At show. Talked guy into sitting in it. NO backseat leg room. Boxer sits LOW. Guy says 25k. I was some what disappointed after sitting in it. Interior feels extremely loose and cheap.

No FRS there right goldenFri?

I didn't bother messing with the paddles because I plan to get a manual.

You are correct, no FR-S.

Imagine.... the Premium interior is even worst.... lol hope this won be too big of a deal breaker for anyone here. It's just spartan like an S2k

Won't be a problem for me. I come from living with a hard plastic MR-S interior that I swear was designed and built by Playskool.

Yeah lol I feel ya I'm pretty used to livable interiors, I'm not expecting a LEXUS out of these two cars.

Too bad the one in DC is an automatic. I wanted to try the shift feel...

Tbxgz · 01-28-2012, 03:21 PM

Here are some pics I took

When I say no rear leg room. I mean NO REAR LEG ROOM.

Looks like my CR-Z which is exactly why they swapped out the seats with a storage tray on the USDM version. I must say though given the choice I would rather have the seats then something that looks like it should be a seat.

Was that a 6AT or 6MT that you sat in? If if was the 6MT, how did the shift action feel?

to me judging by the top of the shift lever it looks like the 6AT

Tbxgz · 01-28-2012, 03:37 PM

Yes it was the auto. Paddles felt smooth

Zgrinch · 01-28-2012, 03:39 PM

No leg room....

We're the seats all the way back or all the way forward?

Tbxgz · 01-28-2012, 03:42 PM

Had 17 inch tires, sub rep said prob will be sold with the prius tires. first thing i noticed when looking at the rear was the exhaust tips. They really jump out at u.. in a good way.
Also the seats feel amazing; really grip you.

obviously this car should be bought for the ride, but the idle car feel is cheap. sitting in it, you just dont get the impression that its a 25k car.
