual-zone climate control for such a small car seems like overkill, but it does the job.

Unfortunately, the BRZ is a bit on the noisy side. Road and tire noise is near constant and very loud. And engine noise, never a strength for the BRZ, is more annoying than evocative.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? Basic, straightforward and easy to use, the interior of the BRZ allows the driver to focus on driving. The BRZ's compact dimensions don't give it an abundance of interior room, but front passengers will find it more than comfortable, especially if they're on the taller side. Taller drivers will also appreciate the added space and room for adjustment, especially when compared to the much more cramped Miata. The rear seats, however, are better used as interior storage space than for passengers.

The BRZ's low dashboard is made possible by a well-integrated infotainment touchscreen mounted out of the way to enhance forward visibility. The Subaru's low-profile engine also gives the BRZ a low hood line, enhancing visibility for back roads and racetracks. Be aware that the BRZ's low ride height and long doors can make getting in and out a bit difficult.

Technology

7/10

How’s the tech? Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is standard, though neither one is wireless. You can't get an integrated navigation system in the BRZ either. Two quick-charging USB-A ports in the center armrest allow for your device to be truly out of the way while driving, but there are no USB-C ports to be found. The BRZ's infotainment interface is pretty basic but works well enough thanks to its quick response times and easy-to-understand graphics.

Far less impressive is the audio system. While that's likely not a priority for a sports car, the system can't really keep up with interior noise levels and is easily taxed by moderate volume. We think there's room for improvement here.

For its price, the BRZ is available with a decent number of advanced driver aids. Notably, from 2024 onward the BRZ will come with adaptive cruise with either the automatic or manual transmission. Before the feature was available only with the automatic. Special mention needs to go to the BRZ's various traction and stability systems. They're well calibrated for daily driving, and Track mode allows for a good amount of extra fun. There's also the option to turn them all off and let the tail hang out should you be a professional driver on a closed course.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? Small coupes aren't the most practical, but the BRZ is more than up to the daily grind. Its relatively small 6.3 cubic feet of trunk space is hampered by its short height, but when the seats are folded (you can't do that in a Miata), Subaru says the BRZ will hold four wheels with tires. For reference, the Miata's trunk can swallow 4.6 cubes, while the substantially larger Mustang holds 13.5 cubes.

Inside, the BRZ has a limited amount of storage. The cupholders reside well behind the driver's right arm. So while you're never at risk of bumping them while driving, that location does make it awkward to actually grab a drink from the cupholder. And if you have anything in the cupholder, you lose out on a place to put your phone given the USB ports. The door pockets have spots for water bottles or other slim items. The rear seats excel at holding bags, jackets and other items you don't want rolling around in the trunk.

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? Thanks to its light weight and relatively small engine, the BRZ is capable of decent fuel economy for a sports car. The EPA says to expect an estimated 22 mpg combined, and we were pleasantly surprised to see 28 mpg on our real-world evaluation route. Our test car was equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. The BRZ with the automatic gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined.

Value

8/10

Is the BRZ a good value? The BRZ is a lot of car for the money. Even the top-level tS trim is relatively affordable compared to other small performance cars. While we wouldn't go so far as to call the interior premium, but it is solidly constructed. To get a similar amount of equipment, most competitors would ask for thousands more, if they even offer it.

Warranties for the BRZ are fairly standard, with three years/36,000 miles for bumper-to-bumper and five years/50,000 miles for powertrain coverage. Subaru also includes three years/36,000 miles for roadside assistance. It should be noted that Toyota's version of the BRZ, the GR86, also includes two years of free maintenance.

Wildcard

9.5/10

If you can't have fun driving the BRZ, then maybe sports cars just aren't your thing. As sports cars, and all vehicles for that matter, become more complex and expensive, it's refreshing to see a truly back-to-basics sport coupe with true ability. The steering, handling and balance of the BRZ exist in few production cars regardless of price, and the car caters to every level of enthusiast. As a bonus, its friendly demeanor and accessible limits make the BRZ an instant and eager companion.

Deals & Buying Tips for the 2024 Subaru BRZ for October

Here are some money-saving tips for negotiating the best deal on the 2024 Subaru BRZ:

The median Subaru BRZ is selling around 14% below the MSRP, translating to savings of about $4,729 to $5,108 depending on the trim level. This presents a great opportunity for negotiation.
For used Subaru BRZ models, the inventory is quite healthy with 74 cars available, and prices start as low as $25,750. More choices mean you can be firmer on negotiating a lower price.
The used BRZ tends to move off lots at an average of 40 days. This aligns with the average selling speed, so you have some room to negotiate but act decisively once you find a good deal.
Currently, there are no new Subaru BRZ vehicles available. Consider contacting local dealers to try reserving one.

2024 Subaru BRZ trim level differences

The 2024 Subaru BRZ is available in three trim levels: Premium, Limited and tS. The only engine option is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (228 horsepower, 184 lb-ft of torque) mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic (only available on the Limited trim). All BRZs are rear-wheel-drive. Compare the 2024 Subaru BRZ trim levels in-depth.

Which BRZ trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the BRZ's Limited trim. It gets a bit more dressed up with larger wheels and upgraded interior upholstery, along with added safety and tech features. The tS is tempting, but the performance of the standard variants is so impressive that it'll be satisfying to most (if not all). We also suggest getting the manual transmission for improved driver engagement, but the automatic won't disappoint either.

What’s it like to live with?

Edmunds added a 2022 Subaru BRZ to its long-term test fleet to get a more complete ownership experience. Over a year and 20,000 miles, we cover everything we like as well as a few points where the BRZ could use some improvement.

Subaru BRZ vs. Mazda MX-5 Miata

For decades, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has been one of the best examples of a fun car. With its featherlight weight and sport-tuned suspension, this two-seat convertible is an absolute joy to drive. It's not as practical as the BRZ, which has two more seats and a slightly larger trunk, but most people considering either are willing to endure some inconvenience. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Mazda MX-5 Miata.

Subaru BRZ vs. Ford Mustang

The Ford Mustang delivers significantly more performance than the BRZ even if you opt for the base four-cylinder engine, which is priced similarly. We suggest upgrading to the raucous V8 for the full muscle car experience, but it will cost several thousand more. For 2024, the Mustang receives a major overhaul that includes a much nicer interior.

Subaru BRZ vs. Toyota GR86

The Toyota GR86 is essentially the same as the Subaru BRZ — they were developed in tandem. The differences are fairly negligible in regard to styling, with the GR86 having a slightly sharper nose. Its suspension is also a bit firmer to further improve handling, but it's also busier on rougher road surfaces.
