Full disclosure, I have never owned a "luxury" car, but I've sat in my share of BMWs, Lexus's, Acura's, etc and I still like the FR-S interior. Funny thing is I also have a 4Runner and I remember reviewers' commenting on the "high-quality" plastics and leather-like materials there, but when they used it on the FR-S they call it cheap.

I don't personally think the BR-Z (non-Limited) is all that much nicer inside either. Yeah sure the leather seats are okay, but that silver dash thing on the BR-Z isn't necessarily nicer than the FR-S fake carbon-fiber look. Also I really like the white tach on the FR-S. However, the analog speedometer on the left is useless.... either adjust the scale to something more practical or give us some other info. One thing that I found useful in my 4Runner that I wonder why isn't included is the car range based on the amount gas left, but obviously isn't a big complaint since the gas gauge gives the same info.

i agree! i like the frs interior too! that silver peice of shit plastic on the dash on the brz really sucks! it looks terrible! believe the interior of the frs is just as good as the brz's interior!

It's been available for over an entire half a year now so major changes have to be expected. I can hardly believe I got sucked in to buying this obsolete 2013 model.

in twenty years or so,your first year model may be worth a "premium". only problem is,the car's value will be so eroded,it won't make 2 sh*ts worth a difference!

Radios that work
Gearboxes that don't grind
Tail-lights that dont leak
Body-shells that dont creak
CEL lights that are not comon
No Crickets
Camshaft sensors that don't fail
Windows that dont fail in the semi-down down position
Tires that stick to pavement
Pshyco traction control
Retarded spoke-in-wheels noise tube.
Noise control: have you driven one in sleet or down a gravel road? I know this goes against my next request...

Please leave the weight and handling combination alone; it is the one thing that is perfect on this car.

Complain.... complain..... complain.....
