Brz limited was a pretty easy choice for me. Heated seats, nav, much better headlights/drls and just a nicer interior in general. Money wasn't really an issue for me. I was all set to upgrade to something in the 50-70k range and went with a BRZ instead. It felt very similar to my sti, just it was now a BRZ and the interior was slightly nicer. FRS is a great alternative if money is tight. If money isn't a big deal, get a BRZ in my opinion.

To put it another way, I feel the general package of the BRZ is just good enough where I don't feel like I'm making a huge downgrade from a luxury car (I used a late model Acura TL as a commuter). The FRS is lacking just enough stuff where it did feel like a huge downgrade. I don't know if that makes sense. The headlights and drls on the FRS drive me crazy. The plain black dash, a/c controls and colored seat inserts make the car look very cheap to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the BRZ is a luxo cruiser, it just doesn't remind me that it's an economy car as often as the FRS.
