I'll guarantee that there is no change to the engine.

They were forgotten! I was thinking of ordering a set but now I will put it on my Christmas wish list as I will spend my money else where, ie: backup camera.

~~I had the dealership leave the shipping plastic on. Will go get it Opti-Coated tomorrow.

Oh? I got my vancouver 2014 brz 2-3 weeks ago. Where are you getting yours opticoated?

We're getting our shipment in next week. Subaru has not changed the engine (FYI). They know about it, (I believe). It hasn't caused damage to engines and hopefully will not.

Doing below invoice on fourteens FYI for anyone.

Well the US version likes to not have the knee pads either Subaru site is now showing 2014 model. Also doesn't look like the US version doesn't get Starlink but has aha

I've owned the car for a year now, but I still like going on Subaru's site, selecting my color and doing a panoramic rotation.

AHA infotainment system...

Just got it done by Ken Wilson at Autowerkes Exclusive in Maple Ridge. He did an amazing job. I'm really happy with it.

Was there any difference between the '13 US model to the '13 Canadian?
I wonder if US will be getting the knee pads if the Canadian version didn't. hmmmm..

Biggest difference was the Canadian '13 had a different Pioneer head unit and the USB / iphone input is located in the glovebox rather than just under the HVAC controls.

From the looks of the US Subaru site now both the Canadian and US '14 BRZ's are equipped the same (I.e. Only change is the addition of aha to the head unit).

Is there another place where I can check for TPMS?

While you turn the car on and all the status lights are illuminated, you should see the TPMS symbol if it has it. It's a yellow exclamation mark. Though, I'm not sure if getting the light necessarily means the system is active, but the lack of a light should mean it's not active.

If the 2014's aren't coming with the knee pads, the $100 more price tag for just the AHA feature makes more sense now.

Glad I got a 2013 instead of waiting.
