hey guys stop being fanboys, customer reports is right on most of its claims.. this car has more rattles than a 98 hyundai. the radio sucks (2013 bespoke is pretty much useless unless you have an iphone 4s. c'mon toyota!) and speakers rattle . the chriping/crickets on the engine while harmless make a new car look pretty bad! the engine RPM dips while using AC. amm i can go on and on.
keep in mind that as of this date neither toyota or subaru have working fixes for any of this stuff besides the taillights. that is pretty bad for a company as big as toyota/subaru
now i know this is the first year of a completely new car so stuff like this is expected but
is customer reports somwehat right? yes. do i care what customer reports says? no do i still love this car despite its shortcomings? yep!
