It's hard to pick just ONE thing we like the most, but anyway...

+ The impeccable quality and reliability

- The slightly sensitive clutch that stalls you too easily without sufficient gas.

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-05-2009, 05:11 AM

Good: Excellent FE.

Bad: Mine came without ABS, foglights, spoilers, alloys.

Like; Sharp lookin' exterior
Dislike; Cloth material used on the seats....

I like the MPG & Toyota reliability..

The tallied cost, as each option is added up, for such a car in its slotted subcompact/economical class sucks AsS! hahahaa!! 'Gets ridiculous for a well-optioned one (i.e., someone said they paid $19thou for theirs).. The base, or as close to it, is common sense.

Like: My favorite thing is the variety of mods available and knowledge base of fellow owners that are willing to share their experiences with them.

Dislike: I hate the fact that every time I take my seat belt off, the belt doesn't easily recoil without me guiding it back into the housing !! If I don't do this the uncoiled belt wants to lay in the way of the door sill... Damn that annoys me !!

You could move the seat forward you know... Or are your legs too long to be able to move the seat forward?

Anyway, my like:
Fuel economy

Dislike:
No steering wheel audio controls

500snakz · 01-12-2009, 10:01 PM

If my legs were 3 feet shorter, it would work fine. I am 5"11 and an average size. There is no position that is comfortable for me. Either the steering wheel is too far away or my knees are cramped up. When I am driving, My upper back does not even touch the back of the seat.

I do love the gas milage tho!!!

I'm 5'8" and experience the same issue.
The wheel is just not proportioned correctly in relation to the pedals. It took me a while to get accustomed to the reach. And now other vehicles that were fine before feel cramped.
