I have been looking at the model differences and I have seen a few questions regarding them so I created this little comparo to make things a little easier. Please feel free to comment on anything that I missed.

EDIT: Updated

I think you've got everything on the list there.

^^^ lol misspelled "Gauges"

Also, FRS doesnt not come with DRL in the "lower insert". Those are the turn blinkers

TylerD951 · 03-22-2012, 03:47 PM

BRZ Limited comes standard with spoiler and push button start / proximity key doesn't it?

Spaceywilly · 03-22-2012, 03:48 PM

Lower insert for the FR-S is actually the turn signal, not DRL.

On the headunit, I get where you are going but I don't know that I'd call this "basic stereo". From today's press release:

"The FR-S will come standard with an eight-speaker AM/FM/CD/USB 300-watt maximum output Pioneer™ audio system. Standard features also include HD Radio™ technology and Bluetooth® connectivity that allows both hands-free phone connection as well as streaming audio capability."

Limited doesn't have chrome trim fender pieces, those are optional on all BRZs

ManOfStiehl · 03-22-2012, 03:51 PM

Also BRZ supposedly has "understeer" tuned suspension while FR-S/86 has "oversteer" tuned suspension. Take that with the whole Morton Salt Company, it's an FR with skinny tires, it's gonna DOH-REEF-TOW.

He just meant non-Navi (and thus non-Bespoke).

WhiteGDB · 03-22-2012, 03:52 PM

Chrome accent on fender insert is optional, not standard on BRZ limited.

Spaceywilly · 03-22-2012, 03:54 PM

Also the BRZ has silver dash trim and the FR-S has black. And they each have a unique color, Hot Lava for FR-S and WRB for BRZ

WhiteGDB · 03-22-2012, 03:59 PM

I would also argue that the BRZ premium gets upgraded cloth or premium cloth seats.

yea sounds about everything is covered... just update that list with the parts mentioned and you're good to go...
