It’s time to play “Which Government Regulation Killed These Otherwise Harmless Features?”
OK, so not the manual and the crank windows, but the rest.

I really wish my FR-S had pop-up headlights.

This one is important. I think some new cars don’t have any spare tire.

The only things I really agree with are the spare tire and the manual transmission. Roll up windows get old very quickly, especially where its hot, and I can’t remember the last time I used a CD. Not sure what you’re going for the with the cargo area photo or the BMW front photo.

The hard part is convincing EVERYBODY ELSE THAT ISN’T US WHO BELIEVE IN MANUAL that the manual transmission is leagues and light-years better than CVT or auto and getting them to buy their cars on stick. Particularly performance cars.
Or, you can have something like this.
Shifts like a manual, but shifts fast as fuck and only has two pedals. Screw paddles, I want a gated sequential.

Manual should be mandatory, roads would be so much safer.

So surprised that the FoST had one

Really?
I kid, I kid, but the question is... how?

The only wrong things on the Fost are the wheels that drive the car, and the infotainment system, the fake sound, the non properly aspirated engine. Otherwise it’s great.

what is that ?

The office of a DS3 Rallycross car. Comes with that transmission setup that I really like: stick sequential.

Unless you live in Europe. The Carb and pop ups are pretty much the only things missing. Based on what you listed, entry level shit boxes sound rather nice stateside.

And before too long. This guy will be a thing of the past as well.

I mean, it would either have to have been designed that way originally or need some insane custom fab work done.

Basically a bunch of outdated technologies. Got it.

I really like it. I mean I would love to have waited and gotten the FoRS instead but when I bought the FoST for what I bought it for was the absolute right time.
\if it were an NA motor it would be far less powerful
\I have ST1 so only the basic Sync system - not bad, not great either
\from what I hear a Mountune or other proper catback exhaust resolves that issue

Right, just because I’m not an automotive hipster, I prefer autonomous cars. Give me a meaty V6 with 21st century technology, please and thank you.

the wheels that drive the car are great 18"x8" really complement the design well too. the infotainment system works ok and the turbo makes more low end power per displacement and light weight than any natural aspirated mill. also the sound is real not fake. idk how you can have a fake sound.....
