Quoted for the immense amounts of truth spoken here. The important things about this car are the amazing steering wheel, the bolstered seats, and the LSD. The scion has all of these. Not much space to complain here.

I like and appreciate the "bare bones" approach of the scion. If there was an A/C delete option, I probably would have jumped on that as well.

I prefer the FRS over the BRZ in every way except for the headlights, but really I don't give a shit about headlights anyway. The 90's looking interior was actually a selling point for me. It's more than about the look/nostalgia too, it's like toyota saying "this car is meant to be driven hard, the interior might be plain but the people we built this car for won't care in the slightest".

I wanted the brz cloth seats. I just liked them better. I do not give a crap about toyota, I am pleased with the Scion and like the badging. I would never take off the badging and replace with something else, to me that is just crazy stupid, it is like who you fooling anyway? Let's face it, if you wanted more upscale interior you are suppossed to by the BRZ not FR-S so stop crying that you didnt get what you wanted. Next thing you should be thinking is that you saved at least 2k for starters with scion, not to mention the overcharge all dealers seem to be adding on......another grand plus??? Wow, how you could make some changes with all that extra cash to please yourself. Wise up people.

I have a great drivers car for 25k, i have the next few years to upgrade the things i want, which is what this car is all about, they give us a great chassis, we make it our own....if this car was 30k i would be looking at other cars, ill just put on some gt86 headlights when the prices come down in a year and be happy

One of the big bonus of the interior for me is that they didn't integrate the radio into the dash and make it impossible to use a legit aftermarket radio. I hate how car makers keep building the radio into the dash or linking it to systems like the AC so you can't get rid of it.

Another benefit of the "90's" interior.
