Wait...you dont even own this car yet you are the first to criticize it! GTFO :paddle:

My strongest negative first impression about the car has only gotten more frustrating as time goes on.

I really wish it had steering wheel controls...

I am the opposite. I hated that it did not have them, and now I really don't miss them. I just need a better head unit that has more buttons and larger touchscreen icons.

Everytime I drive my wife's Honda now I am annoyed at how many friggin buttons there are on the steering wheel..

Yea, because here in the U.S. we're afraid all the little kiddies will rub there feet up against exhaust tips so the gov't is like f**k that shit you guys cant have tips past the bumper.

Personally, I see it as a life lesson to people not to walk up against someone's car.

Am I the only one that saw this video as absolutely pointless?

I was expecting a report from one of their long term test vehicles as to if its still a good/fun car after OWNING it after a year...not one guys personal opinion of it overall.

I'd watch countless other videos made last year if I wanted that....smh.

Yes.. It is pointless.. It was like he was driving the car for the first time..

It would have been a much better review had they interviewed the editor how bought it as his personal car.. The guy that drives it everyday and has a lot of time behind the wheel.

Yea but how come the dmv hasn't noticed all these people with aftermarket tips and exhausts, almost no one has had a recorded hospital case of being burned with them lol

I could see how this would be bothersome but if you don't have the touch screen you quickly learn how to do everything without looking at it.

As for the reviewers complaints about the seats I totally disagree. I was mildly disappointed when I realized the seats don't have lumbar support but I quickly learned that the seats were fantastic without them. I'm less fatigued driving the FR-S for long periods than any other car I've taken on trips. After three hours in our Jetta my back is screaming.

Thanks guys for saving me 3 minutes of frustration.

LOL - so only people who own something have the divine right to critique it? After half an hour of driving certain things become glaringly obvious about any car if you are observant enough. Others will obviously emerge with more time, but those initial issues will still be there, and are likely to get more aggravating with time.
