Just buy a 2013 BRZ limited. You get everything this car has to offer without paying for the "special edition" price that they're going to try to sell you.

People who complain about a BRZ bumper I think just want to jump on the FR-S bumper bandwagon. I have my BRZ parked next to an FR-S right outside and seeing both side by side, in person, I can honestly say that both front ends look very nice. I used to be on the bandwagon of FR-S bumpers and would waste my time googling "Swap BRZ bumper with FR-S". It's the stupidest thing ever. Now that I have an FR-S parked next to me daily I always look at both front ends and realize, "Hmm...the FR-S bumper doesn't look as incredibly flawless as everyone makes it out to be."

BRZ has a nice looking front end + a ton of features. It's basically side by side with Scion's Monogram FR-S, except by the time the Monogram comes out you're going to be better off getting a BRZ Limited for thousands of dollars less. With all that money you save you can go ahead and get your reverse camera, exhaust, wheels, suspension, tint, stereo system, and whatever else you feel like spending the money that you saved on.

And for those people talking about trading in your FR-S already to get this new Monogram, think about how much money you're upside-down, then add that onto the new loan that you need for the Monogram, and then add interest. No one should be putting themselves in a financial hole. You're gonna end up paying 35k+ for a Monogram bone stock. Just wait until you start wanting suspension, wheels, etc. You'll be in a financial sink hole when you could've just kept your current FR-S and invested money into what you have instead of taking 10 Series of steps backwards.
