>Nice pickup. I like the retro-ness of the exterior, and I've heard that they handle like they're on rails. I hate the interior though, it looks like ToysRUs had sex in there.

very compact car with a wide stance.. it better handle like they're on rails -_-

interior on our cars isnt bad actually ive grown to love mine, and thats exactally how mine looked when i picked mine up, except mine is chili red with matching top pm me for a couple of good mini forums if ya like


this car does handle on rails, i keep up with the s2000's and turbo miata's through the twisties and for being a FWD platform, understeer isnt as bad as you think, it surprises me when i drive the gf's car (AWD audi TT) and hers gets more understeer than mine through a few corners

>yeah no offense but you obviously spend most the time inside your car, and that interior looks so uncomfortable. im really happy with my celica interior. audi are by far my favorite cars on the inside. i could live in one of those

I completely agree, Audi makes my favorite interiors by far. They're organized, yet there's nothing unnecessary...and the gauges are usually beautiful. The seats are hella comfortable as well. Although I wouldn't personally buy one, I do like my dad's A4. Black on tan interior, 6 speed 2.0T. The exact trim I'd take.

Those Audis are known to understeer though.

but being an AWD car compared to my fwd car? yes the audi is known for understeer, but my FWD car tends to snap oversteer more often than understeer. but it takes a lot for it to do that.

How are those decals applied? Are they removable (easily)? Or would it be a nightmare to get rid of them?

Not that I want to of course, I was just wondering.

It was a mix of wet and dry. The decals are on there good...not like they'll come off by themselves, but if you want them off, yes you can take them off. I made sure the paint was fully cured before I applied them.

On the right forum this would be taken in totally the wrong way.

@Castrol: Congrats on the new purchase and sorry to see you leave the Toyota family.

Here's a better shot from this morning:

They are . Actually, it's the other way around. It's the automatic transition R50s that are the issues most of the time .
