My only question is why have photos sync to it? I'd NEVER use that feature. My buddy has a GTI with the first model in it. He only uses the photos to show off. :P
Preamp output volts on RCAs aren't the best. Clarion unit seems better for sound.

True, I'm giving up the auto climate & push button for the FR-S. I can always trade up for the FR-S Release series 1.0, IF it comes with a push button start.

As for the auto climate, you can do what most people do and order the higher-end unit + parts (from Subaru), and then put it on a lower-end car (Scion). I've seen it done on other cars like (censored to prevent trolling). But I would suggest waiting until your warranty expires to prevent voiding it, that's just me of course.

I was thinking about doing this if i end up getting the BRZ. it shouldnt be that difficult to swap.

do you think the headlights would be a relatively easy swap as well? because i like the brz headlights more than the fr-s...

That depends on if the BRZ HIDs need wiring. I think some HID lights don't need wiring, IDK.

But why stop at the BRZ headlights? Check out the 86's headlights as well

this is true.
FRS --> put in HIDs and swap headlights
BRZ --> swap front bumper

It would be better to get the BRZ premium and swap the front bumper with a frs bumper. Push start with proximity is only $300-$400 aftermarket.

The dual climate control looks better but I bet it would be mad expensive to install it.

That pioneer app radio 2 looks good. Half the price of the bespoke! We still don't have real specs on the bespoke! Why is it $849 to $1200?!?

The leather Alcantara seats coupe be just seat covers, so price them at the subaru dealer parts department.

I'm willing to bet that at least one RS model will get the full package.

I doubt we will ever get it with the dual zone ac. Push start with proximity is easy to add, they did it with the tC.

The bespoke is going to be a failure, unless they add it as standard equipment in model year 2014.

They said they were going to continually update the cars every year, so we will see.

They need to make the HIDs standard on the FR-S. That is all it really lacks that will be hard and very expensive to add later. I wonder who made that decision not to offer hids on the FR-S?

LED taillights and halogen headlights...hmmm does not seem to go together well.

Maybe they assume we're all spirited drivers. No one sees our car until we pass them nearing the engine red line so all they see is the rear tail lights

Oh and you guys don't want factory or bespoke nav. There are beautiful pioneer nav and multimedia systems that are iphone and android compatible. They are the shit. The one I like goes for $800. Fuck Bespoke.
