The vehicle locator thingamabob isnt activated. Bring it to the dealer and tell them you want that turned on, then after two lock presses the horn honks.

You can also have them turn up the volume on the beep. Its set to 5 from the factory but can go up to 7, and it makes a noticeable difference.

i was unaware that subaru fits the car with another optional tire from the factory!.there is nothing on the window sticker that would indicate that this is so!.all cars are being fitted with michilin primacy high performance ''summer" tires
My car has Bridgestones..

I hate that the fr-s is marketed as a Scion, which comes with a lot of ricers getting into them. Lol

I hate the fuckin' diva attitude that SOME vendors have in respect with their customers.
I'll wait till my 86 looks fully TRD before I let the chat out of the bag..

For me, only thing I hate is the headrests. It always feels like I am pushing my head forward. I found it was a lot better though after I reclined my chair back a few clicks. I haven't had any of the problems others are having with the radio, seat belt straps etc., so I guess YMMV. There are minor dislikes but hate is a pretty strong word.


How do you make it louder?

HAHAHA I thought it was just me when it came to 2nd gear. It's so rough when upshifting from first sometimes. I found it to be a lot smoother when I just add some extra throttle and roll off the clutch. It's only this gear though that gives me problems. How else is everybody handling this one? My flossy knob only helped a little bit.

Really don't like how the seatbelt is so hard to grab. Yeah you can put it through that loop in your seat but sometimes it still friggin detaches!
