Let's face it boys and girls, the BRZ isn't a Ford F150, Chevy Silverado, Cadillac Escalade or a Dodge Ram. Now THEY have lotsa big knobs and dials AND the real estate to do it in.

The instrument panel is probably the most densely integrated component in a vehicle and there is not a lot of room available in the BRZ instrument panel. Design compromises must be made. Sure, there may be more friendly Head Units in other cars of the same size but every car is different. Cost is always a factor as well.

SO, if you want a bigger display, more buttons and dials or controls on the steering, then pony up your hard-earned doleros and get THAT car. OR:
Stop whining and GET OVER IT! It's not going to be as nice as your daddies car when you took your favorite bimbette to the high school prom.
