2022 Subaru BRZ

Rally driver Chris Atkinson puts the old and new Subaru BRZ models through their paces on-track and compares the differences.

The first Subaru BRZ was fun but flawed. The second-generation car builds on what made its predecessor great, but smooths out some of the rough edges.

Keen to snap up a slice of Subaru history? Too late, the BRZ 10th Anniversary Edition is sold out for Australia.

Order books for the Subaru BRZ 10th Anniversary Edition are open, with 150 units available priced from $43,090.

Like Toyota, Subaru will bring a special edition BRZ to market to celebrate the RWD coupe's first decade. Don't expect mechanical tweaks.

Orders are open for the Subaru BRZ once again. Prices are up, but there's no cap on the number of vehicles that can come to Australia this time around.

Congratulations to David Festa, who wins a $100 fuel card for writing his 2022 Subaru BRZ S owner review.

Subaru has stripped out the BRZ for a Japanese two-make race series, and created a tuner's dream in the process.

Subaru has sold its first batch of BRZ sports cars already, but more are on the way to help feed strong enthusiast demand.

Fancy a new Subaru BRZ? You'll need to wait a while, as the initial allocation of 500 vehicles has already sold out.

Want to get your hands on a new Subaru BRZ before late 2022? You'd better order now, because supply is limited and demand high.

The 2022 Subaru BRZ is a big step up in terms of standard safety equipment compared to the old car, but only the auto models offer a full suite of technology.

Subaru is bringing just 500 of its redesigned BRZ coupe here at first, and has yet to confirm when more will come.

Subaru's affordable rear-drive hero is pricier than before, but packs more power, more torque, and more safety equipment.

Australia likely has a new Nissan Z, Toyota 86, Subaru WRX, and Civic Type R available by next year. If that doesn't make you smile, well...

Subaru is farewelling the current BRZ and getting ready to welcome the new model to its range with online reservations.

Subaru has announced the new BRZ will make its global debut on November 19. But it still won't tell us what's under the bonnet.

Yesterday it was teased, today it has been leaked. According to the leak, the next-generation BRZ and Toyota 86 won't be turbocharged.

Waiting for a new BRZ? You won't have to wait all that much longer, with a reveal locked in. What will power the car isn't yet clear.

The second-generation Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ have been spotted ahead of going on sale globally next year.

esta would buy this car again because: "Standing on the side of the road, enjoying a cool breeze and looking out over the Victorian high country, my BRZ behind me making one of my favourite noises, the tick, tick, tick of a high performance sports car cooling down after a hard thrash, and the moment feels perfect.

David Festa purchased this Subaru BRZ new with additional options for $47,245 (including all on-road costs). David Festa would buy this car again because: "I would buy again because the days of dedicated sports coupes with rear-wheel drive, naturally-aspirated engines, and manual gearboxes are limited and I want to enjoy them while I can. It is the anti SUV. Before the turn of the millennium virtually every automotive manufacturer had an affordable sports coupe. Toyota Celica and MR2, Nissan 200SX, Honda Integra and Prelude, Mazda RX7, Alfa GTV, Fiat Coupe are just a few that come to mind. Even Holden had the Calibra. Ferrari and Lamborghini were the poster cars but an affordable sports coupes was what I really aspired to. And as old fashioned as the layout is, the BRZ is the best 1990s sports coupe you can buy today. I like a hot hatch as much as the next person but I love that this car is designed from the ground up for driving enjoyment and is not just a modified shopping trolley. I previously owned a base model 2015 GT86 and after waiting more than a year from the first reveal I found the experience of seeing the new BRZ in person a bit surreal. Years ago I used to sleep in the Doctor’s on call room in the Nurse’s quarters of the old Preston & Northcote Community Hospital (PANCH) in Melbourne. The same building is now an up market hotel and it feels bizarre walking through the place. The walls, foyer and swimming pool are all in the same place but barely recognisable. Everything is the same only better. I have the same experience with the BRZ. You can see the same basic shape of the old car but everything has been updated. The wider rear track makes the haunches more curvaceous, all the design details are more cohesive and the aero slashes on the side are now functional. All the hard points are the same but absolutely everything has been improved. Kudos to Subaru for making so many changes and all of them positive. Often when a car is updated there are inevitably some changes for the worse, just look at the cost cutting in the new Golf GTI interior or their horrendous new user interface. I loved the old BRZ and I love the new BRZ even more. But if, for whatever reason, you did not like the previous model then you may not like this one either. There have been multiple incremental improvements rather than any radical changes and in a lot of ways it remains substantially the same car. Only much, much better. To me it feels more premium and well made, like an expensive power tool, but in no way luxurious or opulent. A BMW or Porsche this is not. "
