I hate that it is missing the rear fog light, it wouldve looked really good and unique on the road during night but somebody had decided to not include it for us

I just got a FRS yesterday, the steering wheels seems stiff (when turning), is that normal?

Depends what you are used to but I would classify the wheel as a bit firmer than average.

Someone was saying the steering wheel loosens up after a while.

I think the only complaint I have so far is how the door opens, it creeps further then anticipated.

I hate that it snows in Cleveland, keeping me from driving it all year.

Maybe it's just my shoes losing grip, but the pedals are unusually slippery when my shoes are wet. I imagine this will only get more annoying as winter rolls around. Anyone else feel the same about the pedals? Maybe it's just time for me to replace my shoes...

I think that's a shoe issue. My combat boots are awful to drive with when they're wet, but my running shoes are fine. My boots are also bald on the bottom now, so I think that has something to do with it.

Does anyone find the stock sound system sounds weak, flat and it's missing something?
My 98 Corolla and 2001 Camry sounded better.

I have it set to FR-S, put the ASR on high and other stuff too. Any other setting I'm missing?

The FR-S setting makes a ton of difference. Adjust your sound levels to your liking. Remember, this is a car thats meant to be driven, not a luxury cruiser

I think the door speakers are the source of my hate for this system... They sound decent on some songs but fart/dissapear on others.. I swapped them out for some beefier Dyn Audio 2 ohm 6.5's (with spacer) and put in a 8 inch sub in the trunk... Night and day difference.... I may also swap the dash speakers for a better mid's.
