Which one should I buy?

[whaap]

I like the interior of the BRZ Limited. However, you're forced to take on the spoiler which is a little bit too much rice for me since it's non-functional and I don't want/like nevigation. Since I like the nose of the FR-S better that's the one I went with. If I decide I really want a leather interior (which I'm beginning to doubt) I can always get Katzskins.

Oh, but it is functional. Reduces drag by 0.01cd.

The Limited BRZ is the most prettiest one on the road in person. I would still swap out the bumper though. I like the FRS one better.

Subaru seems to be a pain in the ass to deal with in some cases but if you want more luxury goods they got 'em.

I just spent the extra cash modding my FR-S.

If you're a younger guy/girl get a BRZ because the "mature" look is more appealing to young people who are trying desperately to appear mature...

If you're an older guy/girl (like me) get an FR-S because it's more "youthful" and being older and mature sucks...

If you like the frs front end more, then get the frs unless you really need/want the extras that come with the limited because basically same car. I preferred the front end of the frs, wanted to avoid swapping bumpers, and decided that I'd rather use the money I saved for customizing, as I didn't care for the accessories even though the package is a great deal. I disliked the brz's silver interior trim, push start button location, spoiler, call me old skool but didn't want the auto climate crap, didn't need heated seats or alcantra, or even the stock nav (preferred to install my own). The only thing I really wanted were the hid's but even then, I prefer the look of the 86 headlights so (saving up for those or aftermarket).

I went with the FRS to avoid the 2K markups on the BRZ. Theyre really the same car, but as others said, it depends on what you're truly interested in.

I don't care about the whole alacantra/heated seats thing personally.

I want BRZ headlights but I can add them.

Didn't want the Nav in the BRZ because I'd rather put my own unit in.

Like yhe FRS front better.

This is how I figured out which was right for me.

only 2k? When I had got mine they were selling BRZ's here for 36k.

I prefered everything about the FR-S aside from pushbutton start, which ill get eventually after everthing else is done.

This really isnt something you should ask other people tho, its the same damn car just pick the one with the options you like.

The BRZ is actually cheaper for me despite the higher payment since the insurance is lower. Throw in the Nav and HID's and it was a no-brainer for me. Plus the FR-S front end looks a bit ricey to me where the BRZ looks like it won't age as bad. It really depends on the person.

what he said.

I like the creature comforts of the brz more and felt the price difference were worth it vs the hassle of diy after to save a few bucks in payment. I did like the frs front end better but that faded & the nav was the deal breaker for me. I've driven both and I can easily kick out the back when I want and the rides are both equally stiff so the little differences are just that, little. Besides if you get the scion you'll prob change the badges to 86s Sit/drive both so you don't have regrets later and def keep the s2k!

I paid msrp, not a penny over...do your homework and you wont get boned!

You can't go wrong with either (I know it's been said to death, but I wanted to get it out there so that I don't sound like an elitist).

I actually like the BRZ front end (bumper and headlights) over the FR-S. I still don't really see the "moustache". To me it just looks like a crossbar...and since we have to put a license plate on the front here, it is a good place to mount it without being right on the paint. And yes I do agree that there is a bit of maturity to the shape of the front bumper. The side vents are a nicer touch as well IMO, but something I would have just swapped out if I had bought an FRS. So not really a deal breaker in that respect.

The interior was absolutely what sold me though. Many say that it's just added weight and they don't care, but I think (in Limited form), it completely transforms the perceived quality and look of the interior. I came from slightly higher end cars, so I really do enjoy the little features (we all know what they are).

So basically I've just reiterated everything everyone else has already said, when voting for the BRZ lol.

Just my opinion, and again you absolutely can't go wrong with either.

Difference between Premium and Limited is only 14lbs per the manufacturer's literature.

Im kinda stuck on that thought also...I like the frs bumper....but like the BRZ limited interior...have a lot to think about in the next few months

P.S. the BRZ limited is the closet thing to an actual gt86 we can get

I went BRZ Sport Tech (CDN Limited) for the nicer interior, heated seats etc

I originally ordered an FRS and then cancelled because I knew that I would regret not spending the few extra k for the nicer amenities.
