Limited owners, do you feel the extra goodies are worth it?

Well either way I've never cared about seat material, so it was essentially a non-factor in my personal choice. Leather was never considered an upgrade for me, I'd take a better audio system over that any day. But everyone likes something different, he may care more.

That's funny because I almost think the Scion seats are too grippy, it's like cloth that grabs your clothes with friction. I guess they both did well with the seats.

[Brzetto]

Yes I do.

[Calin]

To me, the seats alone were worth the extra money. If I couldn't have gotten a Limited model, I probably would have just bought a totally different car.

I'm happy with my Limited purchase. So many features for a bit of cash.

hmmmm... I guess i could eat out a bit less.

You should shop around. You should be able to get a BRZ Limited manual shipped to your door for around $27K before tag, tax, and license fees.

Should only be about $55 a month more over 36 months vs a base FR-S assuming they sell for $25K. I know there are people here that have paid well under $27K for a BRZ Limited manual.

I do agree that I wouldn't say I hate it if I had it but I would still miss turning a physical key.

And this is the main reason, if you're making payments it's only a few bucks more/month.

To be honest I got a premium because I was still in school and unemployed at the time of pre-order so I just got the cheapest one I could get without dealing with my AWFUL toyota dealership. I was expecting to already struggle to pay for the premium so no point in having the limited (yes this means I should have stayed away altogether).

Regardless, the alcantara and center stack alone make it worth it. I would have swapped out the trunk with a BRZ premium or FRS owner and then just dealt with the push start. Everything else I like. Either way, I have no regrets

[Gunman]

I've never looked back, and thought "I should have saved some money and got the premium". Completely happy with the limited.

Asking BRZ Limited owners to justify (in their mind) the extra cost is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Of course we're going to say it's worth it...

The difference in price for me was $25 (more) a month for a BRZ Limited vs a BRZ Premium. Dealer seemed much more willing to move the Limited's off the lot. Too be honest, I was not a fan of the spoiler but there was not a single Premium at either local dealer that did not have it. Dealers claimed they were installed at port...

This is a really interesting point for me. When I first saw it in print, I was like: "That's ugly as balls. I hope I can get an FR-S with leather/alcantara." But when I saw it in person, it looked pretty good, so I figured why the hell not get the Limited!

Oh and I got it in automatic because it's more BALLER. Only poor people can't afford an auto cause it's $$$$.

Wait wait wut? I thought BRZ HID Headlights were standard in both, premium and Limited?

I'm getting the Limited anyways, but is that right? I thought HID Headlights with LEDs built in were standard in all BRZs. Similar to Nav.?

[Pete156]

HID - yes

Alcantara - yes

Keyless - yes

Fogs - No

Wing - NOPE

ALL IN ALL - YES

The FR-S is my first push start car... only had it 3 weeks, and I already find pulling my keys out of my pocket every time I use my bimmer a nuisance...

[Frstorm]

Not trying to get in a pissing contest, but I chose the frs due to the sides of the car and front bumper not price. Not top mention I prefer the brand of scion over those brand of Subaru. Yes same car but brz is a Subaru and frs is a scion. Cost was not a consideration for me and for 2600 bucks in after markets I have everything the limited has that I could want plus some other things like tint, led strip which I prefer to fog lights, clear side markers. Oh, I can start my car in the winter when I'm still in my house. Posting this due to people saying why choose the frs over the brz on page 2
