Will the stereo in that play MP3s off of a USB thumbdrive or is the USB port only for plugging in MP3 players and iPods?

Goddamn that's a nice car! The interior looks awesome, too. Everything seems so well put together and high quality. This is going to be a car to remember!

Onslaught

Very cool. Love the color.


But now I know what one of you guys sounds like. I always imagined you sounding like Gilbert Godfrey.

Stark

DON'T PANIC

Onslaught

You know I really like that interior. The shifter is longer then I like but other then that it's spot on. I hope these cars do well so Mazda, Nissan and the others can step it up too. We need more cars like this if you ask me.


Well done and I hope you like it.

In the video, it appears that he does not know how to work any of the interior electronics. :lol:

Nice car.

You also sound a lot different than I thought you would
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

Congrats on the car. I'm fairly jealous since I'm looking at used sedans and minivans right now ( instead of something fun ) to add to our fleet.  :lol:

I like those toggles on the interior center stack

Hang onto that video, it'll be nice to go back to.  Wish I had something like that when I first bought the Cooper S.

Hey how do you have miata fog/driving lights wired? I am thinking I need to get some to be on all the time the car is running. But want a switch to kill them if I want.. But no room hardly anywhere for a switch! :huh:

Someone makes/made a kit to get the parking lights to behave like DRLs. There was also a kit to put lights in the funny outside blanks on the front parking lights. I had mine set up so the turn signals were in the side blanks and the regular parking lights were DRLs.

I got a good look at one of these (the Scion version) on the freeway today, and I'm finally a full-fledged fan. The proportions of the car are simply beautiful, and it definitely makes a case for itself at $25-30k. Dare I say it looks like it could be an even more expensive car?

Just think of it as 2/3rds of a Porsche engine in a car with 1/2 of a Porsche price tag.

I would take this over a V6 pony car without hesitation.

Bro, ain't no kit for the front parking light blanks. I just bought a couple of housings and a couple of bulbs and wired them up after drilling a couple of holes. Now I have edge-to-edge JDM tyte lites.

That would be tough but I'd never consider a non V8 Pony car anyway! LOL!

MrH

Thanks everyone. Gotta say, i had to poke my head in the garage a couple times tonight just to look at it.

The interior is a huge leap from the Miata. No rags, i don't miss it :lol:

Yes, it will play mp3s from a flash drive i believe.

I'll do a full interior geek out session soon on it for a YouTube video. And I'm glad I sound nothing like what you guys expected (Onslaught thought I'd sound like Gilbert Godfrey?!)

Turns out the drive next weekend to my buddy's family owned bed and breakfast is actually a hell of a drive. One of my roommates and i will be going straight from work in the BRZ next Friday then. Should be broken in after that.

Oh, and by hell of a drive, supposedly it's windy on deserted country roads.

As someone who worked at a dealer for 16 years I wouldn't let them do it if I could.

Agreed.  Dealers are notoriously shit at detailing.
