Subaru BRZ
Looking for a fun and affordable sporty coupe? The Subaru BRZ is one of the last few options along with its cousin, the Toyota GR86. For the 2024 model year, the limited-edition tS model is back, while Subaru’s EyeSight safety system is finally available with the manual transmission. The naturally aspirated 2.4-litre engine (228 horsepower) is a good match for the 1.3-ton BRZ, which also benefits from a limited-slip rear differential and responsive steering.
