I notice the window auto is not very sensitive to push, i have had to keep the buttons down till the window opens

Own FR-S MT

Cargo net for trunk would be a nice option.

-Audio Equipment Performance (BRZ)

Touch screens are nice but please add some buttons for track forward/back or better yet steering wheel controls. I it's safer and quicker for me to feel for a button then to look for what part of the screen I need to touch to change the track/station.

-Interior Function (Visor, Mirrors, etc) BRZ

Please get rid of the interior resonator/noise generator, or at least provide a way for the user to quickly bypass it. I don't need fake noises pumped into the cabin.

The Toyota badges are flying off the shelf, nobody can keep them in stock.

When people ask me what it is, I say its a Toyota 86 special ordered from Japan.
Yep, I have only 1 Scion dealership in my Province. Like you said, Toyota screwed the Canadian's over...

Honestly, I love my car. And I am glad that Toyota/Subaru has made it. Now, for a couple of minor tweaks:

Front Seat Functionality: The seatbelts are too high. I am not tall, but not THAT short at 5'7". You cannot tell me the Japanese guys liked the position of these belts anymore than I do. When the seat is all the way down (how it should be) the seatbelt rubs my neck raw, even with it in the silly snap holders. I am sure this was a design compromise, but it deserves attention.

Interior Fit: Some panels don't fit PERFECTLY, though again it's not an expensive car.

Rattles: Like my '11 Legacy, the door speakers rattle and the rear window deck rattles.

Tail-lights: PLEASE make an all red or alternative part of the TRD catalog.

Headlights: Bring in the GT86/86 headlights as a dealer option at least. They're better looking.

Audio: I have the base head-unit. It blows. The interface is so old looking it's an embarrassment. The speaker quality is seriously 1980's... the sound is hollow, lacks any bass, has hideous treble highs, and is just pure junk. I know it can be done right, my Legacy has Harman-Kardon and it is 2000% better.

Lastly... though I love the car itself, I have to echo others here. I think the Scion branding was a mistake. I am not a "youth" buyer, but a 40 year old guy that happens to love sports cars and has been dreaming of finding a fixed head car with the mix of handling and power that this car provides. I am not going to tart it up, put on spoilers and body kits, or fake HID headlights. I really think Toyota would have done better by making this a Toyota branded product. It deserves not to be automatically dismissed by people of my generation because of it's branding. Sorry, it's true. But, I guess I bought it anyway... so... what do I know?

BIG Thank you to Toyota and Subaru for making this car, and taking a chance. You guys did the right thing. Now, for the minor tweaks...

Would really like some type of an update for the premium sound system to be compatible with Android OS. Come on NOT everyone has an iPhone, I have the galaxy Note. Also the rear fog light would be nice to use.

I just checked my car this past weekend when I passed the 300 mark. I'm not sure exactly what the chirping sounds like, but I don't seem to have it. Could this second batch of cars that arrived in the second half of July not have it?

Thanks Lone wolf post #17
that should go with the headlights.. Black housing is best

all options should be available to us not just other countries, specially the fog lights should be offer to us (unless i overlooked this)

-Door sill rubber gets scuffed so easily, my converse makes it all white if i touch it getting in.

-Should have the GT86 headlights as an option.

-Sometimes i have problems (especially when i first got the car) downshifting from 5th to 4th, as if something i in the way and it wont go in smoothly. Doesnt happen as much anymore though, as i am used to it now.

-fix the torque dip is possible, feel like unless i really rev up the engine, other cars are walking past me from a stop on a daily basis

-everything else is goood though!
