What you HATE the most on your FR-S/BRZ/GT86/FT86? - Page 197 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Well not technically on the car but...the payments are what I hate most

Porcupint · 04-12-2015, 01:52 AM

Alright, I'll bite now that I've had the car for about 5 months.

Annoyances:

Doors don't have an automatic lock/unlock. My Honda would lock when speed exceeded 15 mph and would unlock when I turned the car off.
Don't have a fuel range and honestly still not sure how far I can go once the light comes on and the light seems to come on a little prematurely.
No arm rest. Wish the Euro armrest wasn't $200 but what ever.
Navigation unit in the BRZ is absolute garbage. Very laggy, sound quality is awful, bluetooth connects when it wants to
Windshield wipers were about useless in anything over a drizzle. Upgrading to Rain-x wipers and rain-x all the glass on the car made a huge difference in visibility in the rain thankfully.

Hate:

The road noise is insanely loud at 70+ MPH. I'm not asking for BMW/Lexus levels of quite but holy cow I feel like I'm yelling at the passenger when we try to have a conversation.

The light comes on with about 2 gallons remaining. I usually play it safe and guestimate that I can go ~40 miles after the light comes on before I really start to worry, but I honestly don't like letting the light come on in the first place.

Don't want to burn up the fuel pump

Mine seems to come on with anywhere from 3 to 1.75 gallons left going off what I can put in the tank when I fill up.

But agreed on on not like it coming on. I usually fill up at a quarter tank left unless I'm on a road trip.

The fuel light, I believe is based off the MPG you currently have. When I was running at 24MPG (UK Gallons) the light came on at 1/4 tank. When I was running at 41MPG it came one just barely above the "R"

I think the fuel gauge in general is one of the more inaccurate I've ever seen. Minor gripe tho until I really need it to be.

I hate how my HVAC lights are orange and everything else is red. Very annoying at night

I feel like the yellow low fuel warning light comes on waay too early.

Sammakko · 04-12-2015, 03:36 PM

i don't like the way the seat slides around when you pull the "move forward" strap. if you're sitting on a hill, you have to hold the seat forward when exiting the rear seat.

also, that you have to reset the recline position after using the "move forward".

I hate the old climate control system on my frs... why cant I have BRZ's push start and dual climate that looks so much better
