If you could add 1 thing to your FRS/BRZ/86 what would it be?

I prefer to deal with Toyota. It's way more convenient to for service locations (for me), and I like the Scion esthetic details better. If I cared about the extra features I would have bought them, but thanks.
I'm with you on that, but will disagree on the last point. Not everyone that bought the Scion could afford the extra stuff in the BRZ and that's precisely why they bought the Scion. For many others, they wanted the BRZ but it was much easier to find an FR-S.

That would've been a viable option for me despite the lack of heated seats, but I can't deal with no color options. I checked out the 10 series before I even went near a Subaru dealership. Talked to the head of the Scion sales department for an hour and a half. Super nice guy despite the salesman attitude. Didn't realize how minor his salesman attitude was until I got to the Subaru dealership.

Sadly, neither Subaru nor scion offer the color I want (baby blue), and Silver Ignition was the closest... so it kinda worked on my favor aside from the fact that BRZs aren't sold here (and I don't like the front bumper)...

Another 50 HP and 50-65 ft. lbs. of torque with the elimination of the power dip. With that extra power needs to come better looking factory rims and tires.

I would love to have rain-sensing wipers. It rains like no tomorrow here so it will be a highly appreciated feature.
