I disabled it. IMO it was to sporadic with the volume increase/reduction. To be honest I havnt found road noise to an issue at all.

Not an issue for me. Definitely not cold air but not hot either.

You sure it's just not the height adjustment? The BRZ has this, too.

i noticed when i was test driving the car that the head rest was making it hard to see through that small rear window.

Your right. I forgot I moved the passenger seat forward because of this exact thing.

the stock radio sounds pretty good for stock, but i hate that they didnt at least put the bespoke on all of them to make it a little fancier and give us all the nice interface ---- who cares of the car would of been 400 dollars more.

cupholders are weird

the door/overall storage kinda sucks too

trunk shuts/opens a little flimsy -- maybe they should of put something to pop the trunk further when hitting the remote key...

no steering audio controls ???? -- i got big gripe on audio/bluetooth interfaces -- comon even a camry bone stock radio looks better.

OTHER THAN THAT, I STILL LOVE THE CAR -- LOVE IT !
Smile up and down my face when i see it and start it up .


But comon Scion, you scrwed up a bit with the basic nice'ities...

and who can forge the most IMPORTANT gripe for almost everyone ----- NO HID/LED !! ?????

please come up with an upgrade for that -- that is reasonable please ! are you listening , Scion Engineerrsss ????

Yeah, sounds like everyone does. Just hit the recirculation button and no hot air will come through while the system is off & the car is moving.

Still waiting on mine to come in, the interior has grown on me to an extent but that was a big turn off for me at first. It's like getting in a time machine back to 1997, I know there's gotta be a tape deck in there somewhere.

No offense rikdrt1 but I disagree with this one. I would not have wanted the BeSpoke because 1) I don't do iPhones and 2) I don't want a device in my car that REQUIRES a smartphone to be of any real use particularly if I have to pay a premium for it. Basically from what I can tell a BeSpoke is the stock radio with a display screen added to it. That's one expensive monitor.

Given the issues some folks seem to be having with the performance on the BRZ NAV unit, I'm glad I didn't pay the "Subaru tax" to get that unit as standard equipment either.

Disclaimer: Yes I know I say in other posts I've said I have an iPod in my car and I do, but it is being used strictly as a music storage device, and is a hand-me down that I got for zero dollars.

Since the car is mostly Subaru, try pressing the lock button three times within maybe five seconds or so. My Legacy would beep the first two times then honk every time after that.

What I hate the most about these cars is the extreme penis wrangling from both sides over who "made" this wonderful vehicle. They come off sounding like children from broken homes arguing over why mommy is better than daddy.

1. Hot air from vents when A/C is not on
2. Clutch
3. Shitty old rattling truck sound if the RPMs are too low
4. 5x100 wheels
5. Difficult getting right leg comfortable for long trips
6. Trunk that doesn't want to close without a hard slam
7. Constant fear of cops when I'm taking a 25mph offramp at 65mph and merging at 90+.

Turn up the volume. It's adjustable according to the manual.
