The two-door sports coupe has been awarded with the 2013 Car of the Year Special Award in Japan, the 10 Best Car and Driver Award and the IIHS 2012 Top Safety Pick. The judges composed of WardsAuto editors also recognized that the 2013 Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S both come well equipped for its price. Subaru has certainly come up with a winner with the new 2013 BRZ. This makes the third win for Subaru engines of Ward's prestigious "10 Best Engines" accolade for Subaru. The first award came in 2004, and the second being the 2010 award both with the Subaru "EJ25" 2.5-liter turbocharged Boxer engine. The new engine not only powers the sporty two-door BRZ, but also the jointly developed 2013 Scion FR-S/Toyota GT 86.
