    Okay - the street lamp pic and these two:D - Toyota should buy these from you and use it for advertising. Much better than some of the silly pictures they use.

    Are you a professional or semi-professional photographer?

    PS: Still sulking about all the features you have that we can't even get as options.:confused:

    Awesome pics man.
    As for the different options, if I had to trade I wouldn't, I'll keep my heated seats and mirrors thank you very much. Do wish that spoiler was available.

    I couldn't agree more! That was my very first thought. Sexy, mysterious, well placed objects in the shot - the works.

    Base model here is cloth seats and my i-Tech has the Softex seats. While I prefer the darker colour scheme offered, the Softex is far and away my least favourite feature of the car. I never found cloth seats that hard to care for and I find them more comfortable.

    Funny, I have never had leather seats, as the leather is cold in the winter and hot in the summer, but love the feel of the softex. Everyone is different I guess.

    I grew up with vinyl in cars without aircon. In Australia. Not fun.

    In my driving years I've generally had cloth seats, though early on Dad had a phase where people at work convinced him to get a Volvo 760 when he retired, which had leather seats. Was not a fan of those either, but at least it had aircon. Dad has since returned to Toyotas. :)

    The Softex is undoubtedly better than either vinyl or leather, but I'd have rathered the cloth.

    Okay I thought I had seen EVERY c review on YouTube, but somehow missed this one, which features a c i-tech model in Tidal Blue (that's Blue Streak Metallic in your parlance) being driven around various parts of Sydney. I'm kind of glad my dealer apparently forgot to affix the warning message about reading the manual before texting through the audio system. ;)

    Our 2005 came with a warning to only insert one disc at a time into the CD changer slot lol.

    Toyota Australia have finally put a c video on their website and on YouTube, but sadly it's... pretty flat and dull. :sleep:

    I just picked up my Standard Prius C..I the reverse camera of any use, I mean it makes rear judgement harder! Mine doesn't have alloy rims, no GPS or LED light, nor the leather seats...it's still pretty spiffy, I add pics tomorrow!

    Hmmm, I love the camera - I'd find rear vision inadequate without it.

    I wish the reverse camera came with guiding lines. I find that if I refer to the reverse camera exclusively, I'm too near the car on the driver's side.

    Agreed about the lines - and the nearest equivalent Fujitsu TEN Eclipse model does it, so it's frustrating to find it missing in the Toyota AVN OEM version. This said I still rely on my side mirrors for lateral placement, but there are situations - like my space at home - where there's very little I can use as reference in their field of vision.

    Makes one wonder if there's firmware available to upgrade them like what VW does on their RNS navi

    The 6.1" Display Audio unit is a Harmon Kardon system. Toyota only puts lines on their 7" HDD nav (my DVD-based nav doesn't have it either) made by Denso.

    Incredible pictures. You have a great eye and great composition. I too am jealous of some of your frills.

    Not here... ours is made by Fujitsu TEN. It's a customisation for Toyota Australia (which Toyota calls the Toyota Entertainment Communications Hub or T.E.C.H) and while physically fairly different (including the 6.1" screen instead of 7" and not having a DVD player), the system itself shares a lot of similarity with the Fujitsu TEN Eclipse AVN827GA. My dealer didn't have the manual for me when I picked up the car (it and the service & warranty book and the spare key were all still with the dealer they sourced my c from), so I used the 827GA manual to get me going until the OEM one arrived.

    AVN827GA | Navigation | Products | ECLIPSE | Fujitsu Ten

    Toyota's information is flimsy... it's a little more talkative on the Yaris page:

    Toyota Yaris features hatch audio system

    Than on the c's page:
