What you HATE the most on your FR-S/BRZ/GT86/FT86? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

No blind spot indicator on mirrors
No volume buttons on steering wheel
No auto light feature
Rattly door speaker panels
No arm rest/storage

No sunroof is lame, but other than that I love everything about the car.

JACK 8URT0N · 06-13-2012, 01:18 PM

I keep chafing my right leg on the center console. It's a bit cramped down there.

HunterGreene · 06-13-2012, 01:19 PM

This is a great thread...I'm still planning on getting my FR-S 6MT, but its good to know what I may not love about the car (and eventually replace)

However, I can say from the test drive that the only thing I would miss would be the sunroof.

For those of you having issues with the passenger seat belt sensor--take it into the dealer. If the sensor is being interfered with by a cell phone, some interference could screw with the sensor while someone is in the seat and the airbag might not deploy. That is what recalls are for!

Also, if I set my phone down on the seat on its back, then everything is fine; but if I set it down face-first, the car then registers a passenger being there. Siri can't buckle her seatbelt, FR-S... I've tried asking her! Grr...

I hate that its a Scion and not a Toyota.

Lonewolf · 06-13-2012, 01:22 PM

I hate the chrome tails and the radio antenna.

I LOVE the fact that is has NO SUNROOF...leaky, creaky, weight and cost-adding nonsense is not what this car needs.

I'm going to mention it to them when I take it in for an oil change. Don't expect it to get fixed, but hopefully it'll get passed along to corporate, who'll do something when they hear enough complaints (like replacing it with a simple weight sensor?)

I hate that some dealers are being jackholes and charging a "market adjustment" fee.

Shizuma · 06-13-2012, 01:36 PM

The factory radio/GPS in my BRZ, it's simply awful, the interface is so clunky, the gps doesn't get solid GPS locks and loses the signal and the bluetooth hands-free is basically un-usable as it's constantly disconnecting despite my phone being in the center console area so really close to the headunit, and the issue isn't my phone as I never had a single disconnect with my phone with the Kenwood headunit I had installed in my Dodge Magnum I had before the BRZ.

Cheers to that brother

Huge blind spots (relatively) and the headrests are the only thing bothering me so far.

HotLeopardMama · 06-13-2012, 01:45 PM

I also love the absence of a sunroof... and miss steering wheel radio control. Love having auto-up down windows for both sides, though.
