Identical twin sister that did not have a nose job and upper lip electrolysis.

Dude, put that money into aftermarket seats, a nice head unit, etc. if you want a nicer interior. Much smarter.

Not really so silly when you consider that one person is in sun and the other is in shade . . . almost always. And our little car can get overwarm or chilly pretty quickly. The side to side adjustment has been a boon, at least for long trips. A luxury, yes, but quite useful.

And the half-second wait is much less less important to me than fumbling in my pocket to find the right button every time. And you can hold up your hands and say, "See, he knows me!" Once again, to each his own (for me, the only thing better than having buttons to push is not having to push them)!

It's like someone trading the 2014 FRS for a 2015 because the 2015 had the shark fin and padded knee upgrade. Not worth the loss.

I'd only trade in if it was something major, like you have automatic and want manual (vice-versa) or a turbo model comes out.

I actually do want a manual now after driving a friends mt wrx for a week so I'll most likely be trading for a new BRZ in the coming months. If not new used with low miles

I will sell you my vortech sc 2013 brz with 14k for $24k.

IMO the regret you are feeling now will not compare to the regret you feel a year after trading in your car for pretty much the same car. Even if you are switching from automatic to manual. Just accept your original decision, LEARN FROM IT, and your next car decision will be even better if not perfect for you.

With that said. It's your money and, if you have the money, do what you want. IF you have the money.

I would make the switch. All the appointments make it feel like a more put together car. Even if it isn't.

A limited BRZ was the only option for me, besides a monogram FRS or release series. I just couldn't have the basic dash and non leather seats. Personally, I like the BRZ's front end better as well, plus it has a Subaru badge....so... yeah, do it.
