The stock wheels handsdown.

Nothing to hate yet but the following things annoy me:
No trunk release on the outside of the car.
Cell phone on passenger seat trips seatbelt sensor.
Car falls on it's face upper mid range rpm.
Rear tail lights look goofy.

Other than that I'm pretty happy!

It's on your key fob or there's a keyhole underneath I believe.

Keyhole near license plate light
Toyota Techstream setting shuts off sensor
FA20club header and a tune fixes that.
Tom's USDM Tail Lights are available

As a Plastic Surgeon once told me "Money fixes everything".

I wish the back seat were just a tad roomier. I sometimes have to drive the kids around, and when they get to be teenagers, it may not be big enough.

Wife says I may have to get rid of the car when they get that big (possibly just a few years away at this point! The oldest is 11).

I've done 8+ hour road trips with two adults in the back of my Tiburon with a bunch of luggage back there with them. Your kids'll be fine.

I meant where the jack stands should be placed under the car, but that looks like a pretty useful product

I get it in 1-3 off and on, it really depends. When I'm driving smooth I don't get it but as soon as I hit stop-and-go I get it a LOT.
It goes away if you just rev high but thats hard with cars in front of you.
It also makes a terrible (to me) sound when you are in second and rev really low.

I'll try new tranny oil, anyone have suggestions?

Crappy stock scion head unit. But they just upgraded the base scion head units to a new one with touch so I guess that won't be an issue with 2014 models. (Anyways I'm planning on installing an aftermarket head unit in mine anyways :P)

Muskokan · 09-06-2013, 01:05 PM

Terrible sounding transmission, for a brand new car it sure is embarrassing putting around a lot in 2nd. Anybody find a fix?

You and me both. It didn't do this for the first 1500 miles.

Someone did mention that it could be something around the heat shield rattling since apparently some resonator only has rubber mounts?

The factory service manual says 70W-85 or 70W-90, any idea which would would be a better weight?
