Couldn't they have used something softer where the knee is inevitably going to rest and bang on???

I saw on a web site some time ago a company released a foan pad set that sticks on in that ever so hard area, but IIRC they wanted like $99 for it.

So if I EVER get some free time, I'm going to run out to the local Home Depot and try to find me some foam with a sticker back or find some foam and some double sided tape and make my own.
Black fitness mat (the one i got is about a half i ch thick or more) from ebay for 10-15$ will make over 10 knee pads, just make a paper template of the area so it fits properly. Comfiest solution i can imagine, couple strips of 3m tape, and itll come off anytime w no damage to the interior

I'm sure you're all happy with your new car purchases but there's got to be some things you absolutely HATE on it. Perhaps, something that Toyota/Subaru added or removed in this car that was or wasn't in your previous car(s)... could be cosmetic, mechanical, electrical, etc. Anything goes..

So let's hear 'em!

I ordered mine as soon as they could have been ordered and I only paid for wheel locks and that rear bumper applique.

Yeah I got lucky and found an honest dealership that sold me mine with no extras except what was added at the port (bumper appliqué, wheel locks, & trunk mat). No extra, marked-up crap or "market adjustments". Took it home for base price

Looks like most of the things people hate are the Scion's "additions" to the original 86, like the cheapy audio system with buggy bluetooth, the cheapy non-HID lights, missing factory fog lights and the missing (only in Scion) vanity mirror light.

What I hate? Backseats. The backseats are a joke.

This is how it looks on my european GT86:

Im saying the door cup holders sould be more usefull b/c the center ones are out of reach when you have the holder all the way back to make room for a cell charger or such.
