As Subaru has been absent from Grasso’s Garage, we have witnessed a slew of convertibles which are ready to enjoy fun in the sun. But today, we see a different kind of fun, and that is without the sun. I give you the 2024 Subaru BRZ-tS; Subaru’s rear wheel drive, 2-door coupe.
Powered with a 2.4L horizontal-opposed DOHC engine with a 6-speed manual transmission, fun is at the forefront of the driver as this 2-door coupe is very low to the ground, fun to drive and an experience to ride in. In the Subaru stable, the counterpart to the BRZ-tS shares platforms with Toyota’s GT86. As these two manufacturers developed these 2+2 sports cars together, Subaru assembled them in their Gunma, Japan plant.
Riding on 18-inch wheels, feeling every imperfection and bump in the road is common. For consumers who enjoy riding low and enjoying the cockpit style interior, the BRZ is easily a great choice. But for a full framed 6’2” male, this was difficult to get in and out of, and long distances were slightly uncomfortable.
While this coupe grants a near-instantaneous response that provide a rigid feel and lightweight structure, the overall usage of the vehicle is small and cockpit-like. Performance and handling are easily what makes the most out of this rightly priced, 2+2, while appeal, sightlines, aesthetics, and enjoyment top the chart for 2+2 category. While the BRZ appeals to those in the younger generational category, Subaru expands their brand away from the all-wheel drive, nature-loving, pet-friendly mantra they are used to with the BRZ and offers Subaru brand lovers something different than the potent, more expensive 4-door WRX.
