I also find it strange that the technological advancements and increase in complexity have not affected all vehicles. There appear to be many available that do not exhibit the idle hunting that the FR-S does. Why is that?
I don't know why they're struggling so much with compensating for the AC compressor but it's a little annoying to me.

I don't care beyond that because it's not damaging the engine at all. Oil pressure is just fine for an excursion to 500 RPM with no significant load.
