What you HATE the most on your FR-S/BRZ/GT86/FT86? - Page 35 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The only thing I complain about is FRS is a Scion and not Toyota, but of course there is a fine reason for that.

Not much to complain about here. Except on my drive home today I noticed the shift knob doesn't feel sporty to grip. It feels... generic. I looked it up and found that it IS generic used by other Subarus. The bump in the center should be concave so my palm can sink in and fit so I'd feel more of the shifter enveloped by my hand. That'd make for a sportier to grip. Now I understand the idea behind the TRD knob. Doesn't look like anything special but I bet it feels wonderful in the palm...

Uneven ride (although only a few mm) and sound of the horn maybe ...

somewhere to put my sunglasses away so they don't melt in the Texas sun. No garage door homelink. Limited storage for nick nacks in general.

Yea, I agree about the sunglasses part. I just put one of the arms through the loop on the visor. It doesnt work when driving since they slide around, but its fine when parked.

For the garage door opener, get a Subie homelink mirror. The plug is already there for it.

Starting to bother me more the longer I have her. The plastic piece my knee hits on the center tunnel. I'm starting to get a bruise from leaning my driving Legg against it. Some padding would have helped. Going to have to attach some kind of padding there ASAP.

Rear View Mirror doesnt go all the way up

You have to crouch down just to see farther out. It only shows me the bottom half of the back of the car even though its as high as it can go

Anyone know how to fix this?

This is the same for both the normal mirrors and the auto dimming mirrors because I just had the auto dimming mirrors installed today.

Where you get this? I feel like the shift knob is kinda slippery. Ive slipped on it a couple of times taking 2 seconds just to change gears

You know what I hate about the map light in these cars? They chip very easy when trying to get the lens out. My maplight looks like shit now

Just decelerated aggressively with a 44oz Unsweet Tea in the "cupholder". "Cupholder" experienced catastrophic failure. Luckily the 44oz cup and lid were engineered to a higher standard and remained intact as it bounced off the dash and onto the passenger floor. I officially dislike the "cupholder".

The shipping company didn't give two shits about what the delivery driver did. Even after saying they will look in to it and maybe refund my money they did absolutely nothing.

Complain to Head Office, that's not right, that's a lot of mileage, I hope they didn't abuse it, you have a right to complain:
