Limited owners, do you feel the extra goodies are worth it? - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Jaw- I had and liked the 09-10 model tc. I think they have gone to big on the tc but yes I like scion brand and I am 29. If I wanted the Toyota brand instead all I would have to do is rebrand it Toyota since they make the gt86 but that won't happen.

The push button ignition is what made the sport-tech worth it in the end.

Being new to manual cars, pushing a button quickly is a lot less stressful than turning a key when you stall on a steep hill in the middle of rush hour traffic

Yes, definitely worth it to get the Limited!

DeepHunta · 08-14-2013, 12:49 AM

only wanted push start button. Didn't need all extra. GPS is crap but I don't mind.

haha, I paid $2k for a push button start. Great logic I guess

To put it simply, YES, I thought it was worth it. I was at odds whether to buy an FR-S or a BRZ. I'm glad I went with a BRZ Limited.

1). Wanted the auto HVAC. The manual rotary knobs were just a bit lacking for me personally.

2). Already spoiled from my previous SUV that had keyless entry (same type of handle sensor) and start. Also, bluetooth voice recognition software.

3). The alcantara/leather combo just felt and looked right for me.

4). GPS and heated seats are useless for my location.

5). The rear spoiler has grown on me. The STI gurney flap really finishes off the look.

Love my limited, worth it to me. Definitely makes the car feel more complete and loaded.

What kind of kit are you running? Is it paint matched or is that just the sunlight playing tricks on me?

MY13FRS · 08-14-2013, 02:42 AM

Not worth it. This is a sports car. Keep it raw. Get the FRS.

The BRZ is the female version of this car.

spdfreak · 08-14-2013, 02:54 AM

Keyless entry, tooshie cookers, and lip spoiler. Yes.

I ordered a Premium and the only thing I'm concerned about is the look of the Climate control... The Limited Climate control looks awesome, but I really hate climate control vs. manual controls and always end up overriding them to operate the fans manually XD

Otherwise I liked the cloth seats better and don't need all the bells and whistles. Push start is fun so is the keyless entry (Family member has a Lexus CT200h with the same technology, its addicting but IMO one more thing to go wrong) Mine is going to have the spoiler though, but thats OK its functional.

I would probably have bought the Limited if money was no object, but $2000 is a lot of money for me and slightly out of my budget (getting my premium for less than a FRS!)

does the brz have a emergency physical key inside the keyless fob just in case battery is dead in the thing?
