For me, it's like a points system in my head. I see the BRZ like this...
- +5 points: Prettier seat upholstery (no red shoulders)
- +5 points: Prettier gauges (no white tach)
- -5 points: Built-in nav. I hate a big screen lighting up the interior at night. Even if you dim them all the way down it seems like they're still killing your night vision.
- 0 points: Manual HVAC is perfect just like the FRS so that's neither points up or down.
- 0 points: I like turning the key, don't need push-start, so that's neutral too.
- 0 points: Black piece on front bumper is kinda huge (-5) but at least the headlights don't stick out past the bumper (+5) so those cancel each other out.
- 0 points: Handling is gonna be rad on FRS or BRZ, so that's a wash.
- +1,000,000 points: I'm putting the TRD high wing on whatever car I end up buying, so one million points for badassery.
And last but not least, the original reason I started comparing the FRS to BRZ-P in the first place.. headlights.
I want HID, I will have HID, I don't care if the car comes with it... Problem solved:
