why did you choose the FRS over the BRZ or other cars?
 

I've posted the same question on the BRZ section and many gave reasons to why they chose the BRZ over the FRS such as HID, Alcantara, front look, interior etc.

Now for FRS owners, why did you choose the FRS over the BRZ or other cars that you might have considered? You can select multiple options and/or add additional comments.

i chose the FR-S over the BRZ because it was being offered @ MSRP

I just like they way the FR-S looks, I just like it better than the BRZ

I like all the minor styling differences of the FR-S. I just wish it was available with some of the luxuries of the BRZ like HID/LED's and a GPS Nav/XM Radio, Leather/Alcantara seats, etc.

I would've gotten the WRB BRZ if I didn't have to wait and deal with markups. But I don't really regret getting the ultramarine FR-S either. I'm glad to have been able to own the car for so long already while many people are still waiting.

Couldn't justify a $4.5k diff for HID's and a GPS.

I don't think it takes a large strech of the imagination to say you're out of your territoty. This is like me going over to a Hyundai Genesis forum and asking them why they bought a Genesis instead of an FR-S. It doesn't make sense.

You're not a troll are you?

I like frs face better then brz n light, n I hate leather seats, I like the fact this car is a pure preformance notsome luxury mark up, I like it better then my brother 130k$ cl63 amg,

Hmm... because the original AE86 is a TOYOTA? :)

EXACTLY my friend. Exactly! :happy0180:

Case in point: My two TOYOTA 86's!

I like the FR-S bumper better.

I got an FR-S in June when BRZ's weren't available without order.

Didn't have to pay a 2K mark up with the FR-S.

I was fine with the stock stereo, cloth seats, etc. etc. I would have switched out the stereo either way.

Only thing I am really missing out on the the BRZ is the headlights and WRB. I will be replacing my headlights with either black FR-S lights or BRZ lights, so it isn't a big deal. Kinda glad I couldn't get WRB since it seems to be such a popular color.

YES

Considering I wasn't really looking to buy a new car when I got mine.. I can only really compare directly to a BRZ. Just so happened that the yota dealer offered payoff for my '10 WRX so I had to jump on the deal. Why FRS over BRZ? See below in order of importance;

price
front bodywork
spartan interior (I prefer simple cars)
I'm friends with the guy that sold me mine and he got me a really solid deal for my trade.

Back in June (and still now) local BR-Zs were carrying $5K mark-up and FR-S was available at MSRP.
