Interesting features on the FR-S...
You may already know this but thought I'd share;
1)in the interests of getting serious about lowering weight and the center of gravity, the FR-S's hood is fabricated out of ALUMINIUM. 2) FR-S has a second power outlet (in addition to the one in the center console)...it's located in the upper right rear of the glove compartment. Has a black plug installed by default. Last edited by Senzai; 05-03-2013 at 01:25 PM. |

Err. Mah. Gherd. Mind blown. I thought I knew every nut and bolt on these damn cars and I still am able to learn a thing or two. The roof is definitely steel. If a magnet sticks it isn't aluminum. I just looked at the car on the showroom floor and the BRZ's have the 12 volt outlet in the glove compartment as well. |

The Canadian brochure states the trunk's aluminium... must be an error

Well I installed my rear spoiler today so I'm 100% sure the trunk is metal.

If you pull the hand brake while driving, the car makes a weird smell.
Try pouring sugar into the gas tank, the car makes cookies.

I noticed on my fr-s that there is a fog light indicator next to each turn signal indicator inside the dash. Must be for when you install the fog lights.
