Car Profiles - Subaru BRZ

SUBARU BRZ

Essentially the twin of the Toyota 86, only with some minor differences inside and out (without touching the engine). This one undercuts the top of the line twin brother by P20,000 whether you choose any transmission. If you have money to spare and likes exclusivity, this is it.

The Good: Light and finely tuned chassis
The Bad: Tight back seat

Price Range: P1,928,000
Our Rating: *****
