Yep! The frequency of the famous "this is how it should have come from the factory" line never ceases to amaze me.

Sar came through for me and fulfilled my subtle request. I an used to his stalking and actually start to worry when he doesn't show up.
And actually if 2much is complaining about Sar's complaining about our complaining about the complaining we are well on our way!

2 months and 5500 miles i finally feel ive unfolded enough to gripe about.

1. the heated seats are great...when they are hot. the hot for 10 seconds, followed by 10 minutes of nothing, then repeat.... is pretty ridiculous. constantly having to turn them on and off to keep them warm.

2. several rattles in the doors, both sides.

3. road-noise/blutooth: road noise can be loud enough to basically render the BT useless.

4. with the smart key, i cant start the car in the morning to burn the frost off AND have it locked.


all things considered, it is a riot when i want it to be. i average 32mpgs with the 6spd, and its a beautiful car. I really enjoy it.

I'm sick and tired of all the complaining about the complaints against all the complainers.

You missed a level! We are currently recruiting level 5 complainers to complain about the complainers against the complaints about the complainers that complained about the complaints of the complainers original complaints.

So all we need now is one of the original complainers complaining about the complainers complaining about the complaints against the complaints of the complaining complainers.
Then the circle will be complete and this thread will disappear.

Haha that assumes people actually read reviews and research before buying. I would guess a good number of people bought these cars as impulse purchases, with maybe a 15 minute test-drive.

All I'm saying is people probably know "wrangler = rough" or "elise = unrefined sports car", but I don't think there's common knowledge about what Toyobarus are like because they never existed before now
