I drove the FR-S and loved it, and ended up with this BRZ with a few more creature comforts. Had it for about a week now and still love driving the heck out of it. I live in a remote part of Nevada, empty twisty roads are a plenty and the smell of warm rubber and clutch are intoxicating. So far she may or may have not pulled 131mph, and she felt pretty good up there.
Now with more time and more miles with her, I've noticed a few things that have me scratching my head.
1- drivers door light, the little curtesy glow that helps the passengers find thier way...... Is always on. I don't mean it comes on and off.... It is always on and has a very dim glow. It isn't as bright as the drivers side but it is on. I've pushed the button on the door jam and the window goes up and down like it is supposed to when the door opens and closes so I am just confused by this issue.
2- power points (cigarette lighters) don't work. Either the one on the center consul or the one in the glove box. This is not a huge deal but I've got no where to plug in a radar detector haha. I've checked both fuzes and replaced them. Still nothing. Thoughts????

Sorry to hear that. For the interior side lights, just change em to leds
Should only cost a few bucks. If it's always on then the seating of it could be loose or a bad connector all together.
For your second issue, just bring it to the dealer, I had this issues many times until they replace the whole 12 bolt port with a new one. Like the other 2 said verify that your radar is working with other cars and hopefully that your brz 12 volt port didn't fried it along with itself. Had this happen to my phone charger.
