Occasional Rough Idle P015a, P015B, P0301

2018 BRZ tuned with a header and flex fuel kit. I've been running e85 exclusively since 2019.

In late September it started up with a rough idle one morning but drove fine otherwise, later that...

We ain't gettin that.

Although in all fairness there is probably only a teeny niche of people that will buy a Yaris that ends up costing 40k. So the limited Japan exclusive run probably makes...

I like the new proportions, particularly the side profile is improved and that was one of my hang ups with the previous car. While proportions are not 1 to 1 with the concept car, these are much...

I'm not a fan of the way the roofline meets the trunk on these hatchbacks, paired with the long hood the car looks odd and too long to be a civic. I think if they really wanted something this big and...

I don't think it's launching this fall, the Subaru press release describes it as a premiere, so a reveal of the final car is what I understand. I believe spring 2021 is still the target launch date.

2) The ugly tractor sounds the engine makes at low RPM. (Admittedly this may be exacerbated by my cat-less headers and stock exhaust)

What is that, a car for ants? Is that some small scale prototype? How is Toyota going to sell a high performance vehicle that can't even fit a driver with a helmet?
