Shift light.
Noob question:
I was wondering if the shift light indicator is only available for MT or is it available with the AT as well...if so how do you access it? |

No idea if it works on automatic, but manual doesn't say it won't.
While stopped hit the "DISP" button until the screen says "rev. --00" Press and hold "DISP" to go into a mode to change it Tapping "DISP" toggles through the the 1000s digit the 100s digit and weather or not you want it to beap("b on" or "b off"). Press and hold "DISP" to change the current thing selected. Page 196 of the BRZ manual(which you can download), section "Setting the REV indicator". |

What point would it serve on an Auto?

In manual mode? Not on the FR-S, it won't. It'll sit there and ping off the rev limiter all day until you shift it yourself. The only time the car will shift for you in manual mode is downshifting to avoid a stall. IIRC, I think it'll also upshift if the engine starts to overheat, but I haven't run into that situation yet.

Interesting, are you seeing any appreciable gains from this? I pretty much drive in standard mode with the occasional bursts of madman, and I'm averaging almost 32MPG in mine.

As a counterpoint to that, I drive mostly in sport, and I indulge my inner hoon at every possible opportunity. Corner coming up? Ooh, let's see if we can get the VSC to kick in! I am a symphony of squealing Michelins.
To make matters worse, most of my drive is low-speed stop and go. 55 max, with stoplights a-plenty. I'm still managing around 25mpg, and for me and this area, I'm pleased. My tC was worse.

Is that 32 MPG calculated using your fillup gallons and mileage or based on the AVG MPG on the dash? Best I've seen on my commute (30 mph roads mostly, a dozen stop signs) is 37.2 MPG on the dash computer by resetting it right after start. I'm still waiting for my next fillup to get a more accurate actual MPG for the tankfull. It's more of a game to me than anything. Just an interesting contest I have with myself rather than an attempt to conserve earth's resources for future generations or save enough money to retire on. |

I do approximately 70% HWY/30% City. Getting 32 MPG using dash calculator and 30.5 MPG doing to actual calculation.
Cruise control in 6th is annoying if you have it pegged at around 75 MPH. It will shift down on even a remote incline. I find myself putting it in manual mode and setting cruise control so it sticks in 6th. |

Interesting results I may have to play with it on my next fill-up just to see what happens. |

The User Shift mode acts exactly like a Manual except the clutch is automated. It won't shift down or up if you don't make it. On the FR-S it's a nice middle-of-the-road option between practicality and performance since it blips the throttle after down shifting. Though race cars, most high end sports cars, and I BELIEVE the Volkswagon GTI have a double clutch automatic w/ paddle shifters which actually shift better and faster than any human ever could.
