In most cases, no, the Subaru BRZ isn’t what we would consider to be a good first car, as they are usually out of the budget of most first-time buyers and require a fair bit of skill that many first-time drivers don’t have yet—especially those who didn’t learn on a stick-shift.
Of course, if you have a larger budget to work with and have ample experience driving vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the Subaru BRZ may very well be a good first car for you.
Hopefully this provides a little perspective on the matter!
