The 2024 Subaru BRZ Deserves a Spot in Your Garage
Do you long for the feeling of cruising down the highway with the windows down in a sporty coupe and your favorite person/pet/shopping bag sitting in the passenger seat? What about the thrill of straightening some curves in the road? Maybe you just miss the visceral feeling when you manually shift your car.
If any of those driving experiences ignite a sense of passion in you, it’s a must that you consider the 2024 Subaru BRZ as your next car and talk with the McCarthy Subaru of Lawrence team about a test drive in one as soon as possible.
The 2024 Subaru BRZ sports car is one of the best sports cars on the market in 2024 and the folks at Car and Driver agreed when they named it one of the 10 Best Cars for 2024. That’s the third year in a row they’ve chosen the BRZ for that esteemed award and our Subaru dealership in Lawrence, KS is pumped at the chance to show you how amazing this Subaru Sports Coupe is and why it’s a delightful vehicle to drive every day.
Your Manual Subaru Sports Car
Finding a vehicle with a manual transmission these days can be a tough thing (unless you live in Europe where your favorite blogger rented a 6-speed manual SUV for 2 weeks) as most vehicles in the US are equipped with automatic transmissions that take care of the shifting for you. The 2024 Subaru BRZ bucks that trend in an absolutely necessary effort to keep manual shifting alive in the US market, and features a 6-speed manual transmission as standard equipment.
- Premium BRZ – 6-speed manual transmission only
- Limited BRZ – choose between a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission
- tS BRZ – 6-speed manual transmission only
Regardless of your transmission preference, your Subaru BRZ will be powered by a 2.4 liter flat-four engine which produces 228 horsepower, 184 lb.-ft. of torque, and loves to be wrung out. Automotive journalists are estimating the 0 – 60 sprint of this affordable Subaru sports car to take about 5.4 seconds with the manual transmission, which is plenty fast for a 4 cylinder vehicle without a turbocharger.
Is the 2024 BRZ a RWD Subaru?
Subaru and All Wheel Drive are synonymous – they go hand in hand for many automotive shoppers near Lawrence, Kansas. The 2024 Subaru BRZ defies expectations again by only hitting the road on a platform featuring rear wheel drive. There is no option for All Wheel Drive for this compelling Subaru sporty coupe.
Why would Subaru change things up so much with the BRZ? We can’t speak for their engineers, but the McCarthy Subaru of Lawrence team likes to think it comes down to having specific types of fun (in a safe, legal, and responsible manner!)
- Doing burnouts
- Breaking the rear end loose on occasion
- Drifting around a closed track
- Donuts in an empty snow-covered parking lot on a quiet night
There is tremendous fun to be had in any vehicle with an engine in the front, power to the rear wheels, and a light curb weight. (The BRZ comes in under 2,900 lbs. and that’s pretty light these days!)
The team at our Lawrence, KS Subaru dealership loves every Subaru and will be happy to discuss AWD and RWD variants whenever you’d like. Call us today to arrange a demonstration.
