I do love how it shows you what address number you are at and what is provided at upcoming interstate exits.
Lol you should try our 2012 E350...it's very intuitive with a circular scroller that you use for everything. So if you want to put in "Baseline Road" you have to: scroll to the left for B, scroll left for A, scroll right for S, scroll left for E, and so on and so forth lol.

You also can't change addresses while in drive unless you use the voice command. I'd say the BRZ unit is a step up. Doesn't mean it's good, of course a phone is going to be better because you have a keyboard & a lot more processing power.

Congratulations! I did the same thing, after owning the FRS for a year I traded it in for a BRZ. Sold the FRS to CarMax for 21k and used the leftover cash as a downpayment for the BRZ. Stuck with the same color though

Totally worth it, now I can focus on getting real upgrades for the car instead of trying to balance out cosmetic, performance, and little stuff that should have been on the car to begin with (HIDs, push start, heated seats, etc.).

Yep my thoughts too. No cosmetic upgrades really needed. I feel good about the choice. I had considered a 15 WRX but I love this car too much.

It is your money, you're a grown man, make your decisions and use the BRZ owners to validate your decision if you feel like it.

My question was about getting the best price. As you said, I'm a grown man. I don't need validation to make up my own mind. It's all good.
