Suck it trebeck. Seriously some people (like me) want all the options, looking at a blank place knowing a button belongs there but there isn't one because I was cheap over a couple thousand would bother me the entire time I owned the car. Others don't mind. Good for them, good for me. The only thing that means is we both got the car we wanted, it doesn't mean your decision was better or smarter.

You talkin about this lil square where I can put something cool in?

Sos- I own a firestorm FRS and laugh at brz owners. Like I've said in many threads, I hate the front bumper of the BRZ not to mention the sides of it too. Plus the scion badges are better. I have zero need for heated seats and the buttons would just annoy me. Wasn't going to comment until you implied all FRS owners did it to save money. I did not pick the FRS to save money, I bought the FRS to avoid your fugly front bumper and the side piece that is perfect for the 86 sign and Subaru put an ugly metal strip since 86 is a Toyota thing. Since I owned my car I put all LED's in and my own nav system in which I hear brz owners also hate their nav systems. To each their own but don't post assumptions that are wrong to validate why you went with what you did. And besides I also have a customized plate like the previous frs owner which I love.

@Frstorm

I think you need to check who you're referring too... :bonk:

SpectreRT 08-03-2013 08:45 PM

Jeeze, a little hostile no? At the end of the day we all own the same car...

Luis- sorry

Frstorm 08-03-2013 08:51 PM

Spect- Na, just wanted to make sure SOS knows his front bumper is fugly compared to the FRS front bumper and that is one of the reason I went with an FRS and not because it was cheaper which with all the extra features I got I could of gotten a BRZ slightly cheaper.

Lol.

Understood, but your opinion is not "gospel." People will have different opinions - you can express yours without being excessively negative.

In the BRZ side of the forum, I endeavor to be a little circumspect 8)

That's cute but adults were talking. I implied nothing, you however inferred much, which tells me that you're looking for reason to be offended.

And not to argue but FYI the FRS bumper (which I like mostly) and side stakes (which I dislike) can be added to the BRZ for less than the cost of proper head lights for the FRS. Calling either car ugly tells me your eyes are broken or you're blinded by rampant fanboyism, which is laughable since they're practically the same car. I don't five a damn for what reasons you chose a FRS vs. A BRZ but you're reasons are no more or less valid than anyone else's.

Now go enjoy you're de-contented BRZ, wearing a badge dreamed up by some marketing weenies for the north american market only because any other market would see right through the charade. We all have our reasons, quit pretending yours are better.

Don't feed the trolls! Just lol, popcorn, and relax. We drive a great car, they drive a great car, all is well with life. Don't let 'em get a rise out of you.

Anyway... leather seat wear...

Luis_GT 08-04-2013 11:18 AM

I think the leather seats subaru put on suck...

My 530i has 11 year, and outside of the leather being dirty, it has barely any cracks...

SpectreRT 08-04-2013 12:32 PM

Thankfully i've seen no leather issues yet - with the exception that I have two leather scratches from the day of purchase (that the dealer is YET to fix).

But yeah, it seems pretty low quality. Cloth is the better choice for this car IMO.

I like my leather and alcantra but if I could have gotten the keyless start with the cloth seats I likely would have as the cloth subaru used seems pretty choice.

Either way I'm very happy with my car.
