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

maybe time to take those accent pieces out and have them painted and cleared? I could do black or the same gray? I won't be happy with the interior full of scuffs like that. No way

I miss my left side shoulder-check. So, I guess I hate the fact that I can't do it. :P

If anyone wants to trade their silver parts for black, especially the buttons at the shifter, please PM me.

The placement of the dome light, it reflects off the rear view mirror right into my eyes when it's on.

What's the point of the little indent between the cup holder and the shifter? Honestly I just don't know and it bugs me. It looks like an after thought, I'm sure the manual says its for coin storage or something ridiculous, but it just seems like it was meant for something else that got deleted from the design.

I think the indent is for the seat heater buttons.

Go to the BRZ forum. I know the BRZ premium does not come with any of the silver accents(except for the dash), they got the black accents. I'm sure someone will swap those pieces with you.

bolt pattern.

Minor gripe; Red seat accents on a Hot Lava vehicle; serious colour mismatch. Other Scion Hot Lava rides have interior colour matched to exterior. Plain black seats would have been more appropriate.

In general, I'm in the small minority that likes the stock HU in the FR-S.

Two things about it I do "hate":

You can't change volume of BT Audio (not to be confused with hands-free)

It does not scroll text (names of songs,etc)

I'm playing BT Audio from my Iphone and haven't had an issue changing the volume. Are you speaking as in just using the volume knob to turn the volume up or down?

Yes. The volumn knob on the radio does not seem to change the volume playing with BT-Audio. Works fine with BT-Hands Free and USB.

That's weird that it works for me and not you. Maybe try syncing it again or something?

I know this is kinda petty but I miss having an arm rest. So I'm sure someone will do a nice, interior matching, red stitched, comfortable one that fits in the cup container hole and I'll buy one. It would be nice on long trips. Also the little up and down window thing when opening and closing the door, I know it makes the door close easier but it will wear something out prematurely.

Yes! I totally agree on this. If they had thrown in oil pressure and/or egt there I would have cried with glee.

I can't say I hate anything but I do notice things that are now on a list 'o mods I didn't expect:

• Foglight color doesn’t match headlight, running lights. Looks silly muted yellow next to bright white.
• The foam under the door armrest is paper thin. I don’t want to use it because I can just see a spot forming within a couple thousand miles from it getting eaten away.
• I feel like I’m going to yank the e-brake with my cargo pocket if I move my right leg too quickly
• Intake noise generator….seriously?? you must go away.
• Where are my hood dampers? I thought Subaru finally got that memo
• Brake/gas position doesn’t work nearly as nicely as my STi for heal-toe
• Needs more exhaust noise
• The inconsistent idle. An unmodded Subaru shouldn't wander at all

There's supposed to be one available from Scion around the 1st of the year (or there abouts).

Stock wheels and tires. Cheap cheap cheap...

At the dealership we sat next to a tC that had better rollers on it. Too bad.
