What should I look for when buying a used 2015 Subaru BRZ?

At 61.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been modified or tracked. Focus on overall condition, signs of hard use, and whether the car still feels tight and well sorted on the road.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The standard trim comes with automatic climate control, HID headlights, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, SiriusXM Radio, and Bluetooth integration, while the Limited adds heated seats, keyless access/start, heated mirrors, leather, a spoiler, and fog lamps.
• Powertrain: The BRZ uses a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 200 hp, and the expert review notes that it is built around a responsive motor and a strong power band rather than straight-line speed.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes front, side, and side-curtain airbags, antilock brakes, and defeatable traction and stability control.
• Infotainment: The car uses a 6.1-inch touchscreen system, and the expert review says it includes SiriusXM Radio and Bluetooth integration.
• Fuel efficiency: The BRZ is rated at 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.

Which 2015 Subaru BRZ trim should I buy?

The 2015 Subaru BRZ is offered in 2 trim levels: standard and Limited.

Here's the short version:

• standard: This is the value play if you want the BRZ’s core driving experience without paying for extras. You still get automatic climate control, HID headlights, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, SiriusXM Radio, and Bluetooth integration, so it covers the essentials well for an enthusiast-focused coupe.
• Limited: This is the better choice if you want the more complete daily-driver package. It adds heated seats, keyless access/start, heated mirrors, leather, a spoiler, and fog lamps, making it the best-value trim for shoppers who want the BRZ to feel a little more polished.

The safety content notes that the BRZ comes standard with front, side, and side-curtain airbags, antilock brakes, and defeatable traction and stability control.

What is the 2015 Subaru BRZ's resale value?

The current average of $15,574 sits slightly above last year's $15,386.

That modest increase suggests the BRZ has held value reasonably well for a niche sports car. Demand appears steady rather than overheated, which is a good sign if you plan to sell later.

Because the model appeals to enthusiasts who value handling and driver involvement, clean examples should continue to attract interest. Cars with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2015 Subaru BRZ safe?

The BRZ earns Acceptable ratings from IIHS and four-star ratings from NHTSA.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

The BRZ comes standard with front, side, and side-curtain airbags, antilock brakes, and defeatable traction and stability control. The safety testing also notes a shorter-than-115-foot stop from 60 mph, which is a strong result for the class.

One caveat is that the crash results were not top-tier across the board, so you should not treat this as a standout safety leader. If safety is a top priority, pay close attention to the car’s condition and make sure all standard safety equipment is intact and functioning properly.

Should I buy a 2015 Subaru BRZ or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2015 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2015 if:

• 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.23% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Expert or safety highlight specific to this year from the summary: it adds new suspension dampers, a sharkfin antenna, fresh exhaust tips, and an all-new limited-edition trim.

The bottom line: The 2015 BRZ is the right pick if you want the sharper, enthusiast-focused version of this sports coupe and you value handling over raw speed. If you are more price-sensitive, you can still shop nearby years, but the 2015 stands out for its updated suspension tuning and strong owner satisfaction.

How does the 2015 Subaru BRZ compare to the 2015 Ford Mustang?

Our experts score the 2015 Subaru BRZ 7.8/10 and the 2015 Ford Mustang 7.3/10.

The BRZ is the better choice if you care most about balance, handling, and a lightweight, driver-focused feel. The Mustang brings much more power and a lower starting MSRP, but it also has a higher average used price and a lower accident-free share in the comparison data.

If you want the more engaging sports car for winding roads, the BRZ has the edge. If you want stronger straight-line performance and a broader market of listings, the Mustang is the more conventional alternative.
