Wonder about TPMS. Does the computer hold more than one code so that we can have seperate sensors for snow/track tires without having to reprogram every time? It may also seem logical to include a 2nd set of TPMS since a lot of cars probably have an extra set of tires for one reason or another! Info suggests reprogramming is required, but wondering if like some other vehicles if computer will actually relearn if a new sensor(s) are added?

Rattle from my drivers side door (where the door meets the frame) even at idle with no music on or anything.

Bluetoothon stock Scion radio foes not handle pairing to multiple devices well at all. You have a stop (and I mean completely) to access the options and manually disconnect one device to connect the other. My 5 year old plantronics headset does multipoint better than that. on the other hand, call quality is great.

I own a Subaru BRZ MT.

The rear end of the car crumples really well.

Also, an arm rest option would've been great.

BRZ MT

AC compressor makes a tweet sound (the same sound like when smoke alarm is low on battery) under load more often than normal. When the car is cold every 3 to 8 seconds, when warmed 5 -15 seconds, when warmed and 100 plus degrees outside kicks on only once in a while. When it tweets during driving condition there is a slight power hesitation.

FR-S manual owner.

1. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the torque dip yet. This car is FANTASTIC, but it just needs a little more power. 20-30 HP would be enough for it to really shine. And get rid of that torque dip.

BRZ MT

Depending on the temperature of the car and outside temperature the shifter makes an audible vibration noise in higher rpms (3500 rpm and up). It vibrates on acceleration and constant throttle. When letting off the throttle it goes away.

Driving in the morning (after letting the engine warm up slightly) there is a faint metallic rattle/vibration from the engine area from 3000 rpm and up. It goes away once the engine warms up.
