• 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 most complete mix of comfort, tech, and safety features.

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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2024 model is at −5.56% versus a year ago, and the 2017 model is at −4.14%.
• Deal availability: The 2024 model has 36.8% good and great deals, and the 2017 model has 30.7%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $28,965. The Subaru BRZ offers a balanced, rear-wheel-drive driving character that makes it especially appealing if you want a sports car that feels playful and precise.

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.
