US News and World Report has awarded the new wagon its “2015 Best Wagon for the Money” award.

They take into account the opinions of the automotive press about a car's performance, interior features and interior comfort, along with reliability and safety ratings.

2015 Subaru BRZ

The 2015 Subaru BRZ has been the only car in the Subaru lineup that hasn’t seen an increase in sales. Interest has cooled and BRZ sales have taken a nose dive here in the U.S. It didn’t stop Consumer Guide Automotive from awarding the Subaru BRZ sports coupe with a “Best Buy Award” in the Sporty/Performance Car category. BRZ is due for a refresh, and still the sporty rear-drive model picks up its second consecutive win in the category. Because the BRZ is an affordable sports car, Editors of Consumer Guide Automotive deemed the Subaru coupe a good dollar value compared to others in the class.

Subaru keeps getting awards from the automotive press and setting record sales numbers with consumers. The 2015 Legacy, 2015 Outback and 2015 BRZ are the latest to be honored at the Chicago Auto Show.
