I would never purchase anything from Don McGill Toyota ever. They have the worst customer service imaginable and just poor work ethic. I was part of a class action against them as a government action but apparently they only took 50 people and I was number 70 something that wanted in on it. Mainly just people getting screwed over, robbed, service theft, etc. Steer clear. They are not BBB accredited because there was a government action against them.

Rarely I have had a studder. Maybe less than 5 times total.

When I first got mine, I had the idle dip when coming into neutral at a stop. Now that I have a couple thousand miles on mine, it has been reduced/eliminated. I still have the "chirp" from the DI system, though.

Mine had a few hardstart issues but that had to do with the guy putting regular in the car. Once I got some premium in it all sorted itself out

Yeah once I got premium in it everything started performing admirably.

The performance and feel of the car is night and day going from regular to premium. I did not think it would be that big of a difference but it really feels like a different car. It caught me off guard.

I didn't notice any difference in performance, probably because I'm used to much higher powered vehicles, but the way the engine behaved and ran was definitely better. No more chirping, drastically lower amounts of random dips and stutters. I'm sure once I get an oil change it'll be perfect.

There was a thread about 91 oct being a potential issue which is what make me wonder as we get 93 oct in Texas.

Well yea this is a lightweight in power but that is basically what I meant. The car would move when I hit the gas rather than put-put around and resist my every action.
