Frs 10 series or 2014 ultramarine Frs

Hi, I'm pretty new here and this is my first time posting. So I just went to the dealer and there was a 10 series frs there ready for me to buy or order a ultramarine (color I prefer). Also I'm not a big fan of the 10 series paint but still like the keyless entry and headlights. I am at a cross road :/, what should I do?

get what YOU want... and only YOU will know what you want...

i went for a 10 series because i liked the stock headlights, keyless entry, dual climate control- and the fact that it was limited

Red FRS or Hot Lava or Raven if you don't mind washing ur car every week.
10 Series if you have money. Ultramarine color is alright. I was thinking of getting it too, but not until I saw it in person.

Whiteout? too many on the streets.

Red FRS + JDM headlights = hotness

I have the ultramarine and its great but if they have a 10 I say get it because it's not going to be there long. I'm no expert in these things but I think the 10 is going to be worth money to collectors. Also check out some pics of the car under different light conditions you might like it better.

Depends on how much you prefer the ultramarine color vs the extras. If you want both on your car then you should be looking at the GBS BRZ and pick up one now since that color was discontinued on the BRZ.

Personally the regular FR-S wasn't even on my list. I was looking at the BRZ Limited because I knew I wanted HIDs and keyless entry and would not buy a new car w/o those two things. Color was secondary. Would I prefer WRB? Yes, but the bluish silver of the 10 Series is pretty cool.

I think the more I read the more clear of what to choose :P I'm just hoping I won't have any regrets but I think having either I would be happy and wouldn't care because there will be a smile on my face when driving it haha

If I hadn't already bought an FR-S and didn't mind the silver color, I'd definitely buy the 10 Series. Keyless entry/ignition, HIDs, automatic climate control... all nice upgrades.

Also the 10 series has a bit of blue tint under the right lighting

GBS BRZ Limited. Then you get the color you want and features. That said, you may have a hard time finding one..

Thanks I think the paint will grow me because at the showroom of the dealer it just seems silver to me
