Is there a particular reason you're set on the 10 series or Monogram?

I feel your pain, hopefully you are ok and insurance covers everything. They probably won't cover the extras "mods"but I assume since its totaled you can remove those.

Probably the leather, push start, heated seats and all the cool BRZ appointments in the FRS?

Would make sense, there are plenty of reasons to buy either but sometimes I feel as if people make their purchase without thinking through all of their options.

Sorry to read about your accident.

I hope you and any passengers are OK.

I suggest you rent a car for a week or so, to give yourself time to find a nice replacement.

May I ask what happened?

Any year FR-S or BRZ will do. It might also be in your best interest to look at other cars as well.

Other suggestions here are solid. Either of those you listed are great choice or BRZ.

A big plus for me tho, is the rear camera, makes backing up and such easier also without having to guesstimate much, just don't always rely on it :p

I love how everyone when the FR-S first came out was like "Dude get the purist model that's gonna come from Toyota with nothing it's gonna be the scion FR-S". Now everyone in this thread that has an FR-S would get a BR-Z instead I too am in that group BR-Z has a lot of already standard that I do like

If you can't get a "limited" FR-S with all the frills then the BRZ is an excellent choice except you have to haggle with the dealer (Subaru dealers like to haggle with their typical 4WD models more) and the front bumper skin.

All I want out of my FRS is dual zone climate. I have it on my work truck and it's so nice not having to mess around with climate controls on long drives. Just adjust the temperature every now and then and you're golden.

Get a BRZ with seat warmers. Then swap front bumper+headlights=win

If I total my FRS, im going for a 2015+ BRZ, then swapping the ugly bumper and headlights...well headlights are nice just the fogs and bumper eww.
