2024 Subaru BRZ tS Has Upgraded Suspension, Brakes.

While every model comes standard with a limited-slip rear differential, the Premium model rolls on a set of 17-inch wheels, while the higher-performance Limited wears 18-inchers. Its ride quality is on the firm side but it contributes to the car's playfulness. Our driving impressions revealed tons of steering feedback, sure-footed cornering composure, and the ability to swing the tail out. Our test car tipped the scales at 2843 pounds, which is a little heavier than the last BRZ but still quite svelte by today's sports-car standards.

That's nearly a full second quicker to 60 mph than the previous-gen BRZ tS. But it does improve acceleration times significantly: The six-speed manual BRZ Limited we tested sprang to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds and reached the quarter-mile in 13.9 seconds at 101 mph. The 2.4-liter is more responsive than the previous model's 2.0-liter engine, even if it's not enough to make the BRZ the quickest car in town. Power is routed to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic transmission. Under the hood of the BRZ is a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter flat-four engine with 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual is standard and is the transmission best suited for Subaru's sports car, but those who prefer an automatic can get one for $1500. We'd spring for the Limited, as it adds desirable features such as 18-inch aluminum wheels, summer tires, and blind-spot monitoring. Subaru offers the 2023 BRZ in two trim levels: Premium and Limited.
