I just hate cloth seats. Something about the way they grip clothing makes it nearly impossible for me to get comfortable. The current plan is reupholster the interior with leather while the car is in storage for the winter.

^ just get yourself two bucket seats. Save the stock ones for when you sell.

And I hate leather for the opposite reason. Our Suburban and Mustang both have leather. I always feel like I'm sliding out of the seat, and they are not comfortable.

I would never buy my own personal DD with leather unless there was absolutely no other choice.

That GODDAMNEDBLOODYSONOFABITCHMOTHERFING flat section on the top of the back bumper. It gets no airflow and every single spec of dust, dirty water or debris that get's kicked up while driving just settles in and make's itself at home. The rest of the car can be spotless but the top of the back bumper looks like I just finished the Baja 1000!

Trade U one dusty rear for a buggy front end…

Drill some vent holes through the bumper. Or put a lip on the bumper, you could be a trend-setter.

Oh I get those as well but they are to be expected whereas that stupid flat shelf on the bumper is just silly.

They just needed to incline it a few degrees so stuff falls off!

I didn't want leather seats either.

If you don't like the flat rear bumper, just let humfrz back it up. Presto, no flat back bumper.

As people can probably guess I research the shit out of things before I buy and one of the places I check for cars is always https://www.carcomplaints.com/Toyota/86/2017/
So, before I sprang for the 2020 I figured I would check it out on the site even though I was pretty comfortable that I was aware of any issues.
As usual the complaints did not disappoint!
There was one complaint of "weak valve springs" which was news to me but the other two listed were hilarious.
It was the same person with the same issue posted in two categories.


We think people complaining here are odd?

As my son was driving from davenport on I-4 to connect with I-75 on his way to naples, on Thursday January 10, 2019 around 10:50 am, he suddenly encountered a large metal object on the road. He had no opportunity to to move over as there where many other vehicles on the road and he had no other alternative but to drive over it causing multiple damages to the vehicle. The impact caused my son to experience chest pain and his fiancee suffered a panic attack. When they stopped on the side of the highway, it was hectic and they decided to drive to a safe location. They were able to drive to the nearest exit and decided to go to the hospital but on the way to the hospital they changed their minds and stopped at the Toyota dealership in order to check if any liquids where leaking or any engine damage had been caused. At the dealership the technician indicated that there was no damage to the engine. After that, they thought they only had temporary attacks and returned to the house to rest and proceeded to cancel all appointments for the day. This happened right past the auburndale exit. My son is 45 years old and was riding the car with his fiancee who was going to a mediation as she is a mediator for the department of financial services. We have additional pictures in the event that more are required to show the damages as there are only 5 slots for documentation on this form. - Davenport, FL, USA

I think a pack of smokes will fit in the cubby.

Nope.
Great place for swipe cards though.
