Even if you can't find one of these models, you'll love that every trim of the 2015 Subaru BRZ has a low-slung profile with sporty design accents.
5. Sporty engine
The rear-wheel-drive vehicle has a 2.0L horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine. It churns out 200 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. With the manual transmission, it can go from zero to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds. With the optional automatic transmission (with rev-matched downshifts) it can go from zero to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds.
