Same. My 6-speed Jeep Wrangler has 230k on it, original clutch.

I noticed this a few times in a similar situation, but with hill assist enabled. But most of the time there's no smell so I just assumed it was on me.

Wow, that's some precise clutch work. I've never put more than 45,000mi on a car.

I've had the clutch smell once for no "good" reason, just pulling out of my parking spot.

Hi, new here. Thought I'd post a possible....quirk?

2022 BRZ here, just past break-in. Changing wheels/tires soon and was thinking about the TPMS. Well, there isn't one. I don't have the tire pressure screen, no TPMS reset button and it doesn't light up on the dash. I have a Canadian model. Anyone else?

Subaru Canada does not include TPMS. I was surprised at this as well.

They didnt in gen 1 as well.

Yup no law for this up here like in the US. BMW put tpms in the US cars but not Canadian until the new G series now they just universally put them. Can tell you I love pressing a button and seeing my tire pressures at the track !!

Subaru seems to be still racking up the savings on this..

Let's hope the G series TPMS is better than my F Series.

In my F32 which traded to get my BRZ, The TPMS was always off by at least 2 PSI and often would fluctuate randomly as well every time each time I'd view the data. It got tot the point where I never used that screen. This was the case across two sets of wheels and TPMS sensors. A reliable pressure gauge is where I put my trust, not the sensors.

I'll be interested to see how accurate the TPMS is in Subaru. I haven't been able to drive it enough to tell yet.

Strange thing happened this week. One morning the car stopped detecting which gear I was in on the display. I’m going to give it a couple days and see if it fixes itself.

Cluster reset your GSI & shift indicator setting and the rev limit warning too. Mine just did that yesterday. Seems like a common bug.

I found out recently the first gen hill start assist was actually disabled by default.

It's enabled by default. There is an ever-present icon on the screen showing that it is on. Unlike in our WRX where the system is enabled by default, but there's no annoying light saying it's on.

I find the hill assist to be way worse in the BRZ than anything else I've had. To the point where I might disable it as it isn't really helping me.

BMW/MINI TPMS sensors are doodoo.

Yeah it's weird. My Fiesta ST had it, so does my partner's 2008 Escape. I just thought it was a standard thing. I'm not bothered actually because I like to switch wheels and don't mind checking my own pressures! Though I can see the convenience on track....
