Why not simply buy something like a Ford Fiesta? 40 MPG and it has both leather and heated seats. Plus you'll end up saving like 12K - 15K over the Mustang.

I honestly don't think the BRZ/FR-S is the car for you if your main concerns are how comfortable the car is. You should look at the mantra Toyota is pushing with "bring passion back to the people". This car is light weight low HP RWD goodness. It's about having a ton of fun while still remaining affordable. Adding on leather and accessories like heated seats goes against the mantra of being light weight.

I still don't get why people think Mustangs are amazing cars. Their live rear axel is technology over 30 years old and doesn't make for great handling cars. Which is exactly what the BRZ/FR-S is supposded to be about.

You could say the same about the frs suspension.
