IM TORN.... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

haha

hey guys, i am torn between gettinga 2014 FR-S or 2015 BRZ.

I already made a down-payment (refundable) on the 2015 brz, however i noticed that the 2014 FR-S are on mad sale.

+2000 dollar cash incentive (which i plan to do anyways) + 1000 grad rebate (vs. brz 750)

Plus, fr-s is already slightly cheaper.

As it is now, i could get the 18' TRD wheels + Exhaust system, and still be cheaper than the BRZ!

As of now, the ETA of my 2015 BRZ is in september, so aanother bonus is no more waiting!

However,

the cons are: no subie

, no push start + hid+led +keyless entry + leather seats + heated seats + auto climate + heated mirrors + crystal white pearl

Is it worth the trade off? and What would you do!

The interior in quite a bit nicer in the BRZ than the frs if you care about that sort of thing. Plus there are a lot less.

Get the BRZ.

Get the 2016 Monogram FRS with Twin sequential Turbo. Comes with JDM T Shirt gun turret. My friend's aunty's cousin who bought a Prius from the Toyota dealer told me about this.

Shrug it's the same car. Why pay more?

If you can get a good deal on a Monogram FRS, that would give you most of your options back...are those on sale where you are?

...then it just depends on which front bumper you prefer...

...and is that worth the extra money?...and time...

Look for a monogram, if that doesn't work then get the BRZ.

Cliu91 · 07-10-2014, 07:13 PM

Too be honest, the BRZ interior IS nicer... but regardless the interior is sub-standard compared to most 2014-2015 cars nowadays.

LXXXV1 · 07-10-2014, 07:23 PM

Monogram. I believe it's $1000 off ALL 2014's. My brother just drove his home last Monday. Few still around in Socal but not sure how they're doing up north.

JARE_ee · 07-10-2014, 07:43 PM

The monograms are really rare, up north in BC. I was looking at that as my first option, and chose BRZ because i couldnt get the monogram in the beginning.

themajesticone · 07-10-2014, 07:46 PM

I wouldn't get the TRD wheels. They aren't very impressive nor wide. You would have a better time looking at after market wheels running a squared set up of 8.5" or greater

swpbrz · 07-10-2014, 07:52 PM

Keyless entrée has been a game changer for me. Not sure id like going back. otherwise unless your concerned with image id go scion. I'd feel weird letting a girl in my scion but suburu has less childish assumptions that come with it. that's a bs insecurity reason.

Rota · 07-10-2014, 08:05 PM

Get what makes you happy. You don't want to spend all that money and regret it. Honestly, just get the BRZ and put the mods on later.
