Frs 10 series or 2014 ultramarine Frs - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I hate silver cars, but Silver Ignition is color-changing and it really grew on me. It's blue or grey and sometimes in-between. A BRZ limited is a good compromise. Color AND options.

The only things I don't like about the 10 series are the emblems and the seats still feel like cheesy frs seats. Love the color and headlights tho. Plus their pretty exclusive.

My real question is that since they make 10 Toyota/scions to every subaru, which one is more rare?

get a 10 series, problem solved

/2500

emblems are a love/hate thing... everyone that has seem them has loved them even though i thought it was cheezy when i first saw them but they are done very tastefully... and whats wrong with the FRS seats? personally leather is blah to me, i prefer cloth over leather any day...

i prefer the FR-S front (nose) over the BRZ moustache~ but i also want the interior goodies. these are more important to me than the color, so i think the 10 series is my best option.

would it be difficult for a shop to paint (re-paint) a 10-series b/c of the glowing emblems?

Just go with the 10 Series. Last time I bought a car I didn't opt for any of the nice features and I hated it. Get the car with the extra goodies. 10 Series will hold value better in the long run.

just from my perspective:

i was in the same situation as you when i went to the dealer... i was bent on waiting for a 2014 firestorm FRS, that was until i found out all the goodies the 10 series had and i jumped on it right away... i think it was worth it just for the headlights alone...

It shouldn't be any more difficult to re-paint a 10-Series. That said, it might be better for you to buy a BRZ and do a front bumper swap (I remember reading about that in the BRZ section) if you would prefer to have leather seats or the BRZ headlights. Not sure which would cost more or prove more difficult though.

I'm in the midst of this decision as well ..
Torn between the FRS 10 front and the BRZ seats!

I went to both dealerships and I didn't notice any difference between the interiors, but my friend said that the steering wheel in the BRZ is closer than the FRS (with the same seating position)
Does this make any sense?

The steering wheel is telescopic... he probably didn't mess with the steering wheel position...

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

If the 10 is there and ready to go, and providing it does not have too many miles, and by that I mean no more say 30. Buy it now!

Because every day you spend driving an FRS is a day not counted against your total allotment.
