| What things have gone wrong with the car? | Even in cyberspace there isn't enough room to list everything. Let's start at the front. There is no control of the lights, so if you get home late consider lazer beaming your neighbors when you pull in the drive. The alarm system uses an irritating "beeping" sound to let you, and your neighbors, know that you are unlocking or locking the car. AND forget opening the hatch while the alarm is on EVEN if you use the key. That just sets it off. There are 100 ways to program this alarm system, but not one to silence it. I asked the dealership to remove it. They would for $700. The seats are not made for humans. There is no back support and if you drive as much as I do, the seats bottom out. Essentially there are two adjustments. Forward and back. And the lean of the seat. No suport adjustments at all. Now for the BEST part. The interior is all plastic. What car isn't, right? Well anything that touches it scratches it. finger nails, shoes, and even the seatbelt buckles. I had new door panels installed in the first month. This is REALLY cheap plastic!! I thought Toyota would know better, but that's why the price was reduced. This car came with a mirror that automatically adjusted at night. It didn't work due to the fact that the spoiler blocks the lights of the cars behind you and there is no way to bypass it. The Dealership wanted to charge me to remove it and for a new mirror.(Over $200) After remiding them that I didn't order this item and writing to Toyota directly they agreed to remove it. Everything about this vehicle is cheap. It has no vanity mirror lights, no map lights and the rear seats are cheap looking in comparison to the front interior. My interior is black. The rear seats are gray. | |
| General comments? | This is a great looking piece of garbage. Toyota should look into a drug testing program. The fact that this car got past the design stage without anyone saying anything says a lot about Toyota. This car has too many design flaws to list and would take incredible stupidity by management to let it come to fruition. I tried to return the car after the first 500 miles and was offerd a trade in value of $16,000 by the dealership where I bought it! My Dealership, Gettel Toyota of Bradenton, didn't help the situation any either. After they found I was dissatisfied they cut off all contact with me. I feel sorry for anyone that owns one of these cars. Most recent trade in offer was $13,000. That's a $8,000 loss in the space of one year. Time to rate is below! Darn! They don't have negative numbers! | |
| Previous car | For the money, you could buy a LOT more car. I owned a 1996 Eclipse. This car isn't anywhere near it in comfort nor does it have any of the necessities for driving. | |
