As far as the engine, Toyota is only responsible for the fuel injection system. The rest is Subaru. I've never driven a boxer before so maybe others sound better, but I'm loving the "warble" as you get on the gas.

I have the base, but I don't think the climate control system is any different. It doesn't matter of the auto mode or temperature tho. As long as you turn the circulation on, the A/C compressor will start. When it reaches the set temp, the system would adjust the air flow and the air temp, but the compressor is still on when circulation. Only when turning the circulation off can you have the air flow w/out compressor on.

As for the engine sound, don't make my word for it. I have only heard either one from sound clips. Never got a chance to actually sit in a STi or BRZ and drove it. What I know is, the STi stock exhaust sounds more badass than our Z for sure. I have heard couple on streets. Maybe the BRZ does sound as good as STi.
