2014 Fr-s or wait until monogram series..

I'm planning on getting my first car(finally) in December of this year, and I can't decide whether I should just get the 2014 or wait for the monogram series. Thoughts?

Depends on what you want...but if you waited this long and are considering the Monogram. Just wait for it, otherwise if you're considering the 14 might as well buy a 13 for a cheaper price...

I would wait to see the price at least. It will just come down to whether or not you think the features are worth the price.

it's basically a series 10 (minus all the extra useless LED) or brz limited with your favorite color.

so it depends on what you want... would you pay 3 grand extra for

heated leather seat,
climate control
HID headlight
keyless car entry.
Bespoke unit.

My decision when I purchased my car is no, since I bought the car for it's driving experience.
but others opinion may vary

If you want all the GT86/BRZ features, wait for the monogram series. If you don't care about those features, get a new '13 for a discount. '13's and '14's aren't really different enough to pass up a discount on a '13.

The Monogram series is exactly everything I ever wanted in my FR-S, but at the same time I'm glad I would have already been driving my car for 6 months by the time these Monograms come out. I'll trade up when the power increase comes ALONG with all the features in the Monogram/86/BRZ.

^^^what he said. 2015 may bring the power increase. I would either wait until then, or get a 13 and save money. All depends if you want the extra bells and whistles and such.

Why not to buy BRZ Ltd. then? One may get more bargaining power while getting mainstream model rather than special edition.

I would wait for the monogram, not because of the features but because if you end up waiting for it, you'd be skipping winter.

Then when it comes out, if you're not happy with the price you can get a regular MY14 one.

Or just go with what people said about the MY13 year.

If I didn't have mine already, I'd wait for the monogram one. The HID headlights are so sexy, makes many FR-S owners secretly jealous. And people are paying a lot of money just for those lights.

HIDs are standard on all BRZ editions. FR-S is for those who needs barebone car, if you want luxury features - get BRZ.
