Can't wait to see your in-depth preview/review of your drive and the car.

It's going to be tough to sleep soundly tonight knowing there will be fresh news of the car to read.

Thanks so much!

did your knee rub the steering wheel while driving the car or just when the brake pedal firmed up when the car is parked and turned off??

Love the pictures! Very nice of Scion to show you the car ahead of time to make sure it fits you.

So the drift FRS is buttoned up already? That's rad. Edit: I guess, with the Long Beach event almost upon us, I shouldn't be surprised. Duh.

Good info you posted. Glad people are actually experiencing driving it.

If it is not too much to ask, could you give a short review on how the steering weight and feedback is compared to the mini cooper s and 328i?

I've had a chance to drive a R56 Cooper S and a E92 335i, I was very impressed with how the steering on those cars were like.
Thanks

Man I hope the steering isn't light feeling. I hope it feels hefty with turn in.
