The 2019 Subaru BRZ is a pretty decent sports car that displays stable control, steady steering, and a powerful engine for enthusiasts seeking thrill. It comes equipped with an infotainment system and a safety feature that is within the standards.
The 2020 FIAT 124 Spider is a reliable sports car that offers steady handling, a smooth ride, and a turbocharged engine that still comes with great fuel efficiency. Its interior is sleek and comes equipped with a touchscreen and a handful of safety features.
Design & Style
The 2019 Subaru BRZ comes with 4 seats that are in a leather finish. It has heated front seats with a steering wheel that is wrapped in leather which is standard. This model focuses more on functionality over extravagance so materials that are used for its interior may not be exclusive but they are long-lasting. The trimmings come with red stitches for a touch of class. Its trunk supports 6.9 cubic foot of space with it extending further if its rear seats are folded.
The 2020 FIAT 124 Spider is furnished with 2 seats upholstered in cloth which are well-cushioned to provide good comfort throughout the journey. However, the cabin space is pretty cramped so there might be an issue for tall drivers and also passengers with the lack of headroom. Its interior is designed with a minimalist concept and plastics that are soft to the touch make the basic interior component. Its trunk space runs low at only 4.9 cubic feet which is barely enough for a whole week’s worth of groceries.
Technology & Safety
The 2019 Subaru BRZ is equipped with the standard tech accessory package that comprises of an infotainment system, 7-inch touchscreen, Apple/Android platform, Bluetooth, navigation, USB ports, radio, and stereo. As for safety, this car comes equipped with a rearview camera.

Performance

The 2020 FIAT 124 Spider can produce 160 horsepower on a turbocharged 1.4L 4-cylinder engine with a 6-speed manual transmission on a rear-wheel drive mode. It cruises smoothly with its suspension absorbing all the bumps on the road.
The Bottom Line
