The prop for the hood comes completely out so that you can mount it in another hole higher up the engine bay to prop the hood almost straight up. Doing that turns the hood prop at a weird angle, but never fear: They put another rectangular hole at an angle in the hood itself, so that it still fits.

Something about a pedal dance to turn off driving assistance(s).

BRZ has lighter crank pulley and Limited has different rear rotors.

Rear rotors are the same (290x18mm). This has been measured by a few of us on here to confirm.

Apparently the LAST measured before turning off the car! I tried this after fueling up and it showed only a half tank. I tried putting more in but it was definitely full. Once I turned the ignition on it was correct. So I'm not so sure it's a great feature.

You can set the RPM for the car to beep at you with a red light.

But they can fold the seat down from inside the car.... not much of a security feature

Or while reading a book (see Jeremy Clarkson Top Gear video).

For manual? If so, how?

Since some genius decided to show everyone that, yes, now they can.
