Had mine a few weeks now and the most annoying "feature" is the seat belt guide loop which somehow gets unsnapped whether the seat belt is fed through it or not. It's a lousy design, imo.

We have underbody panels here in the US.. It's not all covered but most is.. Large flat panels allowing air to pass by smoothly… What am I missing here?
I like the exploding front bumper idea.. I'm used to low cars that scrape over speed bumps and sharp inclines.. This one is better than most..

On my BRZ it only has 1 panel about 12in across that runs front to rear. everywhere else has full underbody panels.

And the rattling that occurs when your passenger ends up leaving it unsnapped!

Owned two 2003 Celica Gt-s. Absolutely fell in-love with the VVTLI. Wish my new FR-S had the same. Very upsetting the lack of power this car has. To be Honest... my Celica gt-s felt like it had more power. It also rev'd to 8500 RPM which is higher than the FRS. Wish they made the FRS a 2.0L Turbo or at least with the VVTLI.

That is my favorite feature (although, I am sure that is programmable, call your dealer) I hate it when a car locks the doors when driving, if it does lock automatically it better unlock automatically when you crash (which most don't btw).

First responders would then need to waste time breaking windows to get your and your persons out of the car. but that is just my paranoia.

Not programmable... not even a possible feature on the car.
