Haven't "gone" HID so far so not much concerned about that - I am not driving in the sticks at night. Seat fabric I will agree is not the best, although a little better in person than in photos.

Handling is a non issue for normal drivers. In fact the BRZ setup will protect RWD noobs from themselves when they disable the nannies in over confidence.
Toyota over-estimated their customers' abilities with the SW20 MR2 to the point that it got a suspension redesign very soon after launch (MR is even less noob friendly than FR), we'll see what happens with the FR-S and future insurance costs compared to the BRZ. I was actually concerned that they would nerf it a few years back. Now given some of the headache-inducing noob posts it may not be a cause to rejoice. Only good thing is that the fashion-conscious staggered look will kill the tail happy nature for THOSE people...
