Some Toyota associates have driven them, but I haven't had the opportunity to. What's it like Guaruja?

Guess I'm jumping the gun a bit in asking this - since not many have had the chance.
I've driven both manual and auto - and I was shocked by how fun the auto actually is! Didn't push it hard because I didn't want to risk the car. Was also very impressed by how nice the interior feels! Soft touch panels on the door, etc. - and even the "last inch auto up" on the windows. Not sure what that's called - like other sports cars - when you close the door, the windows automatically seal / move up an extra inch! haha My order is in - still debating - Silver or Asphalt... |

Did drive it in Sport, and Manual also. VERY quick transmission! I've driven probably few thousand miles on IS-F, and yes, you can see the transmission comes from that car in some ways... Sport mode is fun - the VSC does let the tail go out a bit - then catches you just before you really get into trouble. I haven't had that big of a smile driving a car in a while - and I've driven quite a few (Ferraris, Astons, etc.)... |

How was the shifter in the manual, pretty smooth or notchy?

Seems that would be more suited for a Mustang/Charger/Camaro rather than a tiny 2L car. |
