About the Subaru BRZ

The Subaru BRZ represents a modern success story in the accessible sports car market, developed as a collaborative project with Toyota and produced from 2012 through to the current 2026 model year. This rear-wheel-drive coupe is defined by its two distinct generations: the original series (2012–2021), which utilised a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated "boxer" engine, and the more muscular second-generation (2022–present), which upgraded to a 2.4-litre unit for improved torque and mid-range response. In Australia, the BRZ has cultivated a massive following, particularly among driving purists who value its low centre of gravity and exceptionally balanced handling over raw straight-line speed. The buyer pool is diverse, ranging from younger enthusiasts entering the performance car scene to seasoned track-day regulars, with a strong secondary market for limited-run variants like the 10th Anniversary and the recent "tS Kiiro" editions. While the second-generation models are highly coveted for their integrated safety tech and extra power, well-maintained first-generation examples remain a high-desirability entry point for those seeking a pure, analogue driving experience. Market value for these vehicles is remarkably stable, bolstered by their reputation for mechanical reliability and their status as one of the few remaining affordable, driver-focused coupes on the Australian market.
