1) I thought all BRZ trims came with Nav, this one didn't.
2) Steering wheel is small and the "leather wrap" felt cheap, have any of you retrofit a bigger one that comes with the audio controls from factory?
3) Is the Performance Pack worth it for the extra $3k? I also noticed that the braking wasn't as good as I thought it would be considering how light the car is.
4) What is the most common problems of this car? Have any of you that have owned '13/14 developed any interior trim rattle? I know that this is a relatively reliable car but every car has its common problems.
Thanks

1. Nope. I just use an iOttie v3 with my iPhone and Google Maps. Only downside is if my phone loses cellular connection in the middle of nowhere (but you can download offline maps in advance if you plan it well enough). Otherwise it works fine.
2. I personally like the feel of the steering wheel's material. I don't, however, like how sensitive the buttons are. I'm constantly accidentally brushing the voice control button and it's nearly impossible to cancel for at least 20-30 seconds.
3. PP should only cost $1060 to maybe $1200. I got it for $1060 (so at cost).
4. I may have a slight rattle in the interior piece slightly above the driver side near the windshield but it's barely noticeable. Otherwise no chirps (yet, and hopefully never).
