FAQs

What are the best Subaru sports cars?

There are only two models to choose from currently: the racier 2-door BRZ or the fun everyday 4-door WRX. Both are available with the engaging 6-speed manual, so it all comes down to how often you plan on driving the car and if you will have another, more practical car for your daily commute. The WRX is also better suited to colder climate regions thanks to its standard AWD.

What is the fastest Subaru sports car?

The WRX has a bit more raw power than the BRZ - 271 hp as opposed to 228 hp - but it doesn’t handle as nimbly. That being said, both cars are able to sprint from 0-60 mph in under six seconds. The point of Subaru sports cars, however, is to be fun to drive, and not necessarily to be the quickest or fastest.

What is the price of a new Subaru sports car?

The low price of a Subaru sports car is one of its most appealing qualities, and you can pick up either of the two models for around $30k, though the WRX sedan will cost you a grand or so more than the BRZ.

Are Subaru sports cars reliable?

Subaru has one of the highest ratings among all automakers in the US with regard to reliability. However, its warranty plan is only average.
