Once you pull a door handle the doors will stay unlocked until you physically lock them, hit the lock button on either door, or the lock button on the key. The base car isn't smart enough to lock itself beyond that one situation. If you physically unlock a door with the key, I'm pretty sure the door will stay unlocked.

If you have one of the special editions that has the keyless setup from the BRZ parts bin, I believe the car will lock itself if your key fob goes out of range.

It would probably thin the herd a little and keep the roads a little safer.
It wouldn't be targeting any certain group but a few youngins and ol' folks will be better drivers for it if their driving privilege depended on it.
I'd be fine paying for it too and yes I'd be the first one in line with cash in hand to pay for it since I know it would save lives including my family, friends and own.

Oh lol, yeah I think that's what I was talking about. I think it's in the manual somewhere. There might be another setting for what you are looking for. Haven't looked at that section since 2013 lol.

Interesting concept. Just go for a spin every 5 years and they could correct all your bad driving habits lol

When that "spin" would determine if you are capable or not, the driving privilege would be taken more seriously. No corrections would happen other than a driver license being suspended and or eventually revoked if they can't get it right. It should be if you screw up after 5 consecutive years of driving for a short 10-15 run with a instructor by your side, you don't deserve to be on the road. So pretty much get 100% on the test or fail. Then if they felt they needed to be on the road still, they'd read up on the rules and maybe learn something or maybe they just suck at driving and we'll keep somebody off the road who shouldn't be there.

The problem I see with that plan, is that the mass transit system in Florida would be overloaded ...... :iono:

Mine is brand new so it's not burning anything. I looked at both sides of the dip stick, checked on 3 separate occasions now, and all 3 times the oil film is an inch above the mark. Usually one side is right at the dot or slightly above it. But this is way over. Let's see what they say

Update: they changed the filter again "no charge", I guess to smooth things over. I checked the oil level in the parking lot and it was good now. Didn't say anything about the oil level so I suspect it was overfilled. Going to my mechanic from now on, no more dealer

Always check the level when the oil is hot. Also, ease the stick down slowly once it's o-ring seal reaches the top of the tube to avoid splashing oil up.

Roughening the stick between the little level holes helps you see the oil on it.

Is there an easy/accurate way to tell when the car is level?
