Just imagine if there would be a quiz before they gave you the keys to validate you would not be an idiot while in warranty…



How many would pass that?

I know full off on the newer cars is more like actual full off. No E-diff etc. You keep ABS, but that is it.

Yeah I’ve found VSC Sport mode to be perfectly fine, and I don’t track my car. Without better tires you will just slide more anyway.

Dang, tough crowd. Now I’m illiterate.

idk if it makes me weird, but as soon as i got my '13, i took my manual out of the glovebox and read it in bed every night until i was done...and when i got my '16 i did the same thing lol

It came with the owners manual, and I did read through it. No I don’t think it’s weird you like to read the owners manual. I was one of the few kids that loved to read the instruction books in video games, when they still had those.

The next couple of nights I’m going to read that wonderful 2016 Scion owners manual. Maybe even pour a glass of wine, or Shiner Oktoberfest I will be able to quote any section by memory.
The FR-S really doesn’t have any features, and I’m so familiar with Toyota and Subaru products it just felt like home. I never dug into the manual. I realize the error of my ways now.

you might be thinking of the pedal dance. that you must be stopped, and it needs to be performed within a specific timeframe after the car is started.

who needs the manual when we've got you 'n ultra?

they're always telling me to delegate better at work, might as well test the theory in my private life first!

You can skip the parts abut how to wear a seat belt and don't need to memorize what each fuse is rated for but I bet you learn at least 3 things you didn't know about the car.
