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

you can get slotted ones or just be careful setting it down and use those points. If you use normal jack stands though it may eventually bend. The jack is usually what bends them because of the way it raises a car. They're almost flat on my sti from tire changes at autox events :P

depending on what you're doing other parts of the car, like control arms, are good too.

The outside temp can be adjusted via techstream.. There is a setting for it.

My cruise just doesn't function that way. Given this car's DBW I don't understand why it can't be more accurate.

That's interesting about the outside air temp. I've gone to the dealership twice (for other reasons) and have had them look at the air sensor. I even specifically asked if the sensor can be programmed to have a built in error amount (in this case I'd tell them to lower it 5 degrees) but the shop supervisor told me that it's not possible.

I have to change it to radio/bluetooth/radio/bluetooth for it to start working when I first turn the car on.

Its the only thing that makes the bluetooth audio work.

Galaxy S3, on my BRZ limited I have issues where the phone keeps disconnecting /reconnecting randomly... pretty annoying but its the only complaint about the car I've had so far so

I keep getting annoyed by a rattle in the trunk while going over bumps, and my sh!t stealership that thinks it takes a week to replace the high pressure fuel pump.

I think I was wrong about the ambient temp... The setting is there but seems to be related to the AC operation.

I've never had a cruise control that worked like that. With this and every other car I've ever owned, you hold the Accel/Decell button until the car reaches the desired speed, and then release and it will stay there.



Is this your first car?

The air conditioner seems to be fairly inconsistant/underpowered. It gets pretty cold if it's a cloudy day but as soon as it has to compete with the sun it fails to keep it very cool, which I guess makes sense and all, but it gets a little old sweating despite opting for air over windows. Maybe it's just me though. It's certainly nothing to throw the car out for, just really my only complaint.

(It might also be the air-shutting-off under load thing that's doing it. Maybe I should have less foot on pedal?)

My Chevy 2500HD will do 1mph increments. But its also the only vehicle that I've noticed to do it.

They're still jack points though. And its pretty silly that for a car like this (one were people WILL be switching and working on wheels, breaks, etc a lot), that its made it such a crappy way. After owning a couple "sporty" cars before, having something like this happen for the first time is pretty disappointing.

But from now on I will have to use the front and rear diff's for all my wheel changes.

The lack of automatic headlights is beginning to be annoying.

Seating position. Seats are comfortable but unless I'm driving with both hands on the wheel, the seats are too low to rest my arm on the door while driving.

Seat height is adjustable. Use the pump lever to pull up or push down the seat height. You need to use a pump action for each direction (each pump raises or lowers the seat by a few inches)
