This is why I keep bringing up other cars. Taken from Page 1. I realize this is a BRZ but the numbers should be similar for the FRS if not better.
"the BRZ's respectable 69.1-mph slalom speed and striking 0.92g on the skid pad are more definitive of its character than is its acceleration. Those numbers are better than both the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe (67.4 mph slalom, 0.89g skid pad) and the 2011 Ford Mustang GT (67.3 mph slalom, 0.91g skid pad)."
In a 25K car you get performance of a 60K Cayman. Stop focusing on the stupid stereo. Just buy the FR-S and spend 35K on upgrading the stereo.
I still think the whole idea behind "For 25K, they could have given us something better" is silly. Your missing the point of the design priorities completely if the stereo is the only thing your focused on.
Plus, comparing the GT86 and BRZ to the FRS is totally mixing fruit completely when it comes to the stereo. They don't offer the same thing (well maybe the GT86 does but i'm not sure).

The BRZ\FRS\GT86 are the exactly the same car. Scion just cheapen out on the standard equipment. That is what some of us are pissed about. I never said I was not going to buy the car. (But I might get the BRZ is the price is close)
The FRS will never be a Cayman, or Mustang or Genny Coupe. Those cars are all faster and handle differently and one of them is a real mid engine sports car with a famous nameplate.
Oh and Scion stereos look cheap, I never said there were not any good. The feature set on the stock stereo is pretty good (It does have voice control and HD radio and bluetooth and Iphone integration), its just an ugly looking system, in a bad assed looking car. The FR-S deserves something better looking.
The stock stereo will be the first thing that goes in this car, if the bespoke is unreasonably priced. I am going to a more integrated and sophisticated look in the interior.
At least scion made it easy for us to change out the system for something better.
I am all for discussion my friend. No worries.
