You can see the green tinge on the right screen at the 3:00 mark of this video

Does anyone else find the door armrests uncomfortable? Its like the soft part is too far back, so my elbow ends up resting on the handle part which is very hard

Technically, we shouldn't even be using them when driving, 2 hands on the wheel. I haven't really tried using mine when driving so I can't comment much beyond that. Im sure with so many people having so many different dimensions of bodies and different lengths of arms ect that it will be entirely subjective.

Mine finally started making that noise others have been having when turning off the car. Has anyone confirmed yet what the noise is, and if it's normal?

I don't own my MK2 BRZ yet but this noise seems normal. Probably the car doing some sort of diagnostic or purge?

I'd just keep an eye on it.

^ Mine used to but kinda just went away. I'm at 3000kms right now. I did use shell 93 for awhile but lately been filling 94 chevron. Not sure that makes any difference though

I only have easy access to 91 here. Petro has 94 but I am not a fan of that company. Husky has 94 too but its hard to find.

Anybody notice the clutch really stinking up the cabin if staring on a hill? I have parked on a downward sloping driveway a few times and had to back out carefully slowly letting out the clutch. Stinks to high heaven. This is with hill start assist disabled.

Moderately, yes. The 2020 never smelled like that under similar conditions.

on that note is hill start disabled or enabled by default?

I found out recently the first gen hill start assist was actually disabled by default.
