This is somewhat fascinating. I had taken the ability to order a Subaru for granted until recently. My '22 BRZ is our seventh Subaru, none were on-the-lot cars, five of them have been complete...

Well, after some hunting, I found the TPMS reset button, and tried switching as the manual says (3x within 3 seconds); nothing happened. Nothing also happened when I tried to initialize it by holding...

I do know that it can store two sets but I wasn't aware of a method of switching manually. I'll try that in a little while.

Has anyone been able to get the '22 BRZ showing pressure from TPMS sensors from the 1st gen car? I recently swapped my 105k '13 BRZ for a '22 and my winter wheels are not showing pressure, but the...

In the past month or two, I've started seeing more BRZs and FR-Ss around, even had a just-bought blue one follow me into a parking lot (extremely near RIT) a couple weeks ago to say hi. It's probably...

The car is about as light as it can get and still cost what it costs. Comparing to the Miata/S2000 is a little unfair - the BRZ is a 2+2, not a two-seater, after all. Regardless, if the S2000 was...

Sheesh. Apparently WolfpackS2k forgets what this car is competing with. The Miata has all of 167hp (less with an automatic.) The Lotus Elise only tops 200 with a supercharger, and even then, it's not...

After a year of the car being out, people still don't "get it" - the car doesn't need or WANT huge horsepower. I also went from an STI to a BRZ and don't regret it at all. (Actually, an '02 WRX, '05...

My '08 STI's headlights were set from the factory to be notably lower than my '05's. My folk's '10 Legacy is also surprisingly low. Our '10 Outback is OK but that may be because it rides higher.
