I just think at a certain point if Toyota gets these cars running without a CEL, even if it doesn't run perfect then that's as good as it's going to get. We're going to have to live with idle dip and rough idle at times.

Thoughts?

Somebody else was saying that Subaru engines do idle rough so yeah, if your car idles without stalling and without throwing codes, it sounds like that's about the best you can expect. Do keep in mind that a phenomenal little sports car at this price point will for sure involve some compromises.
