The Subaru BRZ Coupé is not the most powerful sports car. It’s not one of the cheapest coupes you’ll find on a dealer lot. And it’s not even that popular as far as performance cars go. But it’s one of the most likeable everyday sports cars out there. The 2022 Subaru BRZ Limited is an affordable, lightweight, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that’s fun and comfortable.
Several reviewers have called the 2022 BRZ the best first sports car you can buy. Read on to see why.
The improvements of the new 2022 BRZ make it a more competitive sports car
The history of the Subaru BRZ is quite short – only about 10 years so far – and in that time it has stayed about the same. Subaru’s redesign for the second generation of the BRZ, however, has made the BRZ Limited a particularly compelling choice.
The Subaru BRZ’s improved specifications are thanks to the new 2.4-liter engine, which increases power but not torque. Enthusiasts were hoping for a turbo engine for the second generation, but that hasn’t happened yet. This four-cylinder engine is found in both the Premium and Limited BRZ and helps this small sports coupe compete against competitors like the upcoming 2023 Honda Civic Type R.
The BRZ Limited 2022 price starts at $30,495, but you can find a cheaper model in the Premium which starts at $27,995.
Redline Reviews rates the 2022 Subaru BRZ Limited as a must-see.

Redline Reviews’ Sofyan Bey called the 2022 BRZ Limited a must-see sports car. While the latest Subaru coupe received a “major refresh” rather than a total redesign, he said, it brought welcome improvements without changing the car’s soul.
While it’s not the most powerful sports car, the BRZ offers something many other high-performance cars lack – accessibility. Bey calls the new Subaru BRZ Limited Coupe “an easy car to drive,” but was clearly enjoying himself behind the wheel.
Subaru BRZ Limited interior is ‘not luxurious’
While the 2022 Subaru BRZ Limited is the fully loaded model, Bey claims its interior is “certainly not luxurious — not even the most refined.” This is somewhat surprising given the $30,000 sticker price for the Limited. However, the Redline Reviews host says the BRZ Limited’s interior “has everything that younger buyers are looking for”.
And it’s a far cry from barebones. The sleek, sleek cabin features leather and suede at most touch points, with premium audio and a wide touchscreen for radio and smartphone media. Integrated safety and driver assistance features helped the 2022 BRZ Limited earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.
2022 Subaru BRZ Limited vs Premium
What is the difference between Subaru BRZ Limited and Premium? Check out a few trim level comparison highlights:
- The BRZ Premium comes standard with cloth seat upholstery
- The BRZ Limited offers standard leather and Ultrasuede® upholstery
- The more expensive Limited trim level offers a more advanced sound system
- Both BRZ trim levels come standard with a manual transmission – an automatic is available
In the video above, Bey points out that the 2022 BRZ Premium “is loaded with most of the features you could want.” However, it’s only a few thousand more to upgrade to the BRZ Limited and get some extra niceties.
If you’re looking for more, the aftermarket offers thousands of options for a customized Subaru BRZ.
