Purchasing new car soon
I stopped by my toyota dealership in Ofallon,IL to see if they had any FR-S in stock and I am really thinking of purchasing one. My question is would if be better to buy the FR-S or the BRZ?
There are some things I like about the BRZ but is it really worth the difference between the FR-S and BRZ Limited or just buy the upgrades to get the FR-S up to what I want. Thanks |

It really comes down to YOU. Do YOU think the additions are worth it? Do you like the look of the BRZ better? (as minor as they are, but huge to some) Does the price difference justify the enhancements to YOU? Questions like that can only be answered by you. There are people on tHE Subaru side who will swear by the BRZ and deem the features worth it. And then there are FRS owners who think the FRS is perfect. Only you can decide. But do your research |

If you need help comparing, I found some articles by googling

I suggest that you try driving both. The twins have a very subtle difference in suspension that may make one seem better to you than the other. The difference is very small and difficult to quantify though I've seen that picking the right one for you will generally increase your personal lap times.
