I had the idea that maybe buying a 2014 BRZ that perhaps the issue had been resolved. I did not hear the crickets until today. I have had the car 1 week and I am at about 800 miles. I was practicing hill starts and rolled down to level ground and lowered the windows and let it idle. Crickets. Fuck! Oh well. I love this car and driving it is very enjoyable. Are we supposed to wave at each other like motorcycle riders do?
