I think you've missed the point... These features are limited. Not ok for many FRS owners that would've liked these features already offered by Subaru.

I'll give you this though, many people seemed to pick the FRS due to the unnecessary options compared to the BRZ, but still unfair to many who had no idea these options would become available a year later on the same platform... Yet no surprises to those who own the BRZ. This is like Subaru only selling the Premium trim, and coming out with the Limited trim in limited quantities.

If, and only if, these statements on "Monogram" this and that are even remotely true... I clearly purchased this vehicle for reasons that are share by a very small number of you. I didn't want dual climate control, fancy leds, JDM headlights, leather seats, heated mirrors, etc. I bought a light sports car that when the warranty expired, I could just make it a pure track car for the future Spec FR-S SCCA Class just like Spec Miata. :-)

I'm with USAA, 34, with a clean driving record. I just traded a 2013 FRS for a 2014 BRZ Limited. I'm saving $140 annually on insurance.

Too bad we can't get the RC trim level in the USA.

Def. like the white tach and front bumper on this over the BRZ. The only problem is....SCION No Haggle garbage. That's where the BRZ potentially can be had for a few thousand cheaper...

Plenty of people here have haggled on their FRS.

How much did you lose on the trade if you don't mind me asking?
