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

[Jaydawg86]

Just got my 2015 frs few weeks ago, absolutely love it. But just like humans, not all cars are perfect! Just a few things that irk me:

-no sunroof. Always been a sunroof type guy, but I can live without it.
-blind spot area is pretty slim. Idk if it goes for anyone else, but it seems like I have to turn my whole head just to make sure haha.
-wish it came with crisp hids. Idk if the brz does, but I prefer the lighting setup of theirs.
-probably the biggest complaint, the backseat. This car is a 2 seater. Or a 3, the back person just has so sit horizontally haha.

Other than that, this car is forever bae. <3

For any poor suckers sitting in the back seat I think the fact it is so horizontal is probably the least of their worries.

You're supposed to turn your head to check the blindspot 100% of the time. People fit fine if you're short. Shave some inches or don't sit like a g. I sit close with a straight back, because race car.

The fact that when I turn my headlights on it auto dims my radio. Makes it super hard to see sometimes when it isn't real dark out yet.

Also, it's not that the back seat is small, I expected that. But the way it is designed if someone is unfortunate enough to have to sit there, any big bump they hit their heads on the rear window.

Recently I read this brilliant advice....
Adjust centre mirror to look straight back. Then adjust external mirrors to ONLY JUST overlap the centre mirror view.
If you cannot see down the side of the doors, experiment with small rectangular curved mirrors on the side mirrors held on temporarily with BluTac. You may need to cut away some plastic on the small mirrors but that is easy.
Add double-sided foam sticky tape if you need to angle. It is possible to make the small mirrors look down to the ground as close as straight under the door handles and rearward and see parking lines.

I would like the flat horizontal area of the bumper to slope down away from the car a bit. Water accumulates there e.g. dirty water after rain or after washing. A bit of a slope would make it run off.

If you have the touchscreen unit, the dimming feature can be disabled in settings...I think it's called "Day Mode" or something similar. Turn that on and the radio won't dim when you turn your lights on. I prefer it bright as well!

Jumping spiders. They seem to like my car as much as I do, as there is always one or more on the roof in the morning. Not a "hate", just an observation.

No worries, dude. The complainers other car is a short bus. I lost my self-flagellation whip, so I've read most of this thread. The things most people complain about are the result of this car being what it is. If you understand what it is going in, there is nothing better for the money.

The whining here would be fucking epic if it was sold in the US.

There's no AC! No USB! The wheels are ugly! It's noisy and squeaky inside! The ride is rough! On and on and on.

I hate that my awd button never seems to work. Rear end always bucks loose in turns
