While I miss the noise and the kick that VTEC supplied, I only have one dislike.

This is a bit of a shocker, but I find the car too fast.

I can't drive around with my foot to the floor because I would just be exceeding the speed limit too much.

Apart from that, I love everything else.

Sleek look
Stock rims are awesome (although everyone on here seems to hate them)

Stock speakers suck. Was expecting much better sound for a sporty car

-torque, makes driving in NJ traffic better. My previous Legacy GT would take 2 seconds before power kicked in.
-MPG. FR-S is getting 26mpg in city, Legacy Got 19mpg.

Dislike
-I hate the seat belt loop. The buttons keep on coming off. Plastic loop or adjustable height would be better.
-No seat height adjustment in the front of the seat. Driving long distance is going to be painful. I like the Legacy GT seats better.
-The suspension is a little harsh. Hope it softens over time.
-Intermittent wipers, too slow on the fastest setting.
-Missing miles left on tank of fuel.

My seat belt loop never comes off

And you can control the speed of the wipers even on intermittent, there is intermittent adjustment you know
