I will say that the interior of the BRZ Limited is more upscale than even the Evo X MR Touring's interior, which is pretty decent in itself with it being all-leather, but again, everything else looks nicer in the BRZ. But when talking about the BRZ Premium (and FR-S, since the interiors are nearly identical), then the Evo X has the edge.

However, the leather/alcantara material used in the Evo X MR (non-Touring) is mediocre and was a step down from the leather/alcantara used in the Evo IX. It's a trend between the two... from the wing no longer being carbon fiber to the interior being better looking than before but using cheaper materials all around, particularly on the steering wheel, seats and even the shift boot.
