Buncha bitchin bitches!

Hmm...

-Very odd OEM tire size. But luckily lots of other sizes work.

-Touchscreen audio doesn't have true random playback. If you hit next, it chooses the next song alphabetically based on file name. the entire song has to play before it does a random pick. Luckily I can just hook up an mp3 player, but I do like the display.

-Really short 6th gear. When I drive for fuel economy, I can be in 6th as early as 35 mph. In my corolla, 35 mph is a bit slow for even 5th gear. But I still get 400 miles on a tank with 1.5-2 gallons left, so that's good. Edit: If I owned the car, I'd look and do research into possibly getting a taller 6th gear. I owned a saturn SL2 once, and people swapped a taller 5th gear from the SL1 into the SL2. Result? Much smoother highway cruiser, and improvements (at least 2-3) in gas mileage. Up hill acceleration took a hit, but the car couldn't accelerate up hill in 5th anyway. Would love to try that with this.

Luckily the things I hate are really small stuff. I'm really glad they gave this car 200 hp instead of 250. Paying for premium is annoying, and then on top of that I get weak gas mileage? No thank you. I probably would've been happy with even 180 hp. I got this car as a fun, decently fuel efficient way to drive sideways. Not to burn oil powering my way through a straight line

I would rather have a button on the handle where I press once to unlock driver door, twice to unlock all doors, and one more time to lock all doors.

But HOW CAN THEY INCLUDE THIS HANDLE AND NOT AN AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK!?

Either you or the dealer should be able to change this setting, so that both doors unlock when you hit the sensor. Look into the manual near the end, there's a section with settings that you or the dealer can change.

Man, sounds like you need to be driving a Pius (uh, I mean Prius).

I didn't read through all of the previous posts. I love this car. The only thing that bugs me is the very faint beep when I use the remote door lock to find the car. It's just too quiet.

I concur. I started getting taillight condensation after the first 1,000 miles.

I wish the car was a two-seater.

You can raise the volume via techstream. I adjusted mine and it's much better..!
It's just above halfway volume via the stock setting..

Haha you know if they made a RWD Prius, I'd have strongly considered it.

I would check on the effects on the transmission at that low speed and high gear.

I want to know more about this "techstream". How would one go about getting it/adjusting it?

Your local dealer can make the adjustment with techstream free of charge. I had a few other things adjusted as well.
