Same thing with key fob entry/key start. When the unlock button is pressed the interior lights are turned on and when doors are locked the interior lights turn off. For me, this has occurred fifty feet distant from the car.

Also if one with the key fob entry/key start unlocks the car inadvertently (with the key fob), the doors will re-lock after a few minutes if not opened.

I was kind of in the same boat. I came out of a 2008 BMW 650i and was used to keyless entry, automatic headlights (not sure of the Premium has those), automatic dual-zone climate control, leather seats. Didn't want to give up the keyless entry, so handy to just grab the door handle and it unlocks. And I also like the spoiler. So Limited for me.

But, to the thread starter ultimately, buy what you like and who cares what a bunch of anonymous forum posters think?

Same here, got a good price on a '13 WRB Premium with 2.9% financing. Jumped on it and the rest is history.

No the cars in the bay area come pre-installed with lo-jack.... on all cars I have seen so far... I suppose tge dealerships r doing it.

Also it is not just an alarm system that subaru is putting in....there is an immobilizer as well.

The brz doesn't come with lo-jack. Skytracker is a much better system (tracks via gps & cops can get a live track from Skytracker when you report your car stolen, via the in car computer via Web). And you can use the system to track it yourself as well, so no proprietary custom hardware on the tracking end needed as long as you the owner authorize tracking for a specific instance.
