I drive 140 miles round trip to work each day and have been doing that since June. I now have ~14K on the car and still like it because I recognized what I was buying and the potential compromises. EVERY car, regardless of price, is a compromise in some way.
I think the article is accurate. Especially regarding the infuriating head unit and the bluetooth that doesn't work properly (at least for me)
It is clear that Toyobaru's focus was on handling dynamics and all of that...creature comforts came in as a far second place and it shows.
Hopefully now they will focus on a better interior ergonomic experience (read: better head unit, better console, improved aesthetics).
I love this car even with its shortcomings and cant imagine another I would pick to replace it.
