Here's what I hate...
They bring over a GT86 RC version from japan and slap 17 inch wheels with a scion logo -- minus out all the good features and then they call it a day. Good job TOYOTA marketing team!

Okay, so no disrespect just making a point...
No disrespect taken. I wouldn't call it being a crybaby since we are listing things we wish were different. You don't have to agree, But this feature like many other features we (You included) become accustomed to are very handy. I find it very handy, but if you look at my list, almost every issue I think could be improved are very small.

I'm sure every feature added since the model T have had people say this extra stuff was just fluff and not needed. Auto down windows are handy, not needed. Easy to use Vent controls are handy, not needed. This could be a long list.

I think the car is great. But I prefer to have the car locked for the protection of me an my passengers, and it is just easier to have it auto lock and then unlock simply by pulling the door handle.

I am a big fan of features that are useful without adding weight. Auto open weight increase would be TINY.

I hate the giant ugly key for my scion. I used to drive VWs vw keys are so awesome, I love the flip, even the old ones were cool small round with the vw symbol cut out. Do they make after market keys?

+1 and you also lose 2-3 inches of head room.

I am down to 180,,, still 10-20 more and should be snug. Then I will pull off those little tags that say load capacity reduced....
