I’ve always liked Subarus. I don’t own one, largely because I got into EVs and my family grew too big for the ones I really liked. As a kid, I watched some rally races on cable. While I know now that those cars had very little in common with the Impreza WRX sitting on dealer lots, I did notice that their factory offerings were pretty well planted in turns. While the people who weren’t into cars until EVs came around might not know this, this was no accident.
But at the same time, we do have to look at facts in context. Yes, the BRZ is built in the same factory as the Toyota 86, but it’s a Subaru factory. It also uses the Boxer engine, giving it the low center of gravity you’d expect from a Subaru. Finally, it’s rear-drive and not front-drive, and Subaru’s AWD systems tend to give a lot more rear power than other AWD systems. Plus, the BRZ wasn’t built for getting groceries in snowy climates like most other Subarus.
Some readers have probably already put two-and-two together, but I do need to spell this out for the people who aren’t big automotive tech nerds on both the EV and ICE sides. Basically, there are two main things a boxer engine driving a symmetrical all-wheel-drive system does: it gives you a low center of gravity and it gives you full-time power to the rear wheels in a balanced fashion.
