i learned about the internal size accidently at an autoshow once.

being 6', most vehicles are designed for people around 5'6", so i naturally just get in a new vehicle and immediately slide the seat all the way back. most times it gets me with a few inches of comfortable.

the fit, i slide the seat all the way back, find myself 2' from the pedals!

Let the dyno wars begin!

I removed the cross bars once I got home. I don't need them at the moment, and didn't want the door gaskets to conform to them.

Yes, I did pay a $5k markup (down from $11k), but I figured I wouldn't be able to get one at actual markup considering my experience with my original "MSRP" dealer. The mark up included lock nuts and "Cilajet" coating. I'm just glad that who ever applied it actually paint corrected the car first since I see no webbing.

Yes, they knew I was weird about people driving my cars, and let me fill up the car myself (they paid).

Pics of the surprisingly good Cilajet application (so glad I don't have to fix any mess/paint correct). Unfortunately they did drill into the front bumper for the plate.

Thanks! This car kinda makes me feel dumb. Couldn't figure out how to turn stuff on and off. Granted, this was in the middle of driving. So I quit pretty quickly and just listened to the sweet tone of the exhaust and sweet BOV.

Congrats on the new whip! Does it take premium fuel or still run on regular? If Premium you're better off fueling it yourself anyway since the dealer often won't put the good stuff in.

Thanks! It requires premium. Also just saw the oil changes are every 5k miles. And I'm not using any of the free Toyota care services. Don't want to chance them putting the wrong oil and or filter on.

I highly doubt the dealership would intentionally fill the car up with the wrong fuel. Also 187.5 hp per liter and you ask which fuel it takes?

I know of a Toyota dealership that put 87 in everything (in addition to abusing the inventory cars, like doing donuts in FR-S's). Not sure if they're still around since that autogroup went out of business I think.

Hate to break it to you but they will because I have seen it.

It won't do anything. The car will just pull timing if it needs to, but it isn't likely to be an issue, especially in winter and through a light-driving, break-in period, if you are driving per the manual's instructions.

First tank of fuel in the my FRS was 87. I've also had to use 87 on at least three occasions when we had fuel shortages in Atlanta due to the Colombia pipeline breaks, etc

Never had an issue.
