** Miki has a signal/wiper mixup in Ichinose-sensei's G-Wagen in a way that isn't actually possible, because for starters, based on details of the steering wheel face and presence of shifter paddles behind the wheel, said G-Wagen is a 2013-2018 example, and thus uses ONE stalk that controls both signals and wipers[[note]]Around 2011-2013, Mercedes-Benz was doing mid-cycle updates/facelifts to a plethora of their existing models. To switch to a single signal/wiper stalk is a result of several of these models of the time, such as the E-class, GLK-class, ML-class, and S-class ditching the tradition floor-mounted shift lever for a column-mounted one, which would preclude the use of seperate signal wiper stalks.[[/note]]. In addition, these combined stalks operate the wipers by rotating a section of the stalk. Miki's action to lift the stalk up to signal right should've done exactly that, not operate the wipers.

Turns out both the AT and MT Mazda 3 with the Speedometer-centric dashboard and digital tach have the same gear display.


** The manual transmission-equipped Mazda Axela that Miki drives during the Driving School chapters is depicted with the dashboard from an Axela equipped with the automatic transmission, as evidenced by the presence of a gear indicator in the tachometer.

** Miki seemingly mixes up the signal and wiper stalks in Ichinose-sensei's G-Wagen in a way that isn't possible as depicted, as the SUV falls within a year range for that specific generation that has a column-mounted electronic shift lever for the transmission, and thus the signal/wiper functions are combined into one stalk. Miki's action of moving the lever to signal should in fact do just that, not activate the wipers.

The issue here is that the vehicle is depicted with the [=6MT=], as Miki went for the MT course, but the dashboard shown is of an Atenza with the [=6AT=], as evidenced by the gear range indicator in the middle of the tachometer (shows P for Park).

Sena Miki, an honours student, was looking forward to her first day of her new high school life. Unfortunately, she got into an accident on her way to the entrance ceremony, and she ended up missing her first month of school. With no more prospects of entering a school club and her social life shot down due to missing out, she resigned herself to being in the 'go home' club, when a strange girl named Lisa invited her to join a 'club' she just formed: The Car Club.

In spite of her initial hesitation, Miki and her friend Haruka ended up joining Lisa's group. However, they still [[ClubStub need to recruit a few more members]] in order to be recognized as an official club. Thus, the trio start their quest to get their group to be recognized as such.
