All the specs you could want are in there. Estimated curb weight is about 3330, gas mileage for the manual is up to 28 highway.
Had it been a decent looking hatch I may have waited to see what it would be like. I knew it was going to be a great performer, but it is still not quite what I want.

Hmm, that's actually not bad. Lighter than my 3rd gen NA Legacy GT, which was very similar in exterior dimensions. Gas mileage is acceptable.
Looking at the pics, I don't like the bright silver trim piece at the bottom of the steering wheel or the CF around the head unit, but otherwise it looks pretty good. Definitely noticing some commonality in the small stuff like the shift knob, interior dimmer switch, pedals, door handles, etc.
That screen above the vents in the center seems like it might offer some really neat functions too. It appears to have the same FT nav head unit as the BRZ, but with steering wheel controls, so that's nice, and that probably means that there's no uesless HU integration with the HVAC or instrument cluster. I noticed that the "Harmon Kardon" audio system has the same physical appearance as the FT HU, I wonder if it's a special variant or if the changes are just in the speakers and the HU itself is unchanged.
Any idea what the three buttons in the 7-8 o'clock position on the steering wheel are? Not cruise control or bluetooth or audio controls, maybe something to do with the info screen on the dash?
