...looks like the difference in gear ratios between manual and automatic transmission versions might help explain the difference in EPA mileage estimates...

I cant believe people still hold MT EPA estimates as relative to actual MPGs. Wake up, produce one reasonable vehicle that has a better "real world" (thats where you are driving right? Yeah, not EPA land) AT vs MT.
Then again we are talking MPGs on a performance car, its like wanting a light 12ga with low recoil.... Under given cirumstances the relationship is a cause and effect. |

Seriously? You do realize that moving the 1:1 gear to fifth means you have closer spaced 1-5 gears, right? It's basically a close-ratio gearbox, which means you'll have a better selection of gears for accelerating out of corners. Also the gearing on the manual is going to be much different than the automatic, where 4th is your 1:1. Personally, I'd rather have an awesome close ratio gear box at the cost of MPG...

I don't understand the "Standard Audio System." It says 300W and then it says 160W. Which is it?? Please advise.

Dadhawk beat me to it. That's also why you'll see that the bespoke may be advertised as a 340 watt system
200 for the bespoke HU + 140 for the amp

Agree about the standard radio... it is the most b*tt ugly radio I've seen in a long time. Good features but ugly ugly.

Yup. They couldve just given us a regular Toyota headunit, like in Corollas or something, and included the amp and aux setup. But noooooo, someone got high at the conference table and let this pass.

No Scion Security (factory alarm) option? I wonder if it will arrive later?
I hate having hack job car alarms installed by independent shops. |

Thanks for the post Ichi!
So only 48 lbs. difference between the AT & MT. So the AT tranny must be fairly light. And only a 4 lbs. difference between the FRS & BRZ is good to know too. ![]()
