New PP owner here! Blizzard Pearl '22 Limited Prime.

Flew down to LA yesterday morning and got picked up at the airport by the dealership. After a couple of hours of negotiations and paperwork I drove the four hours home in the new car. It was a comfortable drive. More comfortable than the 2017 Sport Touring Civic Hatchback and 2021 Limited C-HR that came before. I was able to drive the whole way home without re-fueling or even stopping. Road noise was also less compared to the previous cars.

Couple of annoyances though

- The dealership tinted the windshield and two front windows (that's what I wanted) with Llumar Air 80. It all looked good when I left, but this morning when getting into the car to drive to work, I noticed a bubble in the tint kind of poking out from the edge of the dot matrix area near the rear-view mirror. Don't know how to fix that.

- When I turn the bass up, I do hear some rattling or rapid clicking somewhere in the cabin and I cannot pinpoint it.

- I don't see a lock / unlock option in the Toyota app.. I only see things related to pre-heating and cooling and things about the battery state and charging status.

- I understand that Apple CarPlay needs to adhere to strict specs. set by Apple. I'm a bit disappointed though that on the large infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay overall is actually smaller than in my C-HR's 8" infotainment screen. Same for the backup camera.

 

Yup. Autonation Toyota Irvine. My salesman was Faisal. Very cool dude. Helpful and patient.

 

The markup was $1995. That $1995 charge wasn't just a markup though; it came with a bunch of things I didn't really need and weren't close to being worth $1995:

- Two portable folding chairs
- Grill set
- Mini fridge


I was fine with the markup since dealers in my city are charging 4K to 10K for Priuses and hybrid RAV4s which I was also looking at.
