I just made this exact change. Gave my 2013 Civic Si to Carmax in September, got a 2015 BRZ last Thursday.
The BRZ rides firmer but Texas roads are so good (compared to Indiana roads) I doubt you'll feel the difference.
I use a bluetooth headset most of the time so haven't used the car bluetooth as much. For some reason my old Motorola M886 android phone doesn't automatically connect but I haven't spent a lot of time messing around with it.
I've actually gone 2013 BRZ, 2013 Civic Si and 2015 BRZ and the BRZ is definitely more fun to drive because of it's lighter weight and go-kart feel. I suspect the Civic Si is faster in a straight line.
I haven't done so a head-to-head test but the 2015 BRZ seems to ride a lot better than the 2013 BRZ, the car settles on bumps instead of crashing down. So I'd aim for a 2015 car.
I wish the BRZ had a sunroof.
