Limited owners, do you feel the extra goodies are worth it?

[ntron1]

Would have gotten the limited but I do not do Automatic HVAC control. Too many service issues if it stops working out of warranty.

They havent accomplished anything

while subaru on the otherhand has a whole history behind the company lol

For what it's worth Toyota generally has a better track record with honoring warranty and the Subaru dealers are slightly slimier in my experience (local), there's plenty of people on this forum who never ever would have considered a Subaru before this car came out.

Just gotta take a look at the "issues and warranty" section of this forum to see some guys getting screwed over.

Yes, I think it's worth the extra money:

-Illuminated doors and vanity mirrors are quite useful
-Keyless entry is really quite nice
-And the seats are definitely more comfortable and heat is a huge +, although since the seats aren't full leather it won't be as big a concern
-Auto climate control is great, although I think dual-zone is kind of silly
-Spoiler is nice, and I feel like with the other stuff included, it's a nice cheap addition

Only thing I wish is that this car also had automatic wipers like my previous card did (Mazda 3). Automatic wipers were way cooler than I could have guessed after having them in my previous car. Other than that, I'm quite happy with the Limited versus the Premium.

I had a chance to drive a Premium for 3 days to get a feel for the car and knew that if I were to buy one, it'd be a Limited. Glad I did and feel that it's worth the extra.

For me:

Seats > Keyless Entry > Push Start > Auto Climate > Heated Seats > Fogs > Puddle Lights/Vanity Lights

The spoiler I could do with or without.

Yes, actually they do. Some luxury cars are starting to have them. Basically many systems use perforations inside the leather seat (keeping in mind because it's a luxury car most will already come with leather) connected to the HVAC or use an integrated fan type system. The blown air isn't very strong on some that I've seen and they weren't adjustable.

I wish they'd somehow come up with a system that uses technology similar to the endurance racing under shirt that cools the driver via liquid filled ribs.

For me, the only way I was going to buy a BRZ was the limited. It just didn't make sense coming from a 2011 WRX to not get the features.

The car is slower but all of the amenties and well the sheer fun of the car are definitly worth it.

That's when it's time to get out and stretch your legs, enjoy the scenery.

Remember when cars had a vent down under the steering column? Those were the good ol' days.

...or front quarter and rear opera windows that popped out with manual levers.

The rental car that I had on vacation had AC seats. I'll tell ya what, I could get used to those.

My 95 Celica had that. I called it my crotch-cooler. That center vent was awesome!

Except it's not a Toyota, it's a Scion. If it was a Toyota I'd have bought one in a second. Scion is their youth-oriented brand. I am not part of that demographic, so I bought the BRZ instead. Now get off my lawn, you whippersnappers.

[chadstyle]

Yes, well worth it.

[Frstorm]

VR- same lots same warrantee as any toyota

It's a logo and a marketing budget, it still operates as a subdivision of Toyota. If it matters to you then you definitely bought the right vehicle if only so you're not one of the guys who make every fifth post of this thread "I wish it wasn't a Scion".

I don't know about you but I bought a car to drive it, not as a personal statement. To each their own.
