Getting confuse: Red BRZ vs Red FR-S
Hi guys. I got pretty confuse with my decision. Which one do you think is much better, a red BRZ or FR-S?
Thank you guys. Really appreciate your help in making my decision! |

Why does the color matter if you are asking which car is better?
The color / paint code is the same regardless of subaru/toyota. |

What's your budget first and foremost. What can you comfortably afford? And if you can afford both. Do you like amenities like HIDs, NAVI, Leather/Alcantara, Heated Seats, DUAL HVAC, or do you prefer simplicity above all else? Just drive.

Mostly just preference and a small bit of goodies that the BRZ offers like stated above.
I could live without ALL of those options so I went FR-S. The FR-S also has a better front bumper

The price tag doesn't really matter for me. In fact, I'm close to finalizing a lightning red BRZ but have to wait till January but I also have an option fo fire red FR-S that is available right away. That's why I'm asking. I don't care about the climate control. I can put my own HID and nav in FR-S. One more thing, I got the offer for the FR-S that has leather covered seats and upgrade size rims for much cheaper than the offer that I got for BRZ. There is after market for LED running light in FR-S, right? I'm totally agree with you Synack! FR-S has better front bumper! |

I've got a red FR-S coming. I didn't check the red color on the BRZ.

Red looks better on the FR-S in my opinion since it's front is more aggressive. I like the 'classier' colors on the BRZ like Galaxy Blue and Dark Gunmetal.
It's all a very small difference though. You'll more than likely be happy with whatever choice you make.

Comparing between the FR-S and BRZ limited, here's what I thought:
Exterior = FR-S (front bumper, fender badge, wingless) Interior = FR-S (BRZ is more upscale, but I prefer the way the FR-S looks oddly) Features = BRZ (HIDs, dual/auto climate control, heated seats, nav) Price = FR-S Just have to decide which car fits your preferences better. |

That is a total personal preference question. I went FRS because I like the front bumper better and I can live without all the BRZ extras or add them in later from the aftermarket cheaper.
