Yes, I know that, and yes, it's snapped in.

In no particular order, I LOVE the (on my BRZ):

1) Oil filter location
2) MPG-to-FUN ratio
3) Steering feel
4) Standard HID/LED lights
5) Seating position
6) Clutch feel/travel
7) Cornering/U-Turn adventures
8) Empty slot underneath the HVAC controls is perfect for my phone (Premium model).
9) Makes a 12-hour drive SO effortless!
10) No Scion badges haha

The noticeable, but not intrusive sound from the transmission when shifting gears. You can hear and feel the synchros and gears. Very racecar.

Getting out and staring at the car for a few seconds before going to work, store, etc. I ALWAYS stare and think to myself "damn this car looks good".

The ability to start, run, idle, accelerate, brake, steer, and operate controls without issue. The lack of creaks, squeaks, and rattles. Also a lack of dents, dings, scratches, and general wear and tear. Going from a 23-yr-old car to a new one is like a dream!

But specifically to the car, I love the LED boomerang shape of the headlights. Looks so cool! And the cargo space relative to the car is great, too.

I noticed this the other day. First time it happened, though. I hope I can find a solution.

I love the handling abilities of this car. I have driven several Lotus cars over the years, but never owned one. This car is more Lotus "like" than any other new car that I have ever driven (that includes Audi's, BMW's, Alfa's and other Subaru's). The light weight and power to weight ratio is one of the best I have ever experienced. It brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.

The little window up and down mechanism for when the door opens or closes. I don't know why, I just find that so cool.

I love the hids, the spread sideways is awesome, had to get a rental vehicle and the sideways spread was more of a small circle directly infront made me appreciate the hids so much...
