To me the trunk key lock, is totally redundant. I am taking it out and mounting my backup camera in the hole.

my radar detector has speed detection with GPS and when the car was stock, the digital gauge was dead on with my detector. however, I now have slightly taller tires and my digital speedo reads about 2 MPH lower. afaik, you cannot calibrate it but I doubt it will read anything significantly higher/lower for you to be worried unless you're on 22's.

for me personally, because of where I live, the foglights are useless as well as the heated seats/mirrors. it's a miracle if it gets below 40F in the dead of winter before the sun comes up. I would rather wish I had cooled seats since it gets over 120F in the middle of summer and even with the AC on, my back still gets sweaty lol

there are a few cool details that I found pretty nice though, one of them being the tow hook next to the spare. I never had a car that came with one and it is great to use on the track and not have to worry about buying one. of course, screw it into the back and not the front since you're most likely to go straight off

Then I'm assuming people with modded cars get accurate 0-60 times with a GPS?

accurate? depends on a lot of variables such as road condition, tires, and how fast you can shift. but it will probably be the most accurate you can get since it uses a GPS instead of the stock speedometer which calculates rotations of the wheels (that's how it measures speed I believe)

Except the ones that just flat out lie about your speed.

Maybe you did that. What we did was swap out the speedo gear in the side of the transmission for a gear with the correct ratio for whatever tires we were running.

Seems like I remember reading here that you can calibrate the speedo for tire size using Techstream, but now I can't seem to find that post.

Without the rear seats, you wouldn't be able to fold it down flat to transport things.

The fake side vents. Almost didn't buy the car because of these retarded pieces.

Then I caved in and got an exhaust with coffee can tips to match them.

The cars I had with big tires usually did not warrant the work nor cost of swapping out a speedo gear! I was quite able to do the math in my head and after about two days didn't even need to go that far. Of course had to tell anybody else that may drive the car what the real speed was.

I know the gap was too much lol i jusy felt it illustrated what i meant better

Analog speedo reflects rate of change better. Digital speedo reflects mostly just the current speed. The scaling of our analog speedo is too narrow to be very useful though.

Most useless "feature" in my book are the Primacy's that kinda feel like driving on hot Crisco (for more fun, right?). Toyota, please just make them optional and give us proper summer shoes.

or they could have done like Japan and give us a steelie package for the ones that change their wheels right after they get the car (like me, though I sold the stock tires and wheels for $500 so I can't complain)

Make sure you never hit the valet button in the trunk then, or you'll be SOL.

What's the favourite number of Germans?

9!

If you haven't had to get into the trunk through the backseat because that very thing has happened, you haven't owned the car for very long...
