Have actually been busy with real work for a couple of days. Rare, but it happens occasionally.

I'll make it work. For some reason, I don't remember the seatbelt being an issue during the test drive. Probably because I was busy taking low speed hairpins at 2-3 times the posted speed limit and not crash the car into the guardrails.

Yeah me too. I didn't have a problem during the test drive either but I was wearing a collared shirt so I didn't notice how high the belt was because it was under the collar.

@FRSBRZGT86FAN - That would just make it bulky and maybe even more uncomfortable, it would certainly be too warm and make you sweaty.

I'm going to try adding a loop and holding it to the bolster with safety pins for a while until I figure out the right height. Who knows, that may even be enough that I won't feel the need to spend a bunch of $$ to have the problem solved.

While doing lapping at the track the belt felt like it was starting to chafe my left shoulder/neck after a while. Granted, it was a hot day, I was wearing a short sleeve t shirt and I am around 5'7 to 5'8. Adjustable belt height would have been nice but I might eventually put a shouler belt pad there although most look cheap and tacky while others are overpriced and inconvenient to purchase.

^I use those. Totally comfortable and they match the car with the black / red stitching.

Can you raise the seat up? It has the option but may not help or may get you too close to the roof. I had to lower it when I put a helmet on but it may help.

Wind noise and tire roar from rear end. I want a light car that is quiet [Wants cake and eat it too!]

Avoid eating legumes and move seat forward.

Seriously, on long trips, I use foam earplugs (the ones that you squeeze small then insert on ears and allow to expand). Somehow they selectively cut out tyre roar but allow me to hear voices e.g. the wife and radio.

No factory installed armrest. This is easily looked past when you are excited doing a test drive but then later it's like "WTF?"

Because racecar. Remind yourself of that every time you have a luxury car gripe or economy car gripe or any car gripe... I do and I love my car toooooo much lol

[PNW-BRZ]

Just a few things. I'm ok with the horsepower, but hate the Torque dip. Wish it came with 18" rims rather than 17" and the lack of storage. A lockable Armrest storage would be great.

And the armrest isn't even that easy to install either
