Always said it was hugging me so I guess the Hakone just doesn't love me like the Lava did!

This is probably my biggest complaint with my FR-S, the weak door holding ability. It sounds silly but it is very annoying. Even on the slightest incline it won’t stay open. It seems that Toyota/Subaru finally fixed it.
I will start thinking of it as my car hugging me.

I sometimes like the tractor noises.. the KACHUNK of the transmission at times at low speeds can be satisfying haha.

I like the tractor noises also, it’s amusing. And yes the gear KACHUNK is satisfying as hell.

There are times, like today, when I drive my car and think, I couldn’t be legally having any more fun driving on the street. The weather is getting cooler, my FR-S feels peppier, it’s good stuff.

This conversation made me curious so I went out last night and made sure I was on the most inclined section of my driveway and tried the door. Didn't move at all. They obviously changed something.

Add in the crickets and the gear change clicks and you’ve got quite a symphony going on. Lol
The teachers at my daughter’s school pickup/ drop off line don’t know what to make of it. And a teacher shut the door by pushing the window. My car OCD kicked in big time. Even my daughter was like “Dad I could tell you didn’t like that”

Lol I was driving through the center of town the other day and the engine crickets were out in full force. As I passed people walking I was wondering the same thing. Do they think something is wrong with my car? Do they know about the FRS/BRZ crickets? Do they think that I did it on purpose?

On the other hand, I really hope gen 2 has crickets too. It's just a fun quirk IMO.

99.99% of them didn't even notice.

They most likely think it's just a diesel engine -

That that don't know the car won't notice or care. Those that do know the car may notice but still don't care

I don't think it is that noticeable.

Nothing sounds as broken as a motorcycle with a dry clutch or a slipper clutch. The slipper in my bike sounds like very loud piston slap.

Sound starts at 31 sec,

Why does that type of clutch make that sound?
