LoL I know its just a Toyota, I expected it to have better speakers then the 15 year old beater I had that's all. Not too much to ask lol, perhaps i need to tweak the settings a tad more, and it feels like the back speakers aren't working

what I hate most is that the more people I have in this car will greatly reduce the amount of fun

Cons
1. Non-Adjustable headrest feels like a HANS device
2. Blind spots, takes some getting used to
3. Kinda Big guy with long term injuries, hard getting out, worried about
wearing the material out on the seat from Pivoting while getting in
4. Never had a SAT radio, do they all cut in and out like that?
5. BRZ a bit stiffer for the street than I would like(roads here suck)

Pro's
1. Instant shifts on the 6AT
2. Looks in general, window tint would have been nice.
3. I wind up going much faster than I think(easy roller)
4. Superb, on spot handling
5. Brakes
6. Stereo, blue tooth works flawlessly in mine. I don't want to hear the radio when I am driving spiritedly(off)

my driver's door hand is not a perfect fit, there is a gap, do you guys have it too?
it's not the noticeable on the the passenger's side

PLZdontscream · 11-09-2012, 06:03 PM

I hate the RPM drop from first to second. usually a grand or so is what im used too...this is more like 1500 to 2000

Same exactly here. If it was a luxury brand I'd complain.

The doors not locking automatically once you start moving and the doors not opening when locked, my camry door opens when you pull latch; even when locked.

Some of the cons can be remedied

- blind spots can be pretty much eliminated with strategic mirror adjustment. See this thread for full explanation and instructions.

- seat covers can increase the life of the upholstery;

- window tint can be added easily; lots of threads on that

The main thing I hated were the wheels. I replaced them yesterday and the entire look of the car changed. The second thing is the stupid cup holder. Don't have a plan for it.

Been using the setup WHAAP described for 15 years. I found an easy way to set your mirrors. Lean to the right and adjust the mirror so you just see the side of your car. Do the same to the left side with the window up. The right side is set if you can see the entire right lane in the mirror. The left is set if the car passing you disappears in your rear view mirror and then appears in your left mirror. As WHAAP said, it takes getting used it.

Ch3cho86 · 11-10-2012, 09:50 AM

I hate that the doors don't remains open!! I need to push it about 2 to 3 times to get out of the car

SPEEDGOD · 11-13-2012, 01:52 PM

Those driving in cold weather, do you notice sometimes it takes a long time to start up with the key? I feel like it's going to stall (automatic).

as far as the up and down setting of the mirror goes, are there any guidlines for that?
