Hi everybody,
I have a general newby question to all the owners of frs/brz

I'm planing to get one, but still not sure frs/brz or wrx ?
Lease price comes almost the same maybe wrx is little bit exp., but that is not the case.

Some points to consider:
I owned bmw 3 series long time, love that car, and I liked the size-small , compact , sporty.
I don't need space inside the car and I love the size and the look of frs/brz
I like fast cars, i'm not gonna race but when u know that u have some power and once in a while u can use that- it is great( I mean more quick, not like 400 hp)

Now, I'm in Canada, and 4 wheel drive is the only reason for me to consider wrx , also as much as I understand reading the forums, there are way more upgrades/ mods for wrx I can consider and also the engine is new on WRX.
the problem is that I dont want/need that big 4 doors and from the other side I don't really like flat non turbo on frs/brz ...

I'm also considering to spend ~2k after a month or two on mods (wheels, exhaust , nothing crazy )

Maybe the last point : frs/brz - I like the front grill of frs but hate that you can't get automatic climate inside like the one in brz sport model.

So... your thoughts?
I'm sorry if I'm getting repeated here, I read the forums, but still... want to hear what you got to say.
Thank you!
