I also don't like the fact that the automatic transmission doesn't have a dipstick to check the tranny fluid with. Many new cars are like this. I hate that.

Not an owner, but the only thing that stood out to me on the BRZ when I checked it out vs. my 370Z was the lack of volume control for the stereo on the steering wheel. I can't believe they didn't have that...

okay.. that is a really big deal

It runs a little warmer then I'd like most of the time (as in it is nearly constantly blowing in warm air) which is really just a great excuse to open the windows. I don't use the AC much.

I also and starting to get a little irked by the lack of knee cushions for the driver. I don't feel that I need to brace all the time but I have a feeling the first trip through the mountains will teach me that they are a good thing.

Otherwise I am really really happy with the car. And the auto in "D" is a thing of beauty I just let it do its thing for the most part. If I am really looking to have a half second of fun I just hit the "sport" button and drop two gears I don't even go looking for the "M" mode anymore.

I hate all the trolls that keep splattering against my windshield and front bumper...

Thanks! Ill take a look at my manual. Do they have to do it with special equipment or is there a way for me to do it? I dont really like other people messing with my car.

I haven't tried it, but unfortunately it is one of the options there are no instructions for, it just says take it to the dealer. Same for the sensitivity of the lights automatically turning on when it gets dark. It can be set +40% or -40%, but its only at the dealer. Other options, have the procedure written in the manual, but these two don't.

Like others have said, bad blind spot at right rear. And backing up can be an act of faith.

Wigmasterflex · 07-09-2012, 03:28 AM

This is going to sound stupid but I hate that the little triangle piece of glass in front of the door windows don't seem to have the same factory tint or whatever that the door windows have. Seems like my door windows have a very slight tint to them and those triangles are perfectly clear ... Or I am crazy ... Or both. Either way it won't matter after I find a decent tint shop I suppose.

I found something that I do truly 'hate' about this car (and other similar cars) - no oil pressure gauge!

A car that is presented as a car enthusiasts vehicle should have an oil pressure gauge. IMO, it is one of the most important gauges to have to monitor your engine's health. Not having one is just a cheap cost cutting stupid thing.

I hate my dash rattle...because the rest of the car is so perfect!
