Yep, I almost thought of switching my order, but glad I stuck with the Premium.
- Yeah the HVAC controls are not as expensive looking, but they looked fine to me in the flesh. I actually liked how they operated (simple, intuitive and will still function properly in 10-15 years).
- The Subaru cloth seats are very nice in person, much darker looking than in photos.
- Little silver accents on the dash can be purchased from the parts dept later, if you want them.
- Push button start is only useful for showing off to 18-25 y/o girls. The key works fine for me. The push start is not anymore convenient, just has "cool factor."
- I like the front end better without the fogs
- I like the TRD duckbill spoiler, and will add that later, so I am happy I am not paying for the BRZ spoiler.
- I actually think the heated seats would be nice if I lived in a cold area, but I don't so I'm fine without them.
- Lastly, the Premium still comes with the awesome looking (and HID) headlights, and a good electronics package (Navigation, bluetooth, etc) which are features I do value.
Bottom line for me was $2,000 is a fair chunk of change that I could use on things I want (more than enough to fund my set of PF01s and 235/40/17 Star Specs or R1R). The BRZ Premium, to me, is a great deal.
