Detailed analysis of the Subaru BRZ 2.0i 6AT Executive · 200 CV (2017)
General description
The 2017 Subaru BRZ 2.0i 6AT Executive is a coupe that embodies the essence of pure driving. With a 200 hp boxer engine and rear-wheel drive, this vehicle was designed for those seeking a visceral connection with the road. Its price of €32,650 positioned it as an attractive option for enthusiasts, offering a sporty driving experience without a prohibitive cost.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the BRZ, the sensation is one of absolute control and agility. Its low center of gravity and McPherson front suspension combined with a deformable parallelogram rear provide exceptional stability in corners. The electric steering, although not speed-sensitive, is precise and communicative, allowing you to feel every nuance of the asphalt. The 200 hp engine, which reaches its maximum power at 7000 rpm, invites you to stretch the gears, while the 205 Nm of torque at 6400 rpm ensures an energetic response. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h, while not supercar figures, are more than enough to enjoy an exciting and fun drive. The 6-speed automatic transmission with torque converter offers smooth and fast shifts, complementing the sporty experience.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Subaru BRZ is a statement of intent. Its fluid lines and two-door coupe silhouette convey dynamism and sportiness. With a length of 4240 mm, a width of 1775 mm, and a height of just 1320 mm, its presence is compact and athletic. The 17-inch wheels with 215/45 R17 tires, both front and rear, fill the wheel arches, accentuating its sporty character. The interior, although functional, is driver-focused, with sports seats and ergonomics designed for driving. Despite being a 2+2, the rear seats are testimonial, prioritizing space for the front occupants and the 243-liter trunk, sufficient for a weekend's luggage.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2017 BRZ focuses on the essentials for driving. Its 1998 cc boxer engine, with mixed direct/indirect injection, is an example of Subaru engineering, offering a balance between performance and efficiency. Rear-wheel drive is a fundamental pillar of its sporty philosophy. In terms of safety, it features ventilated disc brakes of 294 mm at the front and 290 mm at the rear, guaranteeing powerful and safe braking. Although it does not incorporate the latest driving aids of more modern models, its technology is aimed at maximizing the driving experience.
Competition
The Subaru BRZ competes in a very specific market niche, where driving fun and connection with the machine are priorities. Its main rivals include the Mazda MX-5, for its lightness and agility, and the Toyota GT86, with which it shares platform and engine, being practically the same car with slight aesthetic and tuning differences. Other possible contenders, although with a slightly different approach, could be the Nissan 370Z or even more sporty versions of compacts like the Volkswagen Golf GTI, although the latter do not offer the same longitudinal front engine and rear-wheel drive configuration.
Conclusion
The 2017 Subaru BRZ 2.0i 6AT Executive is a car for purists. It does not seek to be the fastest in a straight line or the most luxurious, but to offer an authentic and rewarding driving experience. Its timeless design, boxer engine, and rear-wheel drive make it an ideal option for those who value the connection between the driver and the road above all else. It is a car that invites you to drive, to enjoy every curve, and to feel the thrill of controlled speed. A gem for sports driving enthusiasts.
