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) Mine doesn't come with navigation. And the infotainment system in BRZ sucks as hell. So i would rather use my phone.
2) I actually like the small steering wheel, and come on man. Leather wrap is not cheap. It feels slippery though sometimes, especially when it's cold.
3) I believe the PP is like $1000+ more. And the brembo is INCREDIBLE! Definitely go for it I would say.
4) Mine got a twisted sound from the back when cornering at high G. Still haven't figure where it comes from. If anyone knows, please tell me.

Gook luck getting your new BRZ!
