If this car had the things people feel are "missing", it would cost closer to 35/40k and be slower, and get less mpg. I for one would not have paid 40 for this car even w all the luxo "missing" features. I would have opted towards a cayman or exige instead (or another supra project). This car is exactly what the creator had in mind (give or take for the masses) and im glad.
Specifically, tires? I dont know ANYONE who buys a sub 50k sporty car, and replaces the oem tires with oem tires... Im glad i got the car at a lower price w these stocks, which afforded me my choice of rims and tires, with the stocks for winter. Radio? Ive driven this car 9000 miles in 4 months and barely even listened to it let alone paid much attn to its appearance. The sunroof/ heated power seats/ etc im not even going to comment on. All in all, it seems like there are alot of twin owners that should have bought something else instead, that or they are the type of person that would not be satisfied with any car on the planet for one reason or another. Enjoy your car, make changes if u want something a little different, or trade it for something that fits u better

I wish you could adjust the stop points when you open the driver's door.
The 1st stop point opens the door so little that you have to be a contortionist to squeeze out, while the 2nd stop point opens the door too wide where you will hit the car parked next to you. |

I hate how there is storage space, make me want to cut holes in the dash and center console, to try and make some bins or something

They should have made the door pockets continue along the length of the door, so I could put sunglasses or random notes, etc down there. Or a cigarette lighter charger. I hated trying to store that thing when not in use, so I bought a 6ft cord and USB adapter for the glove box and now I have a long annoying wire coming from nowhere. Hrm, not much better I suppose...

the only thing I hate about my car is that when I'm inside it, I can't see how awesome it looks from the outside!

Like others I think the car needs more storage pace. It wouldn't add much more weight (if any) or cost to make some door bins and increase the height of the bin just forward of the shifter so sunglasses in a case will fit. Pockets on the back of the front seats would be nice too. The bump on the hood where the badge is just looks wrong to my eyes as well.

The only thing I hate about the FR-S is that crappy third brake light that sounds like it's going to rattle apart when I turn the music up!

The pocket is the exact right size for my iphone 5, i used it for the phone until my proclip came in. Its the same depth as the phone is wide, and the rubber edge is the same height as the phone is thick.

![]() Keys stay in my pocket until I need to lock/unlock my house. Why give a place for the fob when you don't ever need to take it out of your pocket? Maybe for chicks. Chicks never have pockets. I put my cupholders in the forward position and stand my HTC Evo up in between that and the power jack, and the iPhone (work) goes wherever it'll fit. Don't they realize some people need two phones?!?!?!

On my car it's the lack of torque and power sometimes.
I just rode in a modified FR-S with mods like pulley, perrin intake, deleted exhaust, and e85. That thing.. wow. Want. |
