Yep.


Edit: Oh and I never even noticed the second set of steering wheel controls until I linked this pic! Presume it has the info display same as the BRZ as well.

Congrats! I have an 860 here in the states. I think your photos convinced me to get rid of the stripes.

Didn't know push start was possible with a manual. That's cool

Also on my regular 86 I have 2 sets of steering wheel controls.

And just now I noticed that the climate control panel appears to be from a BRZ. I have 2 larger dials on the outside and one small in the middle, in black plastic.

You have two sets of controls? The cruise is on the wheel? Thought the 17 86 only had the left set.


Sure push start can work in any car. Just a button instead of a key activated switch so really no different between auto and manual.


Yep. That is the duel zone automatic system same as a BRZ.

Yeah, only difference is I have to push in the clutch when pressing the start button.

The car is "solar orange" with no stripes. I'm located in Canada and they only come without stripes here. I actually prefer the look without the stripes and the solar orange looks unbelievable in person.

Price OTD was $40k CAD ($30k USD) which includes 13% sales tax.

I had no idea they were selling the limited editions here in Canada. Great choice!

Autos have to push the brake so there really isn't even an extra step involved.

We only are getting something like 50 of them if I recall so it is a score to grab one.

Ah, touche. Out of the 14 cars I've owned, none have been auto lol.

Out of my 40 three were. Weirdly enough two of them were the fastest cars I owned and even being ATs they were far from stock trannys.
The wife needs them.
Although I must confess I enjoyed my brief drive in the AT FRS I tested out and the new gen CVT in the wife's new Impreza doesn't disgust me like her Mitsu one did. I could be persuaded depending on what the car was.

color is probably the best i've seen since Hyper Blue.

It's amazing how much quicker and smoother new autos are, technology has come a long way since I drove my first "slushbox" lol. BUT I prefer the control I have with 3 pedals and a stick shift.
