What you HATE the most on your FR-S/BRZ/GT86/FT86?

I'd like the seats to be a little HIGHER so rear passengers can fit their feet under there easier. :happy0180:

My gripe is that the rear view mirror vibrates ever so slightly when the car is in motion, so everything looks slightly blurred. I've never had a car that did that before.

In this case, since I don't want the body kit, the dealership will attempt to make a trade, but if someone comes in and wants the body kit and the car, I am SOL if the dealership hasn't arranged a trade and they are ready to buy. Its a BS system, they just make you think its first come/first served.

Its sad, but money rules over waiting in line anymore.

Sounds strange to me.. I was able to put down a deposit and tell them exactly which car I wanted and they got it for me.. no luck of the draw for me - I told them I wanted a Red, MT, and NO BeSpoke. They got me one in 2 weeks. My understanding is they can see a list of cars coming into the region and the inventory manager has to work trades with different dealerships to swap colors and transmission configurations.

Thats essentially the process. From what I have been told, they can't do swaps or trades until the car arrives at the dealership, however.

I'd don't like that the seat angle doesn't go back to its original position when you push it back after my kids have climbed into the backseats. Any fix for this?

Tell the kids they aren't allowed in the car anymore?

I don't think anyone has a fix for this as of yet.

One small kid in the right back seat is good for the weight balance.

I don’t think there ever will be a fix for this.. unless the fix is swapping for aftermarket seats.

The seats that are currently equipped run on a "ratchet" type system.. once you slide the ratchet all the way up (pushing the seat up to let someone in the back), you can’t skip over the initial locks without having to do it manually.

If anyone comes up with a fix for this I will be pleasantly surprised.

Just checking, but you do know the driver's seat has an up/down adjustment right?

the stock tires. I wish they were some 205 all season ones instead of summer tires. Now I think I will have to get a second set of tires for the winter.

Even if they were all-season, I would still get winter tires. The car is too light to go around in winter without them, especially in Colorado.

I retract this statement. I checked again and it wasn't all the way down. I was able to drop it another half inch. The seat is now perfect. Thanks for making me check that.

Unless you do it right, you're not going to have the intended effect.
