What sold me on the BRZ:

1) I liked the front bumper look more than FR-S
2) HID are expensive if retrofitted and not warrantied/insured as far as accident are concerned. A quality job will cost more than $500. HID in stock housing is what many will do for like $100 but its not my thing.
3) Don't really like built in nav but I won't have to spend the $200 or so on a window mount unit and the touchscreen looks way better than the Scion stock headunit.

For $1000 more than FRS I think that is pretty good value.

Weight difference between FRS and BRZ Premium is 4 lbs.
