I love the gear indicator and shift light. All four of my previous cars were manual and I've been driving stick for over a decade, but those two features make it feel like I'm driving in Forza lol.

I don't even know why they do it. The WRX has frameless windows and doesn't. It's slow enough that when I open the door, the window hasn't come down, but it doesn't interfere. Just something to go wrong, and a place to get water spots after I wash and dry my car.

They do it to make a better seal.

The best thing about this car? STEERING/HANDLING

I don't understand all the comments about the manual headlight leveling. Unless you have a lot of weight in the back of the car the knob should be set to 0/1. If you adjust it in another situation you're just reducing your visibility for no reason.

Agreed but I occasionally like to wave at people with my headlights.

ooooooh, fancy

I've only had it a month, but:
Turning around and seeing it after parking
The temp gauge sits just below half like its always ready to get pushed
The steering feels just as good if not better than a friend's Elise.
Great mpg and smiles per mile.

Excuse me?! Did you forget about the nifty little pop-out cupholder built into the center stack to the right of the radio? That's a 'cool little thing', although it certainly was somewhat less functional than a normal cupholder. I liked that about my '00 LGT. The little slots for coins were pretty neat too.

The short throw shifter, so damn easy to shift gears compared to my last car, 05 Civic EX.

Inzandity · 07-19-2013, 08:32 AM

How quick the AC kicks on... Especially after the last few days

Be-Are-Zee · 07-30-2013, 05:28 PM

I agree the AC cools quickly.

I also like how easy it is to wash these cars and how well the wheels blend with dirt between washes.
