Dealers still find a way around that by adding a bunch of marked-up accessories. When I was shopping for mine, I saw an FR-S going for $32k because they added wheels, tires, tint, aftermarket leather seats, etc. Yeah you get extras but severely overpriced.

Don't hate but wish there was a fix so you could see exact gear in all modes. I wonder if there could be firmware update?

It would be a definite improvement to have a fix so you could see the exact gear in all modes. Perhaps a firmware update might be possible?

Depending on how badly the dealership wants to sell the car, you can get them to remove extras...or you could just order the car and wait a little. Granted, waiting sucks.

At least it wasn't $7k worth of overpriced options ON TOP OF a $5k "market adjustment". (There was an FRS in my area listed for nearly $38k and it sold )

Saw a completely base BRZ last week with a $3k "market adjustment" collecting dust on the lot, Toyota badges would be nice but ultimately I prefer walking out the door with this car for less than $27.5k (after taxes title licence).

For me, the only thing I hate is the massive air-flowing sound I hear from the inside when the engine is running. It looks like there is a huge fan in the engine compartment!

The only bluetooth complaint I have is if I start the car but forgot to turn bluetooth back on beforehand on my phone, it can take a few minutes to find it. Whereas if it's ready to go when I turn it on it always connects perfectly.

There's a TSB for that for the fuel pump to be replaced. I got mine replaced and the noise is gone for now....

Yeah unfortunately you have shitty dealers trying to make a home run on you. Your best bet is to search for one.. Toyota stores are abundant, there's bound to be a dealer who is willing to sell you a stock, no-add on FR-S. I ordered mine as soon as they could have been ordered and I only paid for wheel locks and that rear bumper applique.

In due time you'll start hearing static noise from the bluetooth protocol. My connection was awesome until about 50-100 miles in, then I began having the same issues on my stock radio. I just connect the USB to it now.

I hate the fact that the plate on the backside of the head on the passenger side leaks oil... right onto my exhaust.
