Ha, thanks for the large yellow exclamation mark, no ambiguity there even if I need reading glasses.

However, I don't see it in the status lights when I turn the car on. For now I'd have to assume that the Canadian 2014 BRZ does not have TPMS. Bummer.

I'm glad the '13 models didn't come with them. I can check my own tire pressure, and it makes swapping wheels easier not having to worry about additional sensors.

Subaru's website just updated! 2014s are able to be "built" now (:

and yes.. there is no more GBS

No knee pads?? Can you give us more info on the radio. Is it the same radio as before with just an AHA update, or is the radio a totally different model with a different interface?

The radio looks identical, except the bootup screen has the Subaru Starlink logo and the radio is Aha capable. No stitched knee-pads...

Did not realize that Premium didn't get antitheft feature. I still think it's funny how "all-weather" to Subaru means heated seats and mirrors (and wipers sometimes). Really it's a "cold weather" package since none of them have the option to cool (like the seats or steering wheel).

HeubergerMotors · 10-04-2013, 05:05 PM

All weather package -- usually heated front window wiper blade element, side mirrors and heated front seat.

But BRZ doesn't get front window wiper.

HeubergerMotors · 10-04-2013, 05:06 PM

The only thing, is when we add a turbo, cooled seats, that jacks the price up then we're getting into 370z territory which is why the BRZ is an affordable sports car.

chanomatik · 10-04-2013, 05:10 PM

I know this! BRZ is my 6th Subie and my 2011 WRX Limited had all the heated elements. I'm just saying that "all-weather" is a mislabel. I'm okay with that for the price we get these cars from Subaru for.

no knee pads - yes, that's disappointing

- I'd guess a lot of people will be buying the '14 frs knee pads from scion.

I, too, am disappointed that the '14 BRZ I ordered won't be coming with the knee pads as rumored. But I went and test-drove a '14 FR-S yesterday just for the hell of it and I gotta say... the knee pads aren't that noticeable. They're pretty thin and simply provide a leathery surface rather than much padding. They also add a bit of a luxurious touch to the interior, but I don't think you would miss them unless you were auto-xing in shorts.

Inspected 2014 BRZ that arrived at our dealer on October 4th, 2013, confirmed that none of these are included on the 2014 BRZ models as previously mentioned in Drive magazine.

Thanks for the update/correction - looks like the promo you mentioned from Subaru Drive magazine is still online:
Subaru Drive magazine - Summer 2013 issue - page 4

Maybe its worth mentioning to them that a correction is in order?
