Nice car! Awesome man. I'm glad you got the car.
But why wouldn't they let you take it home now? There is a sold sign on it. bneale |

I don't know too much about this problem but from what I've heard, its something with the user manual being written wrong or printed wrong. I'm guessing they're just holding everything up for legal issues. I dunno if you can do this or not, but when you do get to take the car home I'd love to see some pics of the car in the sun. In these photos, the light is a little too flat. bneale |

I keep thinking to myself why would anyone buy an FR-S when for a little more money the BRZ has so many extra features.
Heated seats Decent Nav Unit HID headlights Better seat material (leather trimmed) Fog lights Dual zone climate control Push button start Spoiler LED lights (FR-S rear is LED though) The climate controls and heated seats I know I will miss.. The trouble is that the local Subie dealership has a very bad reputation so dealing there is out of the question. So FR-S it is.... |

*Heated Seats-Lived this long without them, enjoy them in the family car, but no big deal to me if not there *Decent NAV unit-Myself, can stand them! I have my smart phone if I need to look up where I'm going, but even then I rarely use that, since I tend to pre-map anywhere I'm going and commit it to memory. Hate something beeping at me where and when to turn! *Better seat material(leather trimmed)-Meh, I'm a cloth seat person, plus these days it's rarely real leather anyway, rather it's "leatherette" ie;VINYL!! *Fog lights-Doesn't even register with me as they're almost always useless, at least the factory ones. *Duel Zone Climate Control-Sorry but simplicity wins out there for me. 3 simple knobs always beats these electronic climate gizmos hands down everytime! *Push Button Start-Whatever *Spoiler-Ugly! Ruins the clean shape of the car. *LED lights-Cool feature, but like the heated seats, nice to have but hardly a deal breaker Anyway that Asphalt is one sweet looking colour! I'm having a tough time deciding between that or Whiteout when I get around to getting a FR-S |

1st bold point: ![]() 2nd bold point: You sound like an old codger who refuses to learn new things who is stuck in the past. By the way, I would prefer "Duel Zone Climate Controls" to "Dual Zone Climate Controls", that way I could have honor battles with my passenger and possibly make tempests in the car! 3rd bold point: It's not the LEDs that make those lights good, it's the fact they're HIDs and not halogen. Better visibility at night, it's a safety thing. Grats on the new car Rob_g, if the dealership wasn't lying and you really are allowing people to sit in it, thank you for that opportunity. May you enjoy it for years to come.... as soon as they sort out that documentation problem.

Old codger? How old are you to even know that word! ![]() I stand by what I said. The point of my post was to explain why some people might not see the BR-Z as a better value, not that it may not be to some people. Your first point. ![]() As for your answer to about my second point, I love tech and embrace it where I see it really improves things for me(just ask my wife who complains about always getting the latest tech gadget), but sometimes simplicity is much better than just having the latest electronic just for its own sake. If BMW's absolutely convoluted iDrive system isn't perfect example of that, I don't know what is! With very few exceptions, there hasn't been an auto journalist/reviewer who hasn't panned that completely overblown complicated system every time they've had to review a Bimmer with one. Not saying the BR-Z's is anything like that, but for ME, I prefer simple HVAC controls. Again, personal preference. Just like I prefer an iPhone over and Android, Mac over PC, etc. For me they're subjectively better for how I want things to work, but not objectively better. I'll grant you the LED and HID points, but again, when added up with why I like the FR-S more, it's not enough to sway my preference. Hey, everyone will prefer what they like better, and one car isn't necessarily worse or better than the other;it's what you like. Now go on and prove how much cooler/younger you are than me and commence flaming me. ![]() |

![]() I couldn't agree more on "To each their own" that's why I refuse to get either the Subaru or Scion, I will only purchase the Toyota GT 86 Limited... if they ever smarten up and release it here.
