I believe white(19%) gets more than red(14%)

^^not that I want to get involved in this ridiculous topic, but the insurance price did factor into my decision. I had pretty much decided on the FRS because of better availability, but when I was able to source the BRZ Limited, I was so happy. To top things off, from a monthly $$ output, the BRZ would end up costing me $20 less a month vs the FRS, due completely to insurance. It was a nice bonus IMO.

Hard to believe different people value different things...

SWP Limited FTW. I love all my gadgets on my car and wouldn't do it any different.

I'll put them all on to make everyone happy.

Most importantly, not related, when I make a fast left or right I noticed the wheel is bumping the side walls and making a noise, is that normal?

If your talking about you're tires rolling over the rim yeah mine does that to these tires have a very soft side wall and the fronts have a tendency to get pushed threw corners which will roll then over I thought I was going to pop the bead out one day at auto cross.

I went to a Subaru dealer for some touch up paint and they had like 6 BRZ on the lot for sale I asked them why the BRZ is becoming so available (sense so many are still waiting for theirs) they said that Subaru was capped on how many BRZ they could make before 2013 because of Toyota but once the first of the year came around they plan to try to meet the FR-S sales in North America. I think with the number of people using this as a daily driver they should have no problem becoming the more popular car vs. the more track based FR-S in the next year if production levels out to 50/50.

More "track based FR-S"? I don't quite understand LOL.

I feel like trolling so I'm going to post a link about how the BRZ beats the FR-S that was written by Motortrend in July of 2012.

Personally, I both think theyre great cars and I don't think any one of them beats the other. It is simply a matter of personal choice. Some people like navigation and HID, some people don't. That doesn't mean one car is better than the other. Get over it, they're both amazing cars

Mine came with four tires. One for each wheel. Not sure on the brzs though...

[jshadeck]

Everyone who plans to keep their suspension, wheels, tires 100% bone stock may benefit from the brz on the track, assuming they are an accomplished driver. i for one (and many others obviously) will be changing the only performance difference between the cars... So that leaves the price difference, front bumper, and options or "bells and whistles" and 2 color options only available on one or the other, as the deciding factor... Well that and the badge whores who are ashamed of a scion vs a subaru..

The FR-S came with stiffer suspension but I still put coilovers on mine the brz had a little more body roll when I drove it and according to playboy the FR-S is faster lol

Edit: but I do agree they are both great and you can't go wrong with either one and all minor differences are only personal preference.

Mine came with five tires, one extra just in case there is a flat.
