Agree that the BRZ is compelling from price for what you get standpoint. The nav and headlights are definitely upscale.

Why am I going for FR-S? I think the front of the FR-S looks better than the BRZ. The BRZ nose looks like someone stuck a big piece of plastic there. I like the simple climate controls on the FR-S. My current car has auto climate controls and it's a pain in the butt with five buttons pushed to do anything different.

OTOH, if I hadn't gotten in to the First 86 program, I'd definitely be taking a closer look at the BRZ. My wife would love the leather heated seats. I'll probably have to upgrade my FR-S to leather heated seats at some point.
