Subaru BRZ

What it says about you

Opinion

Not much power, and that was the whole idea. You can use all of it, which is more than most people with faster cars can say.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

14 model years on record, 101 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 1. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

The years to look at closely: 2013 (valve). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
