Have lived in Canberra - primary thing you need is a car to get you out of Canberra.

If you want a GT immediately, there is one at Lander Toyota. I wanted a GTS but opt'd for GT instead. The only that I regret is the brakes, smaller on GT but if i go down turbo rate i would be changing them on either model.
The other thing is Auto climate compared to manual air con. Pedals, minor interior changes, but saving $6000. I am going to do proper leather interior, gram light wheels, gkw v3. At least with the saving i can build my way with the $6k saving.

The headlights and better brakes was what sold me on getting the GTS instead of the GT. Leather seats are nice and Sat Nav a luxury though

i love my heated seats too and i'm in Brisbane lol

Funny thing with leather seats - they get colder so then you need leather HEATED seats. And in summer naked skin on hot leather burns.

Cloth doesn't have the same issue, so imho makes more sense for QLD.

I know GTS MT & AT definitely have LSD on them but I thought GT doesnt, or at least GT AT does not have LSD.
I would pick GTS over GT for the LSD as well as the other goodies...

Only GT Auto doesn't have Torsen LSD.

I love heated seats. I use them instead of the heater.

Since I am doing only very very minor modifications on the car (e.g UK 86 spoiler and maybe TRD or aero type kit) - I'm going with the GTS.

Won't be tracking or TC/SC this car, it will hold for resale.
But glad we've been given a choice.

i just had this convo with the dealer today the reason im going to go GTS over GT is that when i sit in the GTS to me it feels nicer not because of the leather seat couldn't be stuffed and not because of the sat nav i never use em, its just feels better to me the "carbon" look over the glovebox is what really won me over, but thinking practiacally i am going to be waiting 18 months and i figure thats how long its going to take me to save up the money for the car anyway so i figure go the GTS and have a car assigned to me so that when next year comes and i have the money i dont have to wait another _ _ months to get the car

The 5 - 6K alone is worth the digital speedo. Well not really.
But I wouldn't be able to drive legally without it, since there isn't one on the GT

My dealer here has a GT and a GTS. I'd go GTS just for much better interior quality alone, it's much nicer IMO, doesn't feel so cheap. It's not just the seats that are different, but door trims, plastics, etc. The two major things I want in this car is HIDs and the digital speedo.

Saying that, BRZ is the spec for me I think. GTS spec minus heated seats and nav, which I don't want. If I can save ~$3k and get free servicing, bonus!

The BRZ comes with heated seats if you get the leather pack.
