thanks for that. needed a laugh after such a slow night at work.

slow night = not enough tips to make me happy = not enough tips to put in tip drawer (money for FRS mods once i own it)

I don't like how my knee sometimes hits the key. I guess push button start does have some positives.

I can't wait til there is a DIY solution, or if it's even possible.

I hate how weak the beep noise is when you lock the car, i hate the cheap clock,lack of a lock on the glove box, and the crappy cupholders. BUT, im glad the sacrifices they made make the car better performing.

The low beep could be turned up at the dealer, or if you have the cable. They ship with it set to level 5 out of 7. I turned mine up and I can actually hear it now.

This might work for you.

I'm listening....

Actually I've been meaning to find out HOW one can go about changing that beep volume and the other features that the dealer "has" to change. Can you PM me with the details on cable, software etc???

• Passenger side A pillar is intrusive when turning left at intersections.
• Navigation unit is centered not tilted towards the driver so the viewing angle is slightly awkward.

Definitely dont HATE anything about the car but these are a few minor thinks that irk me.

And after 3 months of owning the BRZ, I finally find out what the hell those straps where for :P wow, im dumb

I agree 100%, it's a sports car, not a luxury sport. What more do you want?
There are very few things I didnt like about this car stock, but are work in progress:

1. Lack of low-end torque (plan on getting this increased)
2. Brake disks rust when they get wet (plan on changing these)
3. Amber side markers (already changed)
4. Antenna (already changed)

What kind of disks you plan on getting that don't rust?

Last year when I was following the car around at auto shows I noticed the seatbelt strap was ripped on all the cars. After seeing that, I just leave the belt unstrapped so I dont rip it.

The ripping I might blame on a bunch of inexperienced bozos not releasing the seatbelt before getting in/out of the backseat.

It will probably eventually rip, but that's what gorilla glue or expertise with a needle and thread is for. I'd rather be more comfortable than not.
