As others have mentioned, I also was looking at sticking with Toyota's version until I learned that it came in only 1 option - comparable to the Japanese 86G trim level, but with larger wheels.. No HIDs, LED daytime running lights, smart key, climate control, satnav, or leather/alcantara seat options that the top-end models in all countries they're sold as Toyotas have access to. The increased rear spring rates and lower front rates did look interesting, however.
The moment I first spun the BRZ Limited's climate control knob, I realized I was seriously debating the higher model, and once I actually sat in both the BRZ Premium and FRS, I realized that there was no way I could justify dropping $25k for Yaris HVAC controls. I originally didn't care about any of the other creature comforts, but with plans on keeping this thing around for at least half a decade, that one issue alone pushed me from Hot Lava to WRB.
If I were looking for a weekend fun/track car, I'd be all over the FRS as it feels like the purest canvas to build a monster that we get in NA (I'm interested in seeing how many would have grabbed the 86RC if we got it here).
