    Haven't the June and July 2009 purchasers done very well with theirs? As I recall, HTMLspinner got the first gen3 sold in his area.
    I think Toyota is working out the VAST majority of the bugs now.

    And the rumor about 'the first year model is a crap shoot, the second year is good' is overrated. The mid-cycle refresh, now that is a good way to go (2012 liftback)

    intestingly, those who waited for the gen III got great deals because of the economy. the 2010's sat on the lot forever and sold at tremendous discounts to those who waited. the only downside was the 12 volt battery life.

    you're correct, the biggest defect on the '10's seems to be rattles which carried forward but at a lesser rate.
