2022 Subaru BRZ Review: A Test Drive Cut Short… But Still Plenty Instructive!

Auto123 reviews the 2022 Subaru BRZ.

Subaru’s spunky little BRZ is, of course, an oddity in the Japanese automaker’s lineup, a low-sitting, sporty rear-wheel-drive coupe surrounded by outdoorsy AWD sedans and, mostly, SUVs. Certainly, this car doesn’t attract exactly the same buyers who are so devoutly loyal to the Outback, Forester and others. But there’s something of the same charm to be found here as in others carrying the Subaru celestial badge.

That likely has at least something to do with the lack of pretense in the interior, which is well-designed and practical (to a point) but not ostentatious or luxurious by any stretch of the imagination.

As it happened, our test drive of the 2022 BRZ’s Sport-Tech Limited variant equipped with auto transmission (there is of course a manual gearbox in the product offering) was cut short somewhat by a mid-week mishap. More on that in a bit. But it was long enough to get a feel for what the revised second-generation edition has to offer.
