Based on this car being a Scion and having some good standard performance gear, it's expected for stuff like this to be absent. I have lived with and without this feature, no biggie.

NOHOME I'm still waiting for a you to add a positive or enthusiastic post to this forum. Maybe in the summer!

Then you need to read more carefully. I bought this car because I wanted a light-weight RWD car that was tuned to handle going aorund corners.

While I don't see me joining the fanboy club for the Twins, I have posted several times that the Twins hit the handling target dead center.

Also, the car does not look too bad from the rear view. Theres two things.

But really, thats about it, far as I can tell. What am I missing?

OK, you said something positive. I am wrong. Carry on...

That sucks...hmm...oh oh, remember to write that one down for next time!

-Check washer fluid before trip.

It could, no joke, save your life! :-|

When my washer fluid gets low I usually refill it. Then it's not low anymore.

Stupid road salt has me using it constantly.

As for warning, the cleaning performance on the passenger side will fall off first. Of it isn't cleaning as well overe there, look to refill! That's what I observed anyway.

Ive been wondering about this, my last car would not take a whole bottle I always ended up wasting some.

Washer fluid lights are a thing?

[Vracer111]

I've yet to refill the wiper fluid and I've had the car for 8 months...probably just about due for refill though.

A wiper fluid light is just a superfluous thing really and I've never had a vehicle with this feature (Toyota, Subaru, Honda/Acura). If it's going to be important for a specific trip I'd just make sure to check it and fill it if needed ahead of time before setting off... otherwise daily driving where I'm at it doesn't really matter if you run out of fluid.

Works for me - even when I'm not in a car.

Mine was EMPTY (It would spray maybe 2" up the windshield). I spilled maybe 1/4 cup worth, but it took every last drop otherwise.

brilliant!

[EBMCS03]

This car lacks a lot of sensors. Maybe a good thing.

It doesn't have sensors for headlights, license plate lights, reverse lights,
Won't shut off the headlights when I shut off the car to prevent battery drain... What else does it not do? It's a really really basic car. I'm surprised it doesn't even have the range to say when I'm going to run out of gas. Even the corolla has that.

It's fine tho. They had to save money somewhere.

I dunno how you get away with that in Houston. The roads are so grimy and the air is dusty. I've filled mine twice now since May.
