Thank you for the warm welcome guys. Good to see that this forum is less with the douche baggery attitude. Also, it's good to hear from other mr2 owners or former owners.

I love the FRS and everything about it except for one thing... NO ARMREST! Seriously, it's quite annoying that the car does not have an armrest. I know that there are aftermarket solutions for equipping the FRS with one but why Toyota didn't put one in to begin with boggles my mind. It would've been nice to have an ergonomically engineered armrest from the OEM. It's quite bothersome that it doesn't have one.

With the mr2, the entire center console is the armrest. So when you sit in the mr2, you literally feel the car wrapped around you with your hand falling perfectly onto the shifter. And this was a car designed 20 years ago. The FRS without the armrest, sadly feels like another regular car. I was hoping for better driver ergonomics from a brand new car of this caliber.

That's the only complaint I have with the FRS. Everything else is perfect.
