I would suggest a new one. The trim line is higher in the BRZ models and overall i just like the idea of owning a new car. I leased my BRZ with the intention of returning the car after 4 years. My track record seems to be 2-3 years on a lease as I return vehicles because i'm tired of them. i fell in love with my BRZ and just bought it out this month.

If you don't see yourself upgrading anytime soon, I would go new. If not, used. Also think about your intentions with the vehicle and the trims. If dual climate, heated seats, leather, etc doesn't stand out for you, go FRS.

In terms of differences, all the kinks were worked out with the 2016 models (that i'm aware of). The new upgrades in the 18's are really nice, like CarPlay, facelift, interior trimming, etc.

I would also suggest a manual over auto any day of the week. If you care about practicality I would go with a Twin over the miata. at least you'll get a decent sized trunk and 2 rear seats. If you have another vehicle to rely on thats practical, then it doesn't really matter.

all in all theres no wrong decision.. its just what you value in the car. For me it was 1>10 BRZ vs FRS on the road, cheaper insurance vs the FRS (Saved 500 a year), and push start with smart key.

hope this helps, GL!
