When is the last time you got up early just to go for a drive? Park a 2014 Subaru BRZ on your driveway and you might find yourself wanting to do just that. Developed as part of a joint venture with Toyota, the Subaru BRZ was conceived as a back-to-basics driving machine. It’s aggressive styling and impressive performance make this car a real stunner on the road.



The design of the 2014 Subaru BRZ is a classic sports car, with a low stance and bulging rear wheel arches to point to its rear-wheel drive set-up. The BRZ is available in Subaru’s iconic Blue Mica, a colour made famous by years of WRX rally cars, although the more aggressive styling cues are limited to the modest rear spoiler and black diffuser.

The interior of the 2014 Subaru BRZ is equally humble and while it includes features such as automatic headlights, cruise control, and keyless entry, sporting touches are limited to a set of aluminum pedals and a pair of well-bolstered part-leather seats. The rear seats however, are realistically best reserved for children or those with no legs.

Usefully, however, the rear seats can fold forward, increasing the trunk space from an already respectable 8.6 cubic feet to 44.9 cubic feet. The instrument cluster inside the 2014 Subaru BRZ is nicely arranged with a digital speed readout embedded in the rev counter. But enough with the practicalities, the important bit is up front.

The power in the 2014 Subaru Forester comes from a 2.0-litre boxer engine which develops 200-horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. It may not sound like much, but it is really more than enough to fuel the lightweight BRZ and move it with authority.

What is important in the 2014 BRZ is how the power makes its way to the tarmac.You see, the BRZ wears suspiciously skinny tires that are more commonly found on a Toyota Prius. The reason for that becomes evident once you take the car out on the road. While the BRZ will happily cruise along in a docile fashion, to get the best from it, you really need to grab it by the horns.

The engine in the 2014 BRZ revs unusually high for a boxer unit, with a red-line upwards of 7,000 revs-per-minute. However, with 4,000 revs-per-minute showing on the clock, there’s a delicious, hard-edged resonance that fills the cabin. Those skinny tires make the BRZ ‘deliberately untenacious,’ and any driver that takes it out for a joyride will feel the BRZ’s rear end squirming about through a corner.

For a car that looks great and is almost too much fun to drive, definitely consider this year’s 2014 Subaru BRZ. You’ll find yourself falling in love with it as soon as you put your foot on the gas pedal.

Power and Performance:

The 2014 Subaru BRZ is a very light, straightforward sports car above all else, and it's a blast to drive, especially on curvier roads. It's powered by a Subaru 'boxer' engine–a horizontally-opposed 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 200 horsepower–but it's fitted with direct-injection technology, rather than a turbocharger. It's a high-revving, relatively low-torque way to get around that doesn't necessarily inspire trips to the drag strip, but keeps the engine spinning fast enough to keep you shimmying briskly through the corners. Power builds quickly between 4,500-rpm to 6,500-rpm, and the exhaust has a tendency to delightfully bark in a way that seems more familiar to a tuned WRX.

“Pure handling delight” was the mantra during the BRZ's development, and its exceptionally low center of mass (one of the lowest of any mass production car) and 2,800-pound curb weight speak to that. Handling and body control are confidence-inspiring and extremely predictable. With low-mounted struts and coil springs in front, plus a front brace, and a double-wishbone (multi-link) setup essentially adapted from the STI, the BRZ is tuned to scrub speed off at the front wheels first and transfer its weight cautiously back to the tail when the driver pushes it. You can edge the tail out under power, but you have to make an effort to do that with revs and a heavy right foot. And quick-ratio steering gear manages to carry a lot of road feel through to the steering wheel.

The 2014 Subaru BRZ is rated at up to 8.4 L/100km in the city and 6.9 L/100km on the highway, despite its high-strung sports car personality. That's due in part to its direct-injection fuel system, its tall high-gear overdrive, and its very light curb weight–coming in at only 2,800 pounds.

Interiors and Special Features:

Billed as a 2+2 sports car the 2014 Subaru BRZ is best thought of as a 2-seater thanks to elfin rear bucket seats sized for emergency use only. Up front, occupants enjoy more human-like comfort with reasonable head space and comfortable yet incredibly supportive sport seats. The plastic-clad interior isn't fancy, but it offers simple functionality with minimal distraction, smartly keeping the driver focused on the joy of driving.

Anchoring the BRZ's standard equipment list are a Torsen limited-slip differential, a navigation system with 6.1-inch touch screen, six airbags and an 8-speaker audio system with auxiliary and USB inputs.

Buyers looking to enhance the basic Subaru BRZ premium trim can step up to the Limited trim, which adds heated seats with Alcantara inserts and leather bolsters, dual-zone automatic climate control, fog lights, keyless entry and engine start, and a rear spoiler.

Safety features:

Standard safety equipment on the 2014 Subaru BRZ includes antilock brakes, traction and stability control (with selectable levels of calibration), front side airbags and side curtain airbags.

In Edmunds brake testing, the BRZ came to a stop from 60 mph in 114 feet -- a short distance but about what you'd expect from a sporty car with summer tires.

In crash testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the BRZ received the highest possible rating of "Good" in the moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact and roof strength tests.
