Stupid Question on Controls - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Naughty · 01-29-2013, 03:06 AM

Why dint Toyota keep the indicator/wiper controls on the normal "correct

" side.

Here i thought driving 2 Toyos and i never have to think twice :-(

I agree with u 100 %.
It's a Japanese car demmit.
Indicators must go on the RIGHT.
It's so frustrating. to have to think before indicating.

Amen! This is not supposed to be a European car!!! It has a Hilux radio, why didn't they just use the Hilux switches aswell!!!

Razzle · 01-29-2013, 03:19 AM

Urgh, that radio...
If they weren't gonna put in a GPS, why didn't they just fit a normal size deck. now you can't put in a normal aftermarket deck.

Glad I'm not the only one.

jumping between the Fortuner and 86, I yell everytime I hit the wrong lever and my windscreen gets messed up.....

Naughty · 01-29-2013, 03:29 AM

Ya especially when you want to flash some idiot driver on the road and end up washing your windscreen instead

Ryan86 · 01-29-2013, 03:33 AM

I love the controls as i use my wife's jetta often too...

JouMaSeHoes · 01-29-2013, 04:09 AM

Yep, controls work for me, Amarok and 86 are the same.

BUT, after driving my wife's Pajero everything goes to pot for a couple of days afterwards.

sav · 01-29-2013, 05:30 AM

Screw that, they're on the correct side.

It's about time they started doing that - same with Honda, they used to be on the right side but now also on the left.

Ryan86 · 01-29-2013, 05:37 AM

Morning Sav, :happy0180: you sleep in???

Vic_RSA · 01-29-2013, 05:37 AM

Oddly enough this only becomes a problem for me when I drive my girlfriend's I20? Obviously my Mini's are imprinted into my mind!
