Hill-start assist adds weight, be it a couple pounds for the computers and solenoids...NO THANKS! Just learn to drive.

People stop hating! Who knows if it's going to be his/her first manual tranny car. If it isn't, then I have to agree with everybody else: who cares about hill-start. That function is useful if the car is your first manual, but you still shouldn't rely on it (tbh, I don't even know if this function can be turned on/off with the use of a button or if it's always on).

Sorry but your post makes no sense even if it is your first manual car its the point of it all to learn to drive a manual car? How would using hill stopper help you master starting on hills? That's like people who say GPS is good cause you get use to the roads whenreally you just get a bunch of idiots who blindly listen to a mach cause they never learn the area or how to read a map.

No hate just saying

I see it like training wheels. When your confident enough, don't use it anymore.

Scion Blue vs Red? Red EASY. The blue is very subdued and dark. The red is flashy. Now the subaru blue is nice, but that's a different story.

Its good to hear that not everyone is talking out of their asses hoping to make 300 or 400 hp boosted and can actually say out loud that they daily drive it lolz...

A small turbo say T28 size snail with ball bearings would get the job done...

Umm, no. The red is trashy and watered-down; ultramarine is rich and powerful. The photos in the OP were taken with a crappy camera/phone, and don't do the colour any justice. See below.

Ultramarine/GBS is an amazing color in person. Pictures don't do it justice but those above ones are lookin good!

[mattles]

If you guys have ever seen a blue metallic IS300 in person, the FRS ultramarine blue and color shift is similar, and very pretty.

I entertained the thought of switching to whiteout... but that blue is almost mesmerizing.

just wanted to point out that they are both Subaru blue as well...


Ultramarine/GBS is what I'm getting. I think the colour looks amazing under light

The fact that we are even mentioning cars 2-4 times the price is incredible.

Cayman, iono, TT though is a DOG of a car in base form. FRS is more fun than a TT, IMHO
