Changing Premium to Limited?

[Jayde]

I was going to provide my 2 cents but then I realized this thread is from April...

I got a GBS premium exactly because I don't like the spoiler more than I want all the limited stuff. Limited features without spoiler would have been nice, but the premium still has a really nice feature set.

check cars.com everyday, because there's always new limited brz's being posted.

That's how I found mine and you don't necessarily have to wait as long.

I have a kind of Auto climate control in my 4Runner and I hate it. I like the dumb climate control in my 03 Miata. 4 fan speeds are fine for me. I think that push button start is way over rated, and I agree with the other post that stated getting into the car with a key is a lot faster than having to suit up for the motorcycle.

- Yeah the HVAC controls are not as expensive looking, but they looked fine to me in the flesh. I actually liked how they operated (simple, intuitive and will still function properly in 10-15 years).

- The Subaru cloth seats are very nice in person, much darker looking than in photos.

- Little silver accents on the dash can be purchased from the parts dept later, if you want them.

- Push button start is only useful for showing off to 18-25 y/o girls. The key works fine for me. The push start is not anymore convenient, just has "cool factor."

- I like the front end better without the fogs

- I like the TRD duckbill spoiler, and will add that later, so I am happy I am not paying for the BRZ spoiler.

- I actually think the heated seats would be nice if I lived in a cold area, but I don't so I'm fine without them.

- Lastly, the Premium still comes with the awesome looking (and HID) headlights, and a good electronics package (Navigation, bluetooth, etc) which are features I do value.

Bottom line for me was $2,000 is a fair chunk of change that I could use on things I want (more than enough to fund my set of PF01s and 235/40/17 Star Specs or R1R). The BRZ Premium, to me, is a great deal.

That is the EXACT reasoning I had when I decided on the premium over the limited as well! The premium is still a VERY solid upgrade from the FRS in terms of equipment and the limited doesn't have anything I'll really miss.

good call.
