Why is your leg at steering wheel height?

You may want to rethink your value of logic.

You must be sized like Shaq. In a Buick TV ad, it looks like his thighs are swallowing the steering wheel and his head is resting up against the rear seat headrest.

My dealer explained to me the reason for the gas door being on the right side was for safety reasons. For example, if you were pulled over on the highway or something because you run out of gas, you would stand on the right side away from traffic to fill it up rather than having to stand on the left side where you are close to moving traffic.

So, by that logic (which may or not be involved in this thread as noted above) what do the RHD 86 drivers have to do to stay safe? Or is the gas door on their passenger side, on the opposite side of the car?

even when you hit the button like 2 or more times real fast? brz honks after a few ocd button pumps.

I always thought manufacturers were required to put some on the right side so that one way gas stations would be utilized correctly. Probably completely made up.

In any case, I like it on the passenger because less cars have it on the passenger side and it makes getting a spot easier in one way stations.

Also, getting used to having it on the right side isn't exactly hard. Talk about first world problems.

Mine honks but I have a dealer installed security system.

only thing I hate about my brz:

IT'S IN THE FRIGGIN SHOP AND NOT UNDER MY BUTT!!!

[artizhay]

I didn't know the gas door was on the right side so once I figured that out, I drove in circles around the gas station like an idiot trying to figure out which way to pull into the pump.

Amen! I hope to get her back soon, otherwise

[JWA]

The only thing that I've found that I think could have been done better is that the sat backs don't have a "memory" feature. If you tilt them forward you have to manually find the right spot again every time. Otherwise this car is fantastic!

Five stinks bugging me after a good month with the car..

- I dont like the gas pedal throttle maps.. Too little movement for too much throttle.. Makes consistent traffic driving more of a pain than it already is.

- The lack of right knee padding on the BRZ.

- The wacko bass coming out of the doors... I've never had car speakers distort sound so bad.

- The crickets (they present an obvious lack of engineering for the variety of the worlds fuel varieties)

- The tires are weaksauce... Squeeling on right turns is too easy

Other than that luv it... All the issues can be corrected and will be eventually by the dealer or my doing..
