My two biggest issues are the lack of power (understandable) and the extremely poor performance of the FR-S a/c. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????/

The new accord comes out in a few months..I have a feeling I'm going to have a hard time not jumping ship.




can he not role the window down?>

It was 118 2 weeks ago and my son was in back complaining about being cold from the a/c, does op not know what the recirc button is or are they just mental

Regarding the FR-S a/c-


We have had a heat wave for weeks in Toronto. There have been several days where my outdoor temp gauge reads 36'C and yesterday it said 37, highest ever. So, there probably isnt much temp difference between here and TX these days. MY a/c works great.

On the other hand I drove my '12 xB this morning to work (winter car) and as it is a larger vehicle with larger interior volume to cool, the a/c is calibrated differently. The #1 fan speed blows harder than the FR-S. I am sure this is to get the larger volume cooled at an acceptable rate.

Since the interior volume of the FR-S is so small, perhaps you are just not accustomed to the fan/ac calibration for that vehicle.

Or, maybe it needs a warranty service.

It's been regularly over 100 degrees where I live in the Sacramento area and the A/C has been fine.

role the freaking window down dumbass wwwooowww

Are you fucking kidding me? Roll the window down? When its 110* out? The AC sucks in my frs..It does not keep the interior of my car cool..Whats the point of ac if i have to roll the window down?

I do believe there may be an issue with the car as I have a squeak noise everytime the ac compressor kicks in.

All I can say is TOP DOWN TOP DOWN!

My air in my mustang doesn't work, i have to deal with it everyday?? I don't see the big deal if your A/c sucks. your not the only person in the world that has to deal with 110 degree weather.. I'm not trying to start shit, I'm saying try rolling the windows down or go get your a/c worked on or something. Or possible taking it to dealership and complaining... at least i would, I don't have my car yet and when i get it and the air sucks, i will do what i just said..

So far, judging by the forum members here, and the few I have seen out in the wild, the Twins have a way better userbase than most cars I see, ESPECIALLY the BRZ since most Subaru owners imo are shitheads.

On the GC forums, the big thing over there is that stupid ass hellaflush shit, or putting big dildo shift knobs on their cars because it is "jdm".

Even though a lot of forum members here think they are driving God's Chariot, I'd rather have that, then people putting pink rims, and "Hi Hater" stickers all over their car.

Where I live it's just the WRX guys. STI guys are about 4% more mature.

I love the other Subaru owners (impreza/legacy). I had an older lady in a legacy yell "i love your car!" at me in traffic and caught a cutie in an impreza taking pictures of my car. Ended up pulling over so she could check it out. Another older lady...about 70..with an Impreza helped me find the dealership when I was lost one day

Unfortunately, this may simply be a result of economics for now.. Let's face it, the majority of the people buying the car now are mature, older people who have the financial means to buy this car NEW. Sure, there're some very young folks who've bought this car as well (and props to them), but I would assume most of them are responsible enough financially to be able to do so.

Let's wait a few years, when there will be an abundance of used (i.e., cheaper) BRZ's & FR-S's out there, and see what kind of a crowd scoops them up then. I suspect (but certainly don't hope it) that more and more un-informed, immature "racer-boy" types will be in possession of these cars when that happens. For me, I'm just enjoying being part of the current "userbase" of these cars while I can

You realize this is a Subaru based car right, I have a lot of "jdm" sti friends who love the car. The "hellaflush" shit you are talking about happens no matter what car you own, just do you. Your style probably doesn't please everyone either so get over it.

Like with everything new the people who really want it and can enjoy it will pick it up as soon as it comes to market and while the supply is still low. You'll see more people pick it up in the future who may not appreciate it as much as we do.
