I dunno if that was directed at my post, but I was just saying that since it uses a lot of Subaru bin parts it was worth a shot

I hate the chrome headlights on the FR-S and the Taillights on both cars.

I am getting that taken care of as we speak

Also, I hate that you have to take the front bumper off to take the headlights out :p So annoying.

Ok, things i hate:
-Scion badging. Should be a Toyota, will be Toyota (minus the steering wheel)
-Antenna
-GAS PEDAL - so annoying how short, skinny and far it is to the right
-Chrome headlights/tail lights (planning on tinting both)
-Blind spots especially at non perpendicular intersections

Annoyances that i would change and or would enhance my liking of the car:
-Push button start would have been nice
-The stock sound system is actually not bad but it lacks mid controls and was lacking bass at higher volumes. I fixed that by adding an amp and sub and the nice thing is the stock HU has sub outs just dont forget to enable the sub output. The manual says that the stereos bass adjustment doesnt effect the bass of the sub outs but i have notice otherwise. Also when you enable the sub outs, an added sub level and phase option appear in the audio control menu.
-HID's - Fixed that with a 55w 4500k DDM kit
-Light clutch and stock clutch engagement point (fixed the eng pnt)
-Lack of working rear triangle fog
-Courtesy door lights on FR-S are fake, just reflectors
-Stock wheels would have looked a lot nicer one solid color (all black if my choice). I might plastidip and metalize to a bronze color
-BT sometime drops connection with my cell
-eBrake boot doesnt have the same red stitching everything else has
-Headrest angle not being adj

Everything listed above does become pretty vague once you get to driving the car though...well except that damn gas pedal and the light clutch with is a lot less annoying once the engagement point is adjusted.


EDIT: Finally i see the thanks button

Agree if the taillight had a tint to it would look much better like the Subaru wrx if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure there will be some aftermarket available soon

I would like Toyota or the aftermarket to supply the following: Instead of the kludgy center bin insert - I want an insertable unit that would be a bin with an armrest top and a tiny padded coin holder on the front edge. Inside, I want storage space for sunglasses and a thermoelectric cooler (12 volt outlet is already there). Also need a cup insert for the left door storage bins.

How comfortable is the ride? Is it too rough or is it fairly smooth over bumps?

It's actually fairly smooth over bumps and not a bad car to just cruise in. Very comfortable ride in my opinion.

The thing I hate most is that I catch myself going faster than I think I am. It just happens!

Nice. I currently have a slightly injured lower back so I'm a little concerned about the ride, but I will test drive it soon.

FRS is a little smoother while the BRZ is definitely a pretty bumpy ride IMO.

I don't like the stitching on the MT shift knob. It's abraisive against my palm if I rest my hand there for more than a moment or two.
