Changes since 2017?
 
Newbe here. I recently rented a BRZ and liked it enough that I'm thinking about picking one up. The one I drove was a 2019, but I like the color yellow so I'm thinking about getting a 2017 when that color was available. Are there any noticeable differences between the 2017 and the 2019/2020 models? I looked around for this and didn't find much, but sometimes don't have much success with the search tool. Thank you!

They have Apple Car Play and Android Auto now.

That is all.

Not sure about the BRZ, but the 86's moved the back up rear camera to the rear view mirror from the head unit.

What Tcoat said. There were different trims like the tS, but if you are comparing a '17 limited to an '18 limited the only differences are in the headunit.

Yeah, the BRZ I drove had the back up camera displayed in the head unit. It had Nav and Apple Carplay also.

Only in the GT trim...the base models still have the backup cam in the Head unit.......

Very odd choice as the head units are the same.

You sure? The Toyota site shows self dimming with rear camera for all the trims in 2020.

Define yourself. Do you love to drive, or are you <fooled> fascinated by fancy "technology" in cars? 2017 (and arguably 2013) to present day all drive the same. Save your money for mods (tires, driver-mod, etc) and go 2017.

There is no reason in the world that you can not love to drive AND want/use the tech. None! One does not preclude the other in any way except in the minds of the elitist "do you even drive bruh" crowd.

They might have changed it to the rear view mirror for 2020 with the new head units.

I know in 2017 the cameras were still on the head units, and with the GT trims they were on the mirrors, i figured itwas like this until 2020.

Can't find any info on the Canadian Toyota site so it may be just USA. The Canadian site completely sucks for listing features.

My 2019 base model 86 has the camera displayed in the rear view mirror. There was a lot of confusion about that from the dealership prior to the delivery, so it might be the year when they made the change and all 86 have it in the rear view mirror from now on.
