More space

Brembo brakes
Bbs wheels
Moonroof
Leather
Harmon kardon audio system
Etc.........

It handles much better then my frs too.





I love boost!!!!!!
Thank you for the review sir. For 10k more, it makes too much sense to drive the STI, or for the same price as the BR-Z, you can buy FA20DIT in WRX, which is amazing as well

So I take it you think wheel spin and oversteer = doesn't handle as well? I'd rather have a 300hp BRZ than a 300hp STI...

I rode in a friend's STI (albeit the prev generation).
One thing I noticed: going over the same broken roads and bumps that I drive through on a daily basis, his suspension seems much less compliant to the point of being uncomfortable (both to sit in, and to hear as we crashed over the potholes and bumps).
Similar bumps do feel a lot less punishing in the BRZ (possibly because of that low CoG which might allow the engineers to get away with less stiff springs)
