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

[Newguyottawa]

The keyless entry, start and lock is extremely convenient. I was sceptical at first but now absolutely love this feature. It is almost worth the price difference on its own. Almost.

Pray that they will never fail.

Like others have said, it depends on how much the price difference is. In my case, it was about $1400. It will be my only car so heated seats themselves make up for a lot of that. When I was talking to my local dealers and the difference was $3000 or so, I was going to get the premium.

thats true. I got my Ltd for 27 or 26 for a premium but I stopped in a dealer in south Carolina that wanted 35... or 30 for a premium

at my dealership, the price difference was about $1500. i thought that for all that came with upgrade, especially the leather seats and the keyless entry, that was a pretty good deal. especially since i'll make up a portion of that on resale.

Never had any family member or friend that has a leather seated car lol (dad actively hates that and somehow got a rx350 in cloth trim!).

Here in Arizona they kinda suck compared to other options in the summer.

If you use the USAA car buying service you can get a BRZ in SoCal for under MSRP. I was able to get mine for that in march. I was told I was the only person in the area to get under MSRP. They were upset, but USAA took care of everything for me. I Just drank free coffee and watched the finance department figure out how it was happening

ALSO - it is certainly worth it to get the Limited if you are looking for a more mature look for the interior. If you enjoy upgrading the interior with a more personalized look then go premium and use the saved money for personal upgrades.

I would have to agree. I always thought that I wouldn't like it. However, I used a Taurus with the same keyless entry/ start for two weeks and then got home and have been using it on the BRZ. I love it. Something that I thought I wouldn't need but have grown to love the convience.

Cloth is just as hot to me as leather. Sorry but hot is hot and technically they are the same temperature.

The leather may transfer heat faster and feel hotter but that also means it will cool quicker.

The AC is plenty strong enough for the little cabin space to cool off very quickly in the hottest days for me in the summer. I live in the south so I'm talking about 120+ temps inside the car after a day in the sun.

I wouldn't pick cloth over leather based on temperature. Sit on both and pick what feels better and more comfortable.

yup this is something often overlooked until it is used.

Once you use that technology going back to regular key is quite annoying lol

i love just getting in the car without touching the key, starting it up without touching the key, locking the car without touching the key.

Such awesome tech =)

It is great tech...

Uhh you don't even need to do that. There is a reason there is a physical key.

It's fail proof like I said, the engineers thought of these things don't you think
