Thanks Guys!!!!

Def whole new ballgame, getting in out, made my STi feel like an SUV!! Hahaha Loving the car, avg 24mpg so far almost 3/4 tank of 1st tank! I have shift light set at 4k Rpm and been tough to baby shift it.

I plan to Autocross, actually an event next weekend! I have been driving about 100mil ea day close to 300mi already!! Def Enjoying the car!! Sadly the club is saying since not 1000 sold yet, I can't run a stock class and mentioning Time Only or Super Stock ? Kinda lame, but I am Excited to just get behind the wheel and learn the cars handling

I will race it stock and go from there, 1st mods will prob be wheels/tires/exhaust. Way too quiet for me coming from a run of WRX/STi's.

I am very curious to see info on TRD/ HKS Supercharge Pricing and dyno numbers.

Def AGREE! Everyone should get the FR-S Car cover, I would of thought Everyone would have same Swag, I don't get how some dealers didn't or weren't allocated some for Delivery Party ?

Haven't gone through my first tank yet, but I thought folks might find this of interest.

When I was first sitting in the car at the dealership, it had 7 miles on it, and the "avg. gas mileage" on the display was 17.2MPG. Means absolutely nothing except that it pretty much matched the lifetime average of my last DD at 17.5.

Only a real car geek would know that.

Oh, that's funny - the odds of that!

I can't figure out why people care so much about "actual mpg."

I want to hear about the car after your first or second tank of gas is gone. Anything you didn't notice about the car (positive/negative) initially that you notice now.

Nice!! Enjoy the FRS! Love the color.

In the sun cameras tend to pick them up darker than they are. Although, the outer spokes stand out as silver.

1st Autocross event , what a Great day !! Very impressed w/ stock platform

[MarkRacerX]

Coming from Turbo cars, I will say for a small 2.0L I am enjoying the car more and more, sure no big Turbo Rush/TQ, But it makes pretty good TQ for daily driving, I find myself cruising 4th gear and even around 2500Rpms or so it Responds! Threw me off for low Rpm , small engine that it still has pick up that low.

I am enjoying the car, still getting in / out adjustment being soo sunk in / low takes a bit to swing legs out so I don't kick door or what not.

I am about to order Hankook RS3's soon, very curious to race next Autocross on 140 tread wear RS3s coming from the stock low resistance Oem tires. Still floored how flat/settled this car handles, Autocross was Great !!!

BeSpoke was installed and great looking deck, Nice pandora setup and easy to scroll songs " LIke " them and navigate USB songs , see folders and what not. Sadly I don't have an iPhone 4 which I learned I needed for BeSpoke App. But that is ok, will have one later on. Sound quality is Great for Oem stereo , prob near what my BMW 135/335 sound quality !!

Looking fwd to a catback once we have options, too quiet for me esp coming from many Subaru's, I miss some sort of Growl !!!!

Ordered my FR-S in March while I was in Torrance, CA for the FR-S measuring session at Toyota/Scion. Fast forward a couple months.........
I have just heard that my FR-S (in Whiteout of course) was at the port in Portland. I'm riding my CBR down the South Hill, and I see a Whiteout FR-S coming up the hill. I almost wrecked trying to turn my head fast enough to make sure I had actually seen it!!!

So from one Spokane FR-S owner to another...... CONGRATS!!!!!!!
