it is like you are buying a mercedes S class, and you are telling the dealer to replace the leather seats with cloth seats. I have not seen anyone doing that so far.

Compare BRZ Lmtd with real Toyota GT86 limited. Then, we have real comparison. Other than that, it is just a crippled GT86! How does that sound? Better? lololol

just because I'm speaking of facts, it does not mean I'm considered trolling. lolol. Just be happy with your purchase and respect people's opinions. Not everyone would say anything what you would like to hear.

Somebody enlightens me! Why are those glowing craps comparable to leather seats?

Leather is better than cloth. Fact! Unless you don't want leather and you specifically want cloth. Then cloth is better. Fact! Now repeat that for every difference. You have an opinion, not a fact. No charge for the education, you're welcome.

I had the chance to buy both, I chose a 10 series. Fact. And take your own advice at the end of your post bro.

It does not seem like you understand the definition of "crippled." Maybe you should stop using it?

Leather with center alcantara isn't really leather, I've had cars with leather seats for the past 8 years, After a month in the cloths seats... I don't miss the leather seats... for the first time in all my years driving I no longer burn my ass and end up with a sweaty back!

But I guess it's the first time you have a car with leather seats, well... semi leather seats.

Cost wise, cloth is no where close to leather. A pair of converse sneakers are nowhere close to a pair of wolverine 1k. I hope that educates your sense of cost. I respect, you want cloth you got it. But, I'm speaking of truth. Truth hurts, I know.

I talk and write whenever I like. Thanks

When you look up the definition of crippled make sure you check out truth as well. Please educate yourself for the good of the forums.

Get the Frs....the BRZ has absolutely nothing to do with the legacy of the car, Subaru was just a contracted slave, so all you Subie owners shouldnt walk around thinking every FRS owner wanted a BRZ...most true Toyota fans never considered a BRZ...do you actually think Subaru could have made this car on their own? Hell no it would have been a Awd understeering blob with weak internals...dude get the 10th anniversary it looks sweet at night with sprinkles of yellow and light blue...

This is the single dumbest thing I've ever read here. Congrats, stupidity like that takes real effort.

Someone else said it better: ". . . what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

There was a miniscule kernel of truth buried in all that piss and vinegar. Hot damn, that was vicious man! Yeesh..

I gotta say, when I got my first Subaru, I was shocked at how friendly and congenial fellow Subie owners were to each other on the street. Come to a light, roll down the windows, short meet and greet, wave and take off w/ smiles. Of course, pulling up next to a Mitsu yields the complete opposite response.

When I first got on the forums I was surprised by all the division between Toyota and Subie owners. Frankly bizarre to me. I hope the customer base is not reflective of the parent companies relationship. I fear it might be.

People need to take a breathe and appreciate what's going on here w/ this car. Frankly I'm enjoying shopping both TRD and STI catalogs. How cool is that?!

Say what you want but its all facts....and while we're at it why did you buy a BRZ? Since you're the expert on what is rational...

Billy Madison is a great brain drain

The real division is the fanbase, people loyal to a badge. I was partial to Subaru because of my Outback, honestly I don't get brand crazy. I just like getting an awesome car for the money given a certain budget, and a few thousand more for the laundry list of extras was a no-brainer. I don't resent anyone for buying an FR-S if it was the right decision for them, what I resent is retarded, baseless fanboyism. See below.

1) There wasn't one fact in that nonsense 2) bells, whistles, and stiffer stock suspension. And despite the BRZ headunit shortcomings, the FR-S stock radio is a fugly beast that looks like it's from 1992.

The biggest thing I envy on the FR-S is the people servicing the warranty.
