2024 Subaru BRZ

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 BRZ.

Transmission Automatic (S6)

The 2024 Subaru BRZ, equipped with an automatic (S6) transmission, represents the latest iteration of the model’s powertrain. It achieves 21/30/25 mpg in EPA combined city, highway and mixed driving cycles. With only two owner complaints recorded — both concerning the engine and fuel/propulsion system — and no recalls, the 2024 version sits at the low end of a complaint history that peaked in 2013 with 63 reports and reached a nadir of one complaint in 2018, underscoring its improved reliability.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 6,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 6,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Subaru BRZ shows only two complaints and no recalls, a sharp drop from the 10 complaints and one recall recorded in 2022. Earlier years in the generation had higher complaints—63 in 2013, then a steep decline to single digits through 2018—yet recalls appeared in 2013, 2018, 2019, and 2022. The 2024 model sits at the low end of this trend, with complaints concentrated in Engine/Fuel and Unknown/Other areas, and no crash or fire complaints reported. The absence of recalls and a record of minimal complaints suggests the 2024 BRZ is a solid choice, though a used vehicle’s specific history should still be verified. Overall, 2024 appears to be a good year to buy a used BRZ.
