What you HATE the most on your FR-S/BRZ/GT86/FT86?

[sdiver68]

The only thing that might qualify for "hate" is the blind spots if they cause me to have an accident. I've learned to deal with them but it takes a large head swivel. Oh and I dislike that I've no place for a mountain bike or 2 yet, I'd really like a Class I/II hitch receiver for a bike rack.

Other nitpicks:
USB should be in glove box or somewhere out of site.
Using the power outlet requires moving the cup holder to a difficult location
Why use a sensor based TPMS system?

This won't solve it for everyone, but everything I need it for uses USB for charging, so I bought a "flush" USB charging plug [ame="http://www.amazon.com/elago-EL-Car-C1-Charger-Players-Digital/dp/B002WH3QLE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1339790236&sr=8-5&keywords=flush+usb+car+charger"]like this one [/ame]for it that is now permanently installed. You can connect a cable to it and leave the cupholder in place.

That's just an example. I bought mine at WalMart because it came with a black iPod charging cable which I also wanted. The two together were $10, but its not rounded like the one in the example from Amazon.

You can probably fit one bike in the trunk with the back seat down. My 54cm road bike fits in there.

I hate the fact that I don't have one yet.

the Rims!!! THE RIMS!!

So I'm not the only one that hears a rattle (like a loose exhaust shield) when the revs are really low 600-1200?

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.

dadhawk, yea i think i agree with that. i didnt realize you need a iPhone for that mess. It sounds like BeSpoke isnt worth it.... i dont know why they didnt have a real NAV as an option - i would of paid for it if it was factory... hmm - -oh well i still like the CAR

It is supposed to do Android next year with the update that provides turn-by-turn directions, but even so, the need for a smartphone is a deal killer for me. If all it is is a display for what is on my phone, I can do that with a $10 phone mount.

I don't like the location of the heated seat buttons on my BRZ. Definitely could be elsewhere and let that be a storage area for me.

You shouldn't touch the shifter unless shifting, the blind spots can be taken care of with sticky round adjustable mirrors that rotate put right in the lower inside corners, and the clutch engaging at the top facilitates heel toe shifting.

My main concern with the car, no one mentioned that the steering wheel doesn't telescope out far enough to accommodate drivers taller than six feet tall.

I don't think there are a ton of people who have experianced this yet. Lol

But I found one thing I hate. In only two weeks and nothing crazy blasting, The driver door speaker just blew on me. Can't believe it. I thought the stock system sounded pretty nice so maybe it was a fluke. Hope the speakers aren't a total POS.

Just a few minor things but just the same, might have more as the miles pile on:

No 3-blink function for turn signal (lane change)
Clutch, but probably get used to it
Fogs don't work without having to run headlights

Found one more thing, You can't dim the dash lights to all the way off at night.
