http://PutnamSubaruofBurlingame.com/specials/index.htm 888-697-0962 The BRZ, which was co-developed with Toyota breaks with Subaru tradition in that rather than having the brand's expected all-wheel-drive system, it uses a lighter and more sporting rear-wheel-drive layout. It also uses a naturally aspirated engine rather than having a turbocharged mill expected of a Subaru performance model and with a curb weight just under 2,800 pounds, the 200 horses unleashed by its flat-4 boxer engine are enough. Besides, this car is more about straightening out curvy roads than ripping straight-line acceleration. Going with rear-wheel drive and the flat-4 engine allowed the powertrain to be set farther back and lower in the chassis. Factor in wonderfully communicative steering, and the result is a superbly balanced sports car that's one of the most rewarding to drive, regardless of cost.
