Is the Subaru BRZ a good car?

• Owners rate the Subaru BRZ between 4 and 5 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is most tied to how the car was driven and maintained, so a careful history check and a thorough pre-purchase inspection matter.

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

Across all model years, at 69.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: EyeSight driver-assist tech, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-sway warning, lead vehicle start alert, and automatic high beams.
• Infotainment: A standard 8-inch touchscreen and digital gauge cluster with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and SiriusXM satellite radio.
• Fuel efficiency: EPA fuel-economy ratings for the 2022 Subaru BRZ are 25 mpg combined (21 mpg city, 30 mpg highway) with the automatic transmission and 22 mpg combined (20 mpg city, 27 mpg highway) with the manual transmission.

Which Subaru BRZ trim should I buy?

The 2022 Subaru BRZ offers these trims:

• Premium: This is the entry trim, and it gives you the BRZ’s core rear-wheel-drive sports-car formula with a manual or automatic transmission, 17-inch wheels with Michelin Primacy tires, leather upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. It suits you if you want the most affordable way into the BRZ lineup.
• Limited: This trim adds 18-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, Ultrasuede with red accent stitching, dual-mode heaters, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, steering responsive headlights, and reverse automatic braking on automatic models. It is the best-value trim if you want the strongest mix of comfort, grip, and driver-assistance features.

What Subaru BRZ do most buyers choose?

The Subaru BRZ years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume years tend to be the easiest to shop because you get more listings to compare and a better chance of finding the color, trim, and condition you want. They also tend to attract more buyers because they sit near the sweet spot between newer features and used-car pricing.

What is the Subaru BRZ's resale value?

Most of the years shown are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you want to buy used. One year is essentially flat, and one is edging upward, so the BRZ’s pricing picture is mixed rather than uniformly falling.

The 2022 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2023, 2022, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Subaru BRZ safe?

• 2022: 7/10
• 2015: 7/10

The 2022 BRZ includes Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist tech on automatic-transmission models, and the Limited trim adds more driver-assistance equipment.

For the safest used buy, the 2015 and 2022 models both post the highest confirmed score of 7/10.

Should I buy a used Subaru BRZ now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2024 model is at −4.87% versus a year ago, and the 2022 model is at −0.05%.
• Deal availability: The 2024 model has 30.3% good and great deals, and the 2022 model has 29.8%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $28,594. The Subaru BRZ offers a balanced, rear-wheel-drive sports-car character that makes it especially rewarding if you value handling and driver engagement.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: As before, the 2022 BRZ uses a Subaru boxer-four engine with Toyota’s D-4S fuel-injection system, which combines port and direct injection, and the new 2.4-liter BRZ engine makes 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: A standard 8-inch touchscreen and digital gauge cluster replace the previous 7-inch touchscreen and analog gauges, and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and SiriusXM satellite radio are standard as well.
• Safety: The BRZ gets Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist tech for the first time, albeit only on automatic-transmission models, and the BRZ Limited adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and steering responsive headlights.
• Starting price: Pricing for the 2022 Subaru BRZ starts at $28,955 for the base Premium trim level with the manual transmission.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

How does the 2025 Subaru BRZ compare to the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata?

The BRZ gives you more power and a coupe body style, while the Miata brings a lower starting price and a much larger pool of listings. If you want the BRZ’s fixed-roof sports-coupe feel, the Subaru is the more focused choice; if you want more inventory and lower running-cost figures, the Mazda is the easier one to shop.
