Overview
The BRZ lost its base model for 2026, jumping to $37,055 — a $2,675 increase that makes the affordable sports car significantly less affordable. At this price, the GR86 is the better value (it starts around $30K), and the Mustang EcoBoost offers more power. The BRZ's driving dynamics remain exceptional, but the value proposition has weakened.
