Yes. Simply yes. Unless you are going to track the car and do not need the extras. For daily driving, it is worth it.

Sounds like you got a touch of the jelly.

Maybe you need some of this:

oh i definitely will. Subaru also are naturally more flexible with pricing vs scion for better or worse.

lowest i see around here is 28k though, but I have a feeling i can get it down to 27k or lower in the next month or so before 2014's hit without too much screaming on the floor like a boy at toys r us.

The only thing about the Limited I don't like is the push button, although it's cool an nice, I would love to have the key to turn in my steering column.

Want to trade? I just got a premium and the only thing that would have made limited worth it was the keyless entry and push button start. Oh well, I guess I'll just spend the extra 2k on a full exhaust system

And the heated seats. And the bi Xenons. And the Alcantara seats. Yes, definitely worth it.

Yes, well worth it.

Keyless.

The auto HVAC, better controls, and leather/alcantara are also nice. The Heated seats/mirrors come in handy too. I thought dual HVAC would be silly in such a small car, but my passengers make use of it on occasion, so it's not worthless.

Nothing is annoying, though the fog lights aren't very strong. The spoiler slightly improves drag, but otherwise isn't all that important.

Outside of the FR-S, name me another Scion car that has ever been a "I really want this" car? Unfortunately the Scion brand is dying. I expect Toyota will kill it off in the next 5 years unless there is a major turnaround.

I don't blame someone for buying an FR-S at all, it is an awesome car for the money. But the Scion brand does nothing for me. I think most Scion owners would rather have a Toyota name and badge on the car.

no regrets - i like the extra options and when all of them are tallied up, i felt that it was a very reasonable package for the price.
