Pretty much the same boat but I want the push to start and alcantara/leather heated seats. Big plus is the looks of the hvac vs conventional. Not that big of a deal but only price will make my decision.

I think most of us BRZ fans are in the same position.

Subaru got me. After sitting in the limited model, the seats got me hooked. Pictures do it no justice. Those seats are amazing.

Pretty much. Say the BRZ premium does end up being a little over 24 grand and it's about 27 grand for the limited? Would you guys shelve out the extra couple grand? I don't think I'd want to pay that amount but if they got me to test drive a limited I'd probably get suckered in...

I'm still getting over the fact that I have to pay for that nav, when I just want the premium seats and hid LOL I'm not alone on this I'm sure.

I'm getting the Premium and here's why (in no particular order)
* I don't like the look of the rear spoiler. I like that it lowers cD though.
* I don't need auto climate control in a small car, and I didn't like how it operated on my '05 Subaru. I like the red 7 segment display though. It has a 70's digital watch look that I like.
* Factory fog lights are usually worthless for their intended purpose, so I don't need them.
* Every car I've had with leather seats has shown creases after a while, especially in the bolsters. My cars with cloth don't. And since I don't eat or drink in my cars, cleaning up isn't an issue. And since the Premium and Limited seats will be the same besides the coverings, the comfort of the seats should remain the same.
* My cloth-seated cars have been fine in cold weather without heated seats. My leather cars all needed them because of the heat transfer properties of leather.
* Push button start seems neat, and I admit that I've er had a car with it, but a lot of the time I value simplicity over complication.
* The (slightly) reduced weight is a bonus.

Now, I'm not saying that my situation is the same as everyone's, but the above is my thought process in getting the Premium over the Limited.

Lol with the money I save I might be able to afford a Jdm import model to dress up like a doctor and pose for pictures all over my car
