I KNOW THERES STILL A DOZEN I HAVE LEFT OUT BUT I'LL CONTINUE TO UPDATE THIS THREAD IF THERES ANY NEW PROBLEM!
I would add this as a "dealer oversight" (not a "problem" - all FR-S's seem to ship with the stereo set to the default setting of "TC" vs. "FR-S". As a result, the stereo sounds terrible, underpowered and like it's not using all eight speakers. All, the front-rear balance is set to 100% front.

I don't have my manual (car's in the shop for the CEL issue) but I seem to recall the setting information is on page 53. May be mistaken, though. So, this one is user-correctable.
