Getting confuse: Red BRZ vs Red FR-S
 
Hi guys. I got pretty confuse with my decision. Which one do you think is much better, a red BRZ or FR-S?

Thank you guys. Really appreciate your help in making my decision!

Why does the color matter if you are asking which car is better?

The color / paint code is the same regardless of subaru/toyota.

What's your budget first and foremost. What can you comfortably afford? And if you can afford both. Do you like amenities like HIDs, NAVI, Leather/Alcantara, Heated Seats, DUAL HVAC, or do you prefer simplicity above all else? Just drive.

Mostly just preference and a small bit of goodies that the BRZ offers like stated above.

I could live without ALL of those options so I went FR-S.

The FR-S also has a better front bumper :)

I just want to know what do you think the color in each car because some say red will be better in FR-S and I should pick other color for BRZ, so I did the poll know :).

The price tag doesn't really matter for me. In fact, I'm close to finalizing a lightning red BRZ but have to wait till January but I also have an option fo fire red FR-S that is available right away. That's why I'm asking.

I don't care about the climate control. I can put my own HID and nav in FR-S. One more thing, I got the offer for the FR-S that has leather covered seats and upgrade size rims :) for much cheaper than the offer that I got for BRZ. There is after market for LED running light in FR-S, right?

I'm totally agree with you Synack! FR-S has better front bumper!

I like red better on the FR-S.

I've got a red FR-S coming. I didn't check the red color on the BRZ.

I'm sure no one like it. It just much better to see FR-S front bumper in red rather than in BRZ, right? It just my own preferences though

Im not really a fan of the brz front bumper

Red looks better on the FR-S in my opinion since it's front is more aggressive. I like the 'classier' colors on the BRZ like Galaxy Blue and Dark Gunmetal.

It's all a very small difference though. You'll more than likely be happy with whatever choice you make.

Comparing between the FR-S and BRZ limited, here's what I thought:

Exterior = FR-S (front bumper, fender badge, wingless)
Interior = FR-S (BRZ is more upscale, but I prefer the way the FR-S looks oddly)
Features = BRZ (HIDs, dual/auto climate control, heated seats, nav)
Price = FR-S

Just have to decide which car fits your preferences better.

Looks like you have your answer!

That is a total personal preference question. I went FRS because I like the front bumper better and I can live without all the BRZ extras or add them in later from the aftermarket cheaper.
