TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Ford Mustang has natural agility, but new choices bring performance to every price point.

Like a featherweight champion, the 2020 Subaru BRZ proves lighter and smaller can sometimes be superior.

TCC Likes

Lots of safety features for the class
Design plays of Mustang’s greatest hits
Magnetic dampers aid both ride and handling

Scalpel-precise handling
Back-to-basics sports car
Return of track-ready tS

TCC Dislikes

4-cylinder seems wrong to muscle-car fans
Cockpit would benefit from materials upgrade
Tiny rear seat

Not quite enough power
Steeper cost of entry this year
Puny back seat
