My brz is an outstanding performance and captivating sports car.
I really love my brz it is a wonderful car that always get attention from everyone. I always have fun driving and I do not regret ever purchasing. It has a smooth performance and very smooth handling. The seats are very comfortable and snug. I do not think someone larger would be able to fit due to the small space in the back seat and the snug seats in the front. The center console and touch screen navigation system is basically useless in my opinion due to not functioning properly. I don't really mind since I rarely ever use navigation. I noticed that you cannot access the phone book through my phone when it is synced to the car. The sound system is average I would of love it more if the quality of the sound of music had more bass. Overall, in the first year that I been owning this car I have not come across any major problems besides regular oil changes, replacement of new tires and new front rear brakes.

Performance is good in every way from engine to brakes.
It is a really good car if you like sport cars. Easy car to modify. There is no problem at all it is a reliable car. Price on the car is not as expensive as you would think it is. Totally love it I really recommend car enthusiast to buy car if they are in a budget.

Great gas mileage; turns heads!
I love my brz. It is great on gas mileage; about 32 miles per gallon. I have never had any problems with it except a recall, and Subaru covered it. It is a smooth drive considering it is a 'feel the road car.' I do have to have a separate vehicle to drive in the winter, though, as this is rear wheel drive and very low to the ground.

Fun flirty fast and furious
Its driver oriented and you feel in control of the road especially with how it hugs the curves. It is sporty and fun to drive

Nice, entry level sports car.
Looks great, easy to drive sports car for entry level drivers. Available in stick shift, good turning radius and handling, not fast but a quick car. The only complaint I have is the ac capacity as it takes forever to cool. Other than that, I truly enjoy driving this car.

The look of the car does not make it look smaller than it really is.
Car is not for families. I love that it is small because I don't have to tote around the kids! Fast, fuel efficient, higher maintenance bills, comfortable seating for 2. It does have a backseat but I do not recommend anyone trying to cram back there. Trunk is rather large for such a small car.

The brz is a great car for the price!
My favorite feature of the brz is the handling. It has great pickup and hugs the curves well. Also very comfortable driver’s seat and loads of storage for a sports car! Only drawbacks are the rear seats are ridiculous with absolutely no leg room. Not sure what the point was since it is impossible to fit an adult back there. Also no controls for the stereo on the steering wheel. That should be standard in any car in this day and age.

A very good car if you live with good weather.
Bad in snow. Do not buy this car if you live in the north east. The winter mode is trash and does not help at all. It is good in the summer and fun to drive. Feels like a go kart. The suspension lets you feel every single bump in the road but it feels natural because you are so low.

Why I love my Subaru brz!
I love my car the driving on it is amazing! The steering is amazing as well! You can really drive pretty fast and take any turn and hug the turn and it does not slide or anything! Love the inside interior with the push to start and all the features it brings! The outside is really my favorite it is the cheapest sports car in the world and it turns heads anywhere you drive, you should give a Subaru brz a shout and see if you would love it like how I love my Subaru!

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Isaiah L.

Good sound, lasts forever, no problems, good looking, I use it as my daily driver and never had any real problems, sometimes it can be a little too small but it still does the trick for me. Moving can be a small hassle and long road trips aren't too bad.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Isaiah L.

I do not like how small the trunk and leg space is, I wish the back seats were either bigger or didn't exist at all, good for backpack storage but moving is terrible and it is definitely not a family car, more for a single man.

Is The 2013 Subaru BRZ A Good Car?

It's good entry level sports car. Lightweight with enough power, and good amount of torque. Good handling and decent gas mileage.

How Reliable Is The 2013 Subaru BRZ?

The only problem I have is the ac. I feel like fan is not strong enough to where it takes a while for air conditioning to start blowing cold air on the hot days.
Ai T.

Is The 2013 Subaru BRZ A Good Value?

Base price was 25,000. The cost is okay. For what the cost is, I wish it had more power. I don't think paying additional for higher trim is worth it though.
