Drawn from 37 comments on MotorMouth's BRZ videos posted since 2023 on the MotorMouth YouTube channel. Question themes sit apart from verified vehicle facts and help prepare a more useful test drive.
Price and value come up in 10 comments, the most of any theme. Subaru Canada prices the 2026 BRZ at $33,395 for the BRZ, $37,895 for the Sport-tech, $37,895 for the tS and $39,495 MSRP for the Kaminari Edition.
Ask for the all-in price with freight and fees, and get an insurance quote before you choose a trim.
Engine and power come up in 8 comments. Every 2026 BRZ uses a 2.4-litre SUBARU BOXER engine with 228 hp, driving the rear wheels, according to Subaru Canada. One viewer pointed out the injection system: "Not simply direct injection, the GR86's (/BRZ's) Subaru engine uses Toyota's D-4S (as shown with the hood raised) combined port- plus direct injection."
Rev it out on a safe stretch of road to feel the top end, and ask the dealer which fuel grade Subaru recommends.
Transmissions come up in 7 comments. Subaru Canada's 2026 release describes a six-speed close-ratio manual and does not list transmissions trim by trim, so ask the dealer which 2026 trims offer an automatic.
If you can, drive both a manual and an automatic BRZ, and confirm the transmission on the exact car you are pricing.
The BRZ is a rear-wheel-drive 2+2 coupe. The 2026 Kaminari Edition, built on the tS, has Brembo high-performance brakes with gold-painted calipers, Hitachi-Astemo front dampers and an STI flexible V-bar under the hood. A second-generation BRZ owner wrote: "I went from 2 WRXs and found instant fun in the RWD second gen BRZ driving dynamics, so engaging"
Choose a test route with a few curves, and compare the tS with the base BRZ if you can.
Styling comes up in 9 comments. The 2026 Kaminari Edition, whose name translates to lightning, is the second limited-edition BRZ of the current generation after the 2025 Murasaki Edition. Built on the tS, it has exclusive Sunrise Yellow paint, a gloss black low-profile spoiler, fender vent accents, 10-spoke 18-inch matte black alloy wheels and yellow accents on black leather and Ultrasuede seats. Subaru Canada limited it to 50 units.
Ask your dealer early whether a Kaminari Edition allocation is available, since Subaru Canada limited it to 50 units.
All-wheel drive and winter driving come up in 5 comments. The BRZ is rear-wheel drive, and Subaru Canada's 2026 release does not list tire types by trim.
If you plan to drive it year-round, budget for a set of winter tires on separate wheels and ask the dealer which sizes fit.
