I'm in the UK so GT86 comes with 5 year warranty but the BRZ only comes with 3 years otherwise I would have gone for the Scooby.

I honestly don't understand why so many people prefer the BRZ. The BRZ's climate control knobs look cobbled together, the fake metal looks DUMB, the change pocket between the start button and the usb port looks too small to use, and the spot where a key would normally go looks half assed at best.
The FRS's climate control knobs aren't the nicest either, but atleast they aren't insulting my intelligence by trying to appear metal like. The exterior's are a wash to me, except for the BRZ spoiler which is again, not good. Then there's the options, I like simple. Dual climate control= pain in bum. |

To answer the thread question. Easy..... brand loyalty. I don't need another reason

Me neither. It seems a lot of people are turned off by the Scion brand for some reason.
Personally I think many aspects of the BRZ violate the spirit of the car. It's tuned for understeer at the limit. It's got a bunch of standard tech features like navigation, push button start, dual zone climate control. I prefer dead simple. Even though I might prefer Xenons, I even find the traditional halogens of the FRS somewhat back to basics in their own way. I also think the FRS front looks much better. The BRZ has this giant plastic piece in the front bumper which just throws off the whole look. |

Only the Limited has push start, dual climate, heater seats, heated side mirrors. The Premium has the Nav and HIDs, otherwise basically the same as the FRS (minus the suspension setup and a few other things).
