It looks like your head would be shoved forward when wearing a helmet by the SUV sized headrests.

And yeah, the bleedin' bloody Brit was too much Limey for me. I was waiting for him to say "jolly good" but couldn't take more than a minute of his chuffed attitude.

ugh. if i wanted a BMW I would buy a BMW, not from Toyota.

Trunk space looks like it's less than an mx5. definitely can't fit a set of track day wheels in there.

He looked more confused, like, it doesn't look that old . . .
