I super hate the cupholder placement! I was reaching back for my 32 oz drink and my elbow caught the drink and knocked it over into the back seat area. Luckily for me, 99% of the drink was finished and it was mostly ice left so cleanup wasn't so bad. However, the situation could have been worse. I will not put my drink there again!

^Tons of cars have it on the passenger side.

The only thing I don't like on the entire car are the scion badges, and honestly they aren't that big of a deal. Car is great so far for me.

Quite the contrary, all of the other cars you've owned had the gas door on the wrong side

I hate that it has a release for the gas door. None of my previous vehicles had this so I keep forgetting and end up having to walk back around the car to open it.
So I guess ultimately I also hate that the gas door is on the passenger side because of this, lol.

I truly do not know how I forgot my real gripe.......the lack of adjustable shoulder seat belt height. Cuts into my neck and can not lower the thing. I need it dropped 2inches. I am 5'6" and it just rubs.

Yeah, but driving an hour through heavy traffic after-work to the Scion dealership, waiting at the dealership for an hour or two, and essentially wasting my time isn't the funnest thing for me.

I definitely didn't think this type of issue would occur with a new car that I spent ~$28K on - really disappointed in their quality control. They shouldn't be shipping new cars that have flaws in them - plain and simple. My door is already rattling a ton and then this issue occurs. It makes you wonder what types of issues will occur at 50,000 miles and so forth.

This is what you go through to be first. Most 1st year models have issues. There is no way for them to find these things out unless the cars are in regular use for extended periods of time. They drive the test mules, give out demos etc but nothing will bring out the problems like regular use.

The cam thing is annoying though with many of the cars getting the issue very fast. This is something you would think would have been caught in the test and demo cars.

Not an owner, but just test drove the auto and manual.

The answer is easy, the clutch. Holy crap I thought it was bad. It's too short, too light, and totally numb.
