We are halfway through 2025 already, and with the sun dawning on June, you know it’s time for an all-new Supercars.com.GH Car of the Month. This time, we’ve decided to go down the sporty path. Here it is – the Subaru BRZ, and throughout this month, we are going to tell you all about it!
In a world where every company seems obsessed with building massive SUVs with 23-inch wheels, our car of the month – the Subaru BRZ – stands as a refreshing reminder of what pure driving pleasure should feel like. This lightweight, rear-wheel-drive coupe is the kind of sports car that makes you remember why you fell in love with driving in the first place!
Under that sleek aluminum hood sits a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter flat-four engine producing 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Now, those numbers might not sound earth-shattering compared to some of the German monsters we see cruising around Accra, but here’s the thing – the BRZ weighs just 2,843 pounds! This means every single horsepower counts, launching you from 0-60 mph in a respectable 5.4 seconds. More importantly, that low weight means the BRZ dances through corners like it’s possessed, making even your daily drive to the office feel like a track day.
What sets the BRZ apart from the sea of boring crossovers flooding our roads is its commitment to the driving experience. The six-speed manual transmission – and trust us, you want the manual – offers one of the best shift actions in the business, while the precise steering responds to your inputs with surgical accuracy. Want to have some fun? Turn off the traction control and this rear-drive beauty will happily let its tail step out, giving you that sideways action that makes driving truly exciting.
Despite its sports car credentials, the BRZ isn’t completely impractical either. You get a usable trunk, a tiny but usable back seat, and modern tech including an 8-inch infotainment screen with smartphone integration. The ride quality is firm but livable, making it perfectly suitable for navigating our sometimes challenging Ghanaian roads.
We are going to explore everything about the BRZ throughout this month, so if you’re excited, make sure to keep in touch with Supercars.com.GH!
