Actually it's more than that
  • High grade brake pads (High M pads)
  • Under cover
  • Rear fog lamp
  • Frameless mirror
  • Seat heater
  • Knee pad
  • Shark fin antenna

I was not aware the BRZ Limited was without those features. Thanks. Really glad I'm not looking at settling for a BRZ now.

No this.

Edit: Now he continues on with some differences that are no different than what I listed, purely aesthetic. Interesting how he changes his tone the second a Mod shows up.

Pictures of the mirror and fog lights I believe in that one. I've heard of the under cover but never seen a picture of it. Shark fin is news to me.

When talking about one's personal preference it still matters. Also the suspension changes how it handles. I believe my concern for the local Subaru dealer is also valid. Previously confirmed by Rob_g on the 1st page of this thread, complete with their notice of hearing and list of offenses.

As for blu_, he asked what the differences were, I gave them. He disregarded them and/or ignored them and claimed them to be nothing. If that is not trying to incite an enraged response, aka trolling, then I'm not sure what he was trying to get at there. His next response wasn't much better.

Maybe they changed it. I hate the white tach, for that reason alone I would buy the BRZ lol

I never said your opinions were invalid. My experience is the complete opposite, I wouldn't trust ANY Toyota dealer around here but have a GREAT Subaru dealer, that all depends on where you live unfortunately.

He wasn't trolling. The differences are not important to him, that's not the definition of trolling.

He relaxed because I ASKED both of you to do so.

Correct. No USDM car has the other stuff. I'd love the knee pads and speaker cover areas since they are nice touches, the rest I'm personally indifferent to and the brake pads are worthless to me (I'll run the pads I want regardless).
