3. switches between sounding like a diesel to a normal gas engine at idle
4. sometimes DI (?) clatters
5. not very smooth when accelerating


Also, It uses more oil (2/3 qt per 4k miles) than even my 140,000mile Yaris did. And lately, it's been backfiring as well, under certain throttle conditions.


Like someone early on in the thread said, I wish they had just thrown in a Toyota engine for the Scion version; a 3SGE would have been nice. They made a similar 200hp in the first gen Altezza RS200.
