I have to get the Subaru BRZ to get all those; which is fine but I really wanted Toyota badges on mine

I'm surprised. We get no choice on most of that - it's all standard. Alcantara/heated seats and satnav were the only extras - the rest stock.
Makes me feel a little better as ours costs comparatively more, but I suppose we're paying for the 'extras'.

Yep, I clearly live in the wrong country

They still use English measurments in England. Kinda like the UK still uses the Pound when the rest of Europe is using the Euro

I believe that the readout is changeable from mph to kph. All those white spots.....sheep?

Yep. If you notice the analogue speedometer has both scales should we venture onto the continent. As Art_Mighty states, in the UK we still use imperial measurements predominantly, except science & engineering and much academic work is now metric.
I wish we'd go the whole hog and go metric but there are so many Luddites with their heads in the sand or up their arses I can't see us changing anytime soon.

ETA fix typo

Yep. Millions of the feckers over there. You have to take care avoiding them. Dumbass things just walk into the road and stare at you.
