Doesn't the FR-S come with keyless entry?

It could be more difficult than you'd think. The headlamps are one of the first things they assemble at the factory so that kind of worries me. Besides, I would want the Toyota 86 style headlamps anyway. Not to mention, the BRZ's turn signal indicator is a part of the headlamp.

The FR-S is not that much cheaper. And there are plenty of Scion dealers adding $4k markups.
Even a $22k 2013 mustang has HIDS and LED daytime running lights...Come on Scion...They will fix this in the 2014 model year. The FR-S needs HIDs, better stock stereo and the seat materials from the BRZ premium at the $25k price. |

It does but the terminology is kind of tricky. You still have to get the key out and press a button to unlock the doors with the FR-S. But with the BRZ Limited, you can just walk up to it and open the door and press the engine start button. You never have to get the key out - you just have to have it on you. This is not a big deal but it is something you can get used to and it's nice when your hands are full.

As I keep telling my friends:
Get the BRZ if youre looking for a daily driver replacement. They FR-S, while it is a good daily, is more suited to be the weekend/track car. Quite frankly, if you're more worried about a trunk liner then the driving dynamics, youre looking at the wrong car entirely.
