The only thing I hate about the car is that every other person wants to race me. If I raced everyone who wanted to race I would be in jail right know and not typing this.

Well, I don't seem to have that problem.

If you have short gray hair, wear tri-focals, suspenders and have left your turn signal on ...... no one wants to be along side you ......

The seat sits too flat on the bottom, doesn't give good thigh support like my old JDM WRX seats did...

I mean it is what it is; my S2000's cruise control was just as inaccurate in adjustments. Meanwhile my brother's 335i sedan was dead on accurate in 1 mph adjustments.
I had 2 other scions with the same control.. Each worked the same as this one.. I get 1 mph increments with each press.. Sometimes it takes a few seconds to show on the speedo.. But it works fine and is quite accurate. No complaints with mine..

Now that I've had the car for a year, I've been trying to think of things I hate about it. I can't really think of anything. Great car, love driving it, lives up to the hype IMO.

Pull it up and out, flip it around and reinstall the headrest, it is designed that way for helmet use, or upper back and neck pain.
Plenty of posts concerning this

It's not worth it, and it's a pain to install (been there done that), plus the money could buy knee pads too
