Fiesta so I can pass that minivan
I choose to open a window that auto-closes in 3 seconds.
Assuming prices are the same, BRZ. More fun.
The problem is that Fiesta STs sell for $19-20k OTD brand new. While a FRS/BRZ is closer to $26k unless you find a pre-refresh 2016 model. The BRZ isn't $6000 better.
Test driven both, bought the ST, but mainly because it was a much better deal. The BRZ actually feels faster even though it's slower, probably due to the added noise and seating position. Feels a lot sportier and "raw" in the clutch and shifter too. But on the other hand, BOOOOOOOOST.
Can't go wrong with either.
How do the seats compare?
Slower RWD over a tuned FWD any day.
Ripping the ebrake to drift a FWD gets old pretty quick. Sliding the rear around with power feels sexy.
The BRZ has pretty nice seats, but these Recaros are fucking god tier.
