Having the BRZ limited... I say unless you like the FRS interior...I say get the premium BRZ. The seat are not worth the extra money from the premium...if you want a step up save the money get real leather interior. If you are not fond of the limited spoiler...again you have more options. The only real thing I like about the limited is the keyless entry...but I found out there are after market for. If I had to do it again...definitely get a BRZ premium and then buy aftermarket components I want. The Head unit sucks too... I never asked and I wish I had known about Clint, but I was trading in a car so I went locally considering my two colors for cars is black or GBS.

Save your money and have more cash for other upgrades.

My BRZ's bluetooth works perfectly, I activate bluetooth on my phone and the car instantly connects to it.

One thing I can think of that could affect someone's decision between the cars;
Spring rates are different on the twins. A softer spring rate on the BRZ.
Not a trim level item, but important to some ... Nice list!

If the axes were switched on the spreadsheet, it would probably be easier to read imo (trim levels going across, features going down)

I actually had that same thought later on, I'll get around to it.

Me too, zero issues with my iPhone 5. Use Bluetooth streaming audio every day and have not had issues with phone call either.

As its a double DIN unit, lots of good swap options available.

I have had no issues streaming via Bluetooth using an iPhone 4 and now a 5S. Works like a champ.

The headunit could be so much better had they given it more hard buttons on the deck to select songs, and larger buttons for things like skip forward and reverse or changing channels via the GUI.

The poster above who mentioned buying a Premium model and then adding aftermarket keyless and push button start is not a good idea. I researched this topic before buying and the aftermarket solutions I came across sucked. Unless you really know what your doing, by the time you buy the equipment and if you are lucky enough to find an installer who can pull it off, you are better off buying the Limited model and getting all the other extras.

The 2013 FR-S has an option for touchscreen HU. Quite a few 2013s near me have this. (standard in 2014s)

Finally updated the format so it reads vertical. Someone was nice enough to add the Monogram even though it's unverified at this stage.
