    The wife and I purchased this car back in May 2013 and we absolutely love it. The mileage is great and there's plenty of room for a big guy like me weighing 235 lbs. at 6'4. After having the car for a few months, some minor things having to do with features are driving me crazy.

    1. No overlay information on LCD meaning no grid on reverse camera. No weather or traffic over lay on GPS even though our trial Satellite package supports it. I would much rather Toyota not give me hill start for overlay information.

    2. No DRL's. According to the dealership, Toyota didn't like how much drain they were putting on the battery. Not sure how that makes sense when the Five comes with DRL's. Does the Five have a different battery than the Three or the Two?

    3. Entune loves to have iPod/iPhone via USB interrupt all other inputs including reverse camera. Also, connecting Bluetooth devices to the unit is so utterly painful.

    4. Rear speakers suck.

    5. Depending on weather, brakes make a lot of nose upon driving in the morning.

    There are some others but these are the big ones for me. Otherwise the car is fantastic.

    Oh wow. I guess the catalog I read was not accurate at all. Thanks for the update.
