(3) Ride is a bit too bouncy. ...

(4) Seat-belt/key-in-ignition buzzer is very annoying. ...

(5) Idle RPM is lower than all my previous cars. The Yaris idle speed is about 600 RPM. It feels too low. When I press on the gas, there's a slight hesitation before the engine revs up. ...

Cons: electric steering on highway, LB instrument cluster, clutch pedal interferenece, throttle pedal too light, throttle lag, interior plastic scuffs too easily, annoying seat belt buzzer, difficult to see radio display, head rest tilt too far forward, stinky fabrics, etc.

Well I just want to thank you for that link. Just spent the last 3 hours watching film clips. I've missed so much in my life.

Maybe a forum where he can chat with fellow connoisseurs of finely-crafted automobiles...
lamborghini-talk.com, rollsroyceforums.com, or perhaps ferrarichat.com?

Just look for the guy in there bitching about the fact that he misses shifts because of those poorly-engineered paddle shifters...

..or that the engine on his 1989 Geo Metro was of higher quality than his new European-tuned V-12...

..or that it's dangerous that his sports car doesn't have a blinking light to tell him that it's getting dark out and he should turn on his lights...

...or...
