The SUBARU BRZ (2012-18) is a compact, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe, rather than a practical hatchback or SUV. In the UK it occupies an appealing niche: an attainable, driver-focused two-door with four seats, though its rear seats are best treated as occasional space. It shares much with the Toyota GT86, making it a familiar choice among affordable sports-car shoppers. mycarcheck.com recorded 687 look-ups covering 268 distinct VINs, a useful sample of used-car interest. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £13,000 and average recorded mileage of 55,000 miles. Typical annual mileage is relatively low at 5,000 miles, while cars have averaged around 2.7 previous keepers. Its engaging drive and shape suit enthusiasts and weekend trips, but limited rear-seat and boot space make it less suited to family duties. Compared with a Mazda MX-5, the SUBARU BRZ offers a fixed-roof alternative, prized for balanced handling and lively character rather than outright speed.
