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

The answer is easy, the clutch. Holy crap I thought it was bad. It's too short, too light, and totally numb.

See, I just drove the one I will own by the end of the day, and I had zero problems with the clutch. Maybe this will change after driving the car more, but for now--it works for me.

Whether or not its because its similar to the performance clutch in the tC (is it?), I had no issues driving the manual.

Either way, its still more fun than the automatic.

1. Doors not unlocking when pulling the door handle.
2. Doors not auto locking when going from park-->reverse or park-->drive
3. Windows going down an inch whenever opening the door, probably premature motor wear.
4. Poor cupholder positions.
5. No console storage/arm rest.
6. No locking glovebox.
7. Nothing to grab onto other than the outside paint for the trunk.
8. Poor cigarette light power position, can't use it for anything on the windshield.
9. Poor odo/info screen, wish it would show more info.
10. Wish it had a compass.
11. Not having the A/C button depressed results in hot air no matter how cool the air is outside.
12. No sunglass storage.
13. No push button ceiling light.
14. Poor BeSpoke system with Android.
15. Orange HVAC control lights when everything is red.

I don't have mine yet, but I have a Celica right now with the window buttons on the center console. I'm going to miss that...lol. But that's probably about it! Though I'll miss the sunroof, but my Celica's doesn't even work properly right now anyway.

Cat-like sand paper tounge material around the gauge cluster...

Have tested but not bought yet... The only thing you guys mention that would bug me is the windows needing to retract to open the door. In my previous cars the windows get frozen shut a few times every year so I'm not looking forward to that.

Regarding the doors auto locking at speed and auto unlocking on door handle pull, I can't figure out why that is even desirable.

But who feels the gauge cluster?

I hate how I have to work instead of drive on a beautiful day like today.

Also, lack of armrest.

Not the gauge cluster itself, the bezel around it. Try cleaning it, parts of the towel stick to it making it look worse.

Someone on here will understand what im saying...

Just about all cars with frameless door glass use this feature. It allows a much better and tighter seal into the weatherstripping. I remember my 2004 C4 Corvette had frameless glass but it did not fit into the seal. It just sat on top of the seal and everytime I got the car upwards of 80+ mph the glass would start to lift off the weatherstripping...got very noisy.

Regarding the doors auto locking at speed and auto unlocking on door handle pull, I can't figure out why that is even desirable.

Again a nice feature and most cars operate this way today. In fact first time I drove my BRZ I locked the doors and when I arrived at my stop I could not open door...then I remembered that it needs to be unlocked prior to pulling door release. Cumbersome at best.

For those of us who haven't been driving high-end cars, this is just second nature to me, I unlock the car right before I get in it.

My 18K Sonata does this and has beautiful lcd screen with a lot of info.
Doors that unlock without unlocking should be standard on all new cars, especially 25K cars.

Be excited, the major complaints for this car are hilarious. Hence BRZ equals awesome.

First world problems.

Doors that unlock without unlocking? I can't say I've ever been in a car with such a feature. Don't even think my parents' MDX has that, but I've never paid much attention. Besides, I mean, what if you want to lock someone in your car?

Jk.
