Yeah I think that is normal.. That must be how AT are able to get 34MPG to our MT 30MPG.

FYI: there has been "prior research" on this in the forums somewhere. I believe they were able to correct, but unfortunately I don't remember the exact thread.

I don't think the rear "seats" are actually meant for practical use...all I can think of using for is a baby carseat haha. But, it's nice for someone who doesn't normally drive people around because it's an easy reach...In my old car, it was always annoying trying to reach into the backseat for something.
And I definitely agree that the front looks better on the FR-S than BR-Z!

It's sad a lot of people don't know the name Scion >.< It'd be cool to change it to Toyota

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...

What do I hate the most on my FR-S? Hmm... The fingerprints. Seriously... why do people have to look with their hands?

Let us know how that comes along.
I may consider this too because I hate scratching the door with my foot. especially my passengers who don't know better.

Yea, it was steady there before I took the photo for about a mile but I'm not 100% sure I wasn't on a slight downhill grade. Haven't attempted to duplicate.

Not a hate, but I'm annoyed that the door doesn't just pop open when you pull the handle. My tC had it, and when they gave me the loaner iQ, it had it also. Just curious why they didn't put it on the FR-S, unless I just need to program it? I'm not a big guy, but it's pretty cramped to hit the unlock button without scuffing up the door to get passed my knee. I also get the fog above the third brake light. All the rattles that make my speakers sound blown is annoying too. Other than that, I love everything about this car. Especially the new car smell, mmmmmm
