For the most part it's not an issue, but in my garage, I would definitely appreciate folding mirrors.

I guess I'm hesitant to see the complexity and cost added into the price of the car. I'd sooner ask for some performance goodies. As a stand-alone option from the factory, no worries.

There is no denying that they are nice. I just feel they are unnecessary in a car of this price point and purpose. Though I'd still like a sunroof. Saying they are a must is saying you want something else.

They are nice, but for this style of car? Unnecessary in my opinion. Just more things that break and add weight. Also, I personally do not like sunroofs. They always end up breaking in my experience.

That would suck if the Premium doesn't have an amp at all, because that probably means it doesn't have wiring run for said amp, and would be more difficult to tap into the stock system for adding aftermarket stuff. I have a wiring harness left over from my last BRZ. Would be really cool if I could reuse that. I guess we'll see. |

Now the question of if the wiring installed would be robust enough for aftermarket equipment would apply but the stuff should at least be there.

As for audio, neither one of us are audiophiles; I'll have to wait and see (er, hear) and at most upgrade some speakers.

The audio is 'ok I guess' but not good. Missing lots of midrange and all the bass. Sounds the opposite of rich lol. I am sure it won't surprise anyone that it is a big step down from the GTI's Panasonic (Fender branded) speakers.
I am definitely going to be getting a sub. I don't think I will take the trouble to replace the actual speakers but I would understand why if someone else did. My hope is that an 8" or 10" sub will bring it to "good enough".

If you find an easy sub that works with our current amp, I would be interested to know. I'm looking for the quickest and easiest way to get some bass and be happy with the stereo. The 1st gen sucked and I'm not going to just leave it be if it sounds like that.
