I don't think I've ever seen a mustache inside someone's mouth.

Therefore, calling it a mustache is possibly the most stupid comment you can make about this car.

Hey, it's fine if you don't like the bumper. But at least quit repeating an insult that doesn't make any sense like a flock of brain-damaged parrots.

You should get a BRZ Limited because Subaru is better.

Agree with the bold. Not the rest.


Don't think cars are "designed to have faces" anyway. It is just a result of having two headlights that look like eyes that make the rest of the front seem like a face. Not a deliberate design feature. (except maybe the Miatas with their moronic grins).

1) I beg to differ.
2) You were sayin'?








BRZ looks like this though:




Dont be jelly. About 8/10 males i know cannot grow a beard/mustache. Is ok haha



OP: Get the cheapest car you can with least miles and full of extras from dealer. Get the high end BRZ imo and later you can swap stuff to Toyota if you so wish. Resale is about 10-20% higher here for BRZ.

@Ultramaroon...
I genuinely believe that is the sentiment for many people. The funny thing is if you look the car over from top to bottom, the interior styling, the body work, etc...

It is clearly TOYOTA! From a visual/styling/design perspective Toyota was obviously the dominant influence. There are zero past Subaru models with any similar styling although there are many Toyota Easter eggs to be found on these cars regardless of the badge.

The mechanicals, identical in both cars, are clearly mostly Subaru (except for the fuel injection).

So people that think Subaru is better than Toyota are looking at and appreciating almost 100% Toyota design details when they admire their BRZ's.

The mustache and the smaller details that are different in the 2 twins represent a very small part of the overall design package.

BRZ and FRS limited editions are about 2-3k more than base. I went for base FRS and kinda regret my purchase. Only option I wanted was start button and not having to pull out my key every single time. All other options can be added for cheap.
For example, I added HID for only $20, rearview camera for $30, etc.
Subaru/Moostash is better car? I thought its same car. My FRS has Subaru marking all over the car.

anyone looking for a brz or a frs needs to go on cars.com. You can get some great deals if you are willing to travel to dealers who have had them on lots for months on end.

Don't worry about the "Subaru better"thing. They are just uppity elitists. The top tier BRZ just has more options/accessories. The push start button can be added for about 400$ if you can install yourself
