For 28k, you should have all those things, steering wheel controls, sunroof, center console, lock on glove box, better visors etc...
It doesn't even have double wish bone suspension front or rear.

Really, overpriced? If you're comparing it to FWD cars or established cars like the WRX (which can rely on Impreza sales to offset development costs), then the fight isn't fair.
Perhaps call the RWD a 5k option and compare it to performance cars 20k or less. Would you say a 20k FWD performance car should have all that? Just to anticipate further question, performance in general is probably worth another 5k so for a comparison of luxury between a BRZ/FR-S and a non-RWD non-performance car, compare it to a 15k car. Or compare it to other RWD sports cars that are usually over 30k.
It's more expensive because it has a layout which is going to be more fun to drive than almost anything else out of the box and it's a great platform for handling upgrades. That's what you're paying for and yes, it's worth the premium.
By the way, I'd pay more not to have steering wheel controls! I'll be damned if I drive a sports car with buttons on the steering wheel. |
