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

[Ccecilia]

The mirrors dont have lights! Whats up with that.... no volume buttons on the steering wheel. I still love my car and the way that most of the people "break their necks" just to double check if its the car that everybody its been talking about..... i just simply love it ....

I like most of the car. I don't like the clutch. It's too light. The car has a lot of blind spots. I don't like that it's a Scion. It should have been brought over as a Toyota (But that's a whole other discussion that exists somewhere else already). I would like it if I could set traction control off permanently and only turn it on when I wanted it (Opposite of how it works now).

It would be nice if it had steering wheel controls for the radio, but it's not a big deal that it doesn't.

Overall, it is doing the job of what I got it for quite nicely. And that job is being a fun daily driver.

The trunk release has been getting annoying since it doesn't clip back in place really good

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.

Hell the Miata hasn't had a true oil gauge since the early 90's they use a simulated one now. If you check your oil every other fill-up you really don't need an oil pressure gauge.

Not sure if this was already said, but the back wheel wells look a little cheap/unfinished with the holes along the rim.

I know you can request that your dealer not drill it for you, but then you have to worry about them following through with it and find another solution for its placement (ie. tow hook relocator).

I know there are many states that don't require a front plate, but for those of us in Canada and a number of states in the US, it's kind of a bummer.

I am required to have a front tag and they drilled it into the grill and put a special bracket to hold it. So maybe it was just your dealer. I would not have wanting them drilling into my bummer either.

I haven't had a car that used blind spot indicators but I feel like they would be helpful for the FR-S. I find myself looking through the little portholes a lot longer than I should, trying to see if anyone is in my blind spot.

I miss having, as part of the trip computer, a miles to empty countdown. My xD had this but the FR-S doesn't. I know it sounds petty but let's face it, there isn't that many things to complain about!!

I really do love my car but little annoying things
* blind spots like other have mentioned , doing the side window adjustments and blind spot attach mirrors
* I may be one of the few to actually always use my turn signals but they don't always pop off even when it was a definite turn.
* main thing is the power outlet requires my gps to have a cord from the middle of the console all the way up. The only other option is using the one in the glove box which is just an odd place for the only spare one. Guess will have to get a different gps.

Luv
* cup holders in the side of door
* I do like the clutch
* the seat lies down in the back it is a flat surface in my laser years ago was tilted and when I put my cat carrier in the back the poor cat slid all over the car
* it is sure easier to parallel park then my xterra.

Hate the thickness of the B-pillars. Makes blind spot checking more difficult. I also don't like the ring lock-out on the shifter to get the car into reverse gear. Prefer the push-down lock-out like the S2000. I also prefer if reverse were beside 6 instead of 1st.

Hi Guys! Billy Mays here!


haha sorry just bad habit of saying that when I say hi.... anywhoo. Browsing around I thought I'd give off my opinion on the FRS. I do not own one, but I have sat in them a few times.

Dislike:

-Rear seat space for legs
-The Carbon Fiber looking plastic should be carbon fiber
-The front bumper. It's nice but I expected a meaner sportier look. It still looks better than the BRZ.

That's basically it. Love the feel of it and look...

oooh! Perhaps the thing I do hate on is the Scion logos. When I get this vehicle (waiting n a TRD version), I will be looking forward to shaving the logos and perhaps adding in old skool ae86 Toyota logos or TRD logos. Really love the 1970's/80's logos of Toyota.

Then again i'm biased as I dislike Scions. Big fan of Toyota and Lexus although all three are one and the same...

[Tujin]

No volume control while using bluetooth audio. Seriously?
