EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in the updated second-gen version of a favorite – and it has a 6-speed manual transmission and rear wheel drive, and fits in with some other quick Japanese compacts.
The 2025 Subaru BRZ ts is a familiar 2+2 coupe shape with aggressive face, just enough aero, and updated with more details than when it was introduced in 2021. There’s functional side vents, 18-inch Michelin rubber on gray alloy wheels, and bronze Brembo brake calipers inside.

There’s grippy seats, a precise gearbox and just enough equipment to make commuting and travels fun. The back seats are better for he dog or stuff, the trunk roomy enough. And yes, there’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (not wireless), but no HD FM.
And its quick enough, as well as very agile – a good track day toy as well as commuter.
