Although vehicles are designed to move people from one place to another, this does not mean they have to provide a boring ride. Subaru understands this and engineered the 2017 Subaru BRZ near Hammond LA to offer a great driving experience. While this company is known for creating vehicles that can handle all weather conditions and do so in a practical manner, they have gone outside the box with the BRZ. First and foremost, this vehicle only comes in a rear-wheel drive version, a significant deviation from other vehicles in the manufacturer's lineup. They didn't stop here, however. This vehicle truly differs in numerous ways from the standard Subaru and drivers love that it does.
What Is New For This Model Year
The 2017 Subaru BRZ has undergone major updates in the past year. The power of this vehicle has increased slightly, the styling has been improved upon, and the LED headlights now function automatically.
