The Honest Ladder
Be honest about your calendar first. If the track days are more aspiration than booked dates, Limited at $35,860 saves you $2,500 and keeps everything that makes a BRZ a BRZ โ the Torsen limited-slip, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s, the full 228 hp, and your choice of 6MT or automatic. That's 95% of the experience. The tS earns its price when the Brembos actually get hot โ not when they ride around town looking good.
There isn't one โ this is the top, and the only step up is a different model. The tS already carries the hardware ceiling of the BRZ line: STI-tuned dampers and Brembos are the parts serious owners upgrade to, fitted at the factory. Past this, the step up isn't a trim at all โ it's tires, entry fees, and seat time. And honestly, for what a BRZ is built to do, we're not sure what other model we'd even point you to.
No pressure either way โ we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $35,860 or $38,360.

Straight Answers
The questions buyers ask right before they decide on this trim.
For a track-day regular, yes โ and buying it upfront is cheaper than building it, with parts, labour and warranty all saying so. At $38,360 starting MSRP you get STI-tuned dampers and a Brembo braking system with 4-piston fronts: brakes that survive lapping sessions that cook the stock stuff. It's built for what happens after the third lap.
Hardware, not badges. STI-tuned dampers โ the suspension setup you'd upgrade to anyway, done at the factory โ and the Brembo braking system with 4-piston fronts. The BRZ foundation stays the same underneath: the high-revving 228-hp boxer and the identical rear-drive balance. There's no power increase at this rung.
No, and we'll talk you down to the Limited ourselves. That $2,500 buys suspension and brakes you'll only feel at eight-tenths, which you can't legally reach on the 5. If your Sundays are canyons and cars-and-coffee, the Limited at $35,860 starting MSRP already carries the good stuff โ the Torsen diff and the Michelins.
No โ this is the top of the BRZ line and the only step up is a different model. The tS already carries the hardware ceiling: STI-tuned dampers and Brembos are exactly what serious owners upgrade to, fitted at the factory. Past this, the step up isn't a trim at all โ it's tires, entry fees and seat time.
