Detailed analysis of the Subaru BRZ Executive Aut. · 200 CV (2012-2013)
General description
The 2012 Subaru BRZ is a sports coupe that entered the market with the promise of offering a pure and exciting driving experience. Developed in collaboration with Toyota, this model is distinguished by its 200 HP boxer engine, rear-wheel drive, and a design that prioritizes lightness and a low center of gravity. It is a car designed for driving enthusiasts, those who seek to feel every curve and every acceleration.
Driving experience
Driving the Subaru BRZ is a visceral experience. Its 200 HP engine, although not the most powerful on the market, feels alive and responds immediately, especially at high revolutions. The 6-speed automatic gearbox, while not the most purist option, offers smooth and fast transitions that allow you to maintain the pace. Rear-wheel drive and a balanced chassis make every turn a delight, transmitting a direct connection to the road to the driver. It is a car that invites fun, to explore the limits of grip with confidence and a smile on your face. The steering is precise and communicative, and the ventilated disc brakes on both axles offer excellent stopping power. It is a car that makes you feel part of the machine, an extension of your own intentions.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2012 Subaru BRZ is a statement of intent. Its sharp lines and low, wide silhouette evoke sportiness and agility. With a length of 4240 mm and a height of just 1285 mm, its presence on the road is unmistakable. The sharp headlights and hexagonal grille give it an aggressive look, while the rear, with its LED taillights and dual exhaust, reinforces its sporty character. The interior, although functional, is designed for the driver, with sports seats that offer excellent grip and clear instrumentation oriented to essential driving information. It is a design that, without being ostentatious, radiates dynamism and purpose.
Technology and features
At the heart of the 2012 Subaru BRZ we find a 1998 cc gasoline boxer engine, with 4 cylinders and 16 valves, delivering 200 HP at 7000 rpm and a torque of 205 Nm at 6400 rpm. This engine, with mixed direct/indirect injection, is an example of engineering that seeks efficiency and performance. The 6-speed automatic transmission with torque converter effectively manages power, allowing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h. As for the suspension, it has a McPherson scheme at the front and a deformable parallelogram at the rear, both with a stabilizer bar, which contributes to its excellent dynamic behavior. The rack and pinion steering with electric assistance is precise and speed-sensitive. Despite its sporty focus, the BRZ achieves a combined consumption of 7.1 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 164 g/km, which gives it the environmental label C.
Competition
The 2012 Subaru BRZ faces direct rivals such as the Mazda MX-5, which offers a similar driving experience but in convertible format, and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, which opts for greater power. Other indirect competitors could be the Volkswagen Scirocco or even sportier versions of compacts such as the Renault Mégane RS, although the latter with a front-wheel drive approach. The BRZ stands out from all of them for its unique combination of boxer engine, rear-wheel drive and a purely sporty design at a competitive price.
Conclusion
The 2012 Subaru BRZ is a car that delivers on its promise: pure driving fun. It is not the most powerful, nor the most luxurious, but its balance, agility and the connection it establishes with the driver make it an exceptional option for those who value the driving experience above all else. Its timeless design and reliable mechanics make it a very attractive proposition for enthusiasts. It is a car that invites you to hit the road and enjoy every kilometer, a true gem for purists.
