I don't understand why anyone could be so lazy to really want automatic wipers.

so does the keyless entry work 100% of the time?

My previous BMW, e90 m3, it would not work every time. I would feel like a fool pulling on the door handle on a locked door then have to pull out the fob or keep trying.

Mine's been flawless. Did you perhaps use a tint that may have blocked electronic signals?

Haha. Man. I had a standard 3 and the auto wipers worked beautifully on mine. I had the sensitivity set 1 click away from the least sensitive setting. I never had to change it in 5 years of ownership after I figured out which setting worked best.

I thought about this for a while, and my answer is yes. At that point, though, Scion would have to give up on the idea that they were the youth-oriented brand and thus eliminate their (initial) reason for existing as an entity distinct from Toyota in the first place.

I never really understood it until I had them. Then I was like, whoa. It's just like automatic headlights. It's one of those things you just forget because it does it by itself.

Def worth the price difference for a daily driver. Keyless entry is awesome. 2nd post mentioned you can swap out the start button with a STI button. I looked on the japanese site, and it's around 180$? Are you guys seriously swapping out a button for 180$? lol

Worth every penny IMO. All the small things really just complete the whole package. Not saying its blows the FRS out the water. It just has all the things i was looking for in a new sports car.
