European spec. BRZ vs. GT86

Hi everyone,

I've decided to go back to my old dreams and get another japanese rocket I previously had only Toyotas (for Japanese cars): Celica st185 gt-four , Celica ST185 GT-Four Carlos Sainz, Supra MKIII 600rwhp 7M-GTE and... AYGO )

So, my question is do we have any Europeans in here with BRZ? And what are european differences BRZ vs. GT86? Scion version is a striped euro GT86, same goes with BRZ. But euro spec BRZ and GT86 are totally the same in regards of equipment. Also the price i the same in my country. I'm leaning towards BRZ as it has a bit more refined look and does not scream "race me now!!!!11!!1!!".

Does the version with NAV have the same headunits in GT86 and BRZ?

The us BRZ is not a stripped version of the international BRZ.

P.s. the standard UDM model has more features than the base JDM model.

The Limited BRZ in the US is the same as the Limited GT Toyota 86 in Japan and GTS in Australia. Has all the same features. S Trim BRZ in Japan=Limited BRZ in US. Same car. Just different designation for trim levels. The BRZ in the US is our "Toyota GT 86".

Depending on the manufacturing date, the BRZ uses a different refrigerant for the AC system than the GT86.
