About the Subaru BRZ / GR86 (Gen 2)

The second-generation BRZ and GR86 fixed the one criticism everyone made of the original: the torque dip. The 2.4-litre FA24 replaced the 2.0, output rose to 234 hp, and the flat spot between 3000 and 4500 rpm disappeared. The chassis got a stiffer shell and revised geometry, and the recipe โ€” light, rear-drive, naturally aspirated, manual โ€” stayed intact.

Investment Grade ยท Sensible

The Subaru BRZ / GR86 (Gen 2) (2021-) is a sensible buy rather than a speculative one: bulletproof reliability (88/10) that owners routinely daily-drive, low running costs (48/10 maintenance), and parts remain widely available (82/10) make the RWD package easy to live with. Values are up a healthy +5.0% year-on-year, and a rarity score of 25/100 means there is usually plenty of choice on the market, so patience usually beats urgency here. The upside is modest, but the cost of ownership is predictable and the driving experience is the real return.

Price estimates are based on market research and recent sales data. Values fluctuate based on condition, mileage, and market demand. Not financial advice.
