I'm in the same boat as you JrScionTc. I am going ot learn to wait as well, but yes definitely read the posts, and do a test drive. I have always said to do a test drive before you get a car. Why not, test driving a car for free is smart! Anywyas, sure you know, but yeah, look through the forum.

neither have I (no probs)

and I waited exactly 3 weeks after the dealer put the order in [went to dealership on tuesday, he put the order in the following monday (yeah.... wtf)] because I had some questions on options I had to talk to a guy in parts about... but what's that got to do with ordering it?

anyways, dealer quoted me at 6-8 weeks, called me in literally 3 weeks after he put the order in telling me it's there, with all the pre-ordered options installed at Port (went there the same day to verify it, and yup)

again, no problems yet and loving it

Pros: great value/deal for the price, best key fob ever made - besides being water proof, it works from like half a block away, its a great looking car, it's a toyota

Cons: too many problems as stated above - it's a first year production car, body panels seems to be very thin - i noticed this when i washed and waxed my car, they seemed to give a little too easily, road noise road noise - from thin body panels
