WOW, 22 views, and not a single post? People on this forum suck....

I'll fill it out for you:

1. 8
2. SSM
3. manual
4. wheel locks, window tint, lip spoiler.
5. $18,100.00 out the door, with $2,000 down.
6. One touch up/down windows, ability to close all widows after key is out of ignition.
7. A 2nd sun roof that can't open up? Why does Scion taunt us?
8. same as above
9. ....
10. Sixth speed, or HID's. That 2nd sun roof would be nice too.
11. The price for the car that you get.
12. Basic things that should come standard, but don't when they do in less cool cars.
13. 23-30
14. I'm satisfied with the manual, although if the console was a bit higher, and it was a short throw, it would be better.
15. Hell no.
16. It picks up nicely, and pulls great in fifth, but a little more horse power wouldn't hurt. Say 200 to start?
17. Definitely

Just got mine about 2 weeks ago.

1. Rating out of 10 - 8.5/10
2. Color - Absolutely Red
3. Transmission - 5-speed Manual
4. Options - tC Release Series 1.0 package + pedestal spoiler (on order)
5. Price - 18,300$ list, ~21k out the door (with TTL, warranty and spoiler)
6. Best Feature(s) - Good looking, good gas mileage, plenty of room for 4 to 5 average people
7. Worst Feature(s) - Could use more power
8. Coolest part - All the neat gimmickry
9. Dumbest part - 65 levels of volume on the CD deck
10. What would you like standard - It's fine as is.
11. What do you like about it - It's peppy, looks good, gets good gas mileage, can actually fit people in the back seats (compared to my old 98 eclipse), shifter is smooth, power is decently good for the price
12 .What you hate about it - the leather(?) sunroof cover thing flaps around when the roof is only tilted open. Also, it was a PITA finding a red one. Only one dealership within a 25-mile radius was helpful and nice enough to find one for us. Most dealers treated us like crap too. Mossy Toyota/Scion in Pacific Beach treated us best and found us a car in less than a day.
13.Mpg you get - Only filled up one tank so far. I calculated ~25mpg.
14. What do you think about the transmission you bought - Clutch grabs a little high, compared to my old eagle talon.. but the shifter is very smooth and has short throws. Would be nice with a sixth gear.
15. Do you wish you bought the other transmission? - Never.
16. What you think of the speed - It's no turbo eclipse, but it certainly is quick enough to be fun.
17. Would you recommend it as a first car? - This comes down to personal philosophy, as I would normally recommend an older used car as a first car. But if one can afford it, this car seems to fit all the needs of a first car. Safe, practical, good gas mileage, quick, fun to drive, and relatively cheap.

1.Rating out of 10: 8
2. Color: BSP
3. Transmission: Manual
4. Options: TRD Exhaust, and Floor Mats, added the Sway Bar afterwords...
5. Price: Don't remember 19 - 20k with tt&l...
6. Best Feature: Its new! And I get complimented a lot..hehe
7. Worst Fearture: My seats were stained by rain, the hatch rattles, and the sunroof makes a wierd glass hitting metal noise. Technically I guess a feature would be something I don't like about the car...the ability to only have power options...I like manual stuff...window cranks..etc....so much weight could be kept down with the removal of some power crap. Not to mention the volume is a button, thats annoying...shoulda been a ****
8. Coolest part: So far, I love the TRD Exhaust, it just sounds so damn nice.
9. Dumbest part: Luckily nothing dumb on my car as of yet...but I would say the Carbon Fiber stickies that go on the door, I don't have them but they look tacky.
10. What you would like standard: 6 Speed, and all wheel drive.
11. What you like about it: Its reliable, its toyota, its the first of its kind.
12 .What you hate about it: All the random crap that I said in features...
13.Mpg you get: Well total I usually get 320 - 340 out of a tank. But this varies, if I drive like an _______, it goes down to 260 - 280 area...
14. What do you think about the transmission you bought: Seems reliable so far....we shall see as time goes on.
15. Do you wish you bought the other transmission? Hell no, auto sucks...I'll drive an auto when I'm old and don't feel like having fun anymore...
16. What you think of the speed: Decent, its a quick little car.
17. Would you reccomend it as a first car? Yes.

1. Rating: 8-9
2. Color: Nautical Blue
3. Transmition: Manual (of course)
4. Options: iPod stereo, lip kit, fog lights (adding window tint, lip spoiler & other goodies aftermarket)
5. Price: $18k & change
6. Best Feature: Overall style, uniqueness (in my area), sunroof
7. Worst Fearture: guage illumination color
8. Coolest part: sunroof
9. Dumbest part: Nothing comes to mind
10. What you would like standard: nothing - options keep the price down
11. What you like about it: comfortable, looks good, reliable (predicted)
12 .What you hate about it: chipping paint, stereo "door"
13.Mpg you get: 29ish (only been through 1 tank, but I drive 98% highway)
14. What do you think about the transmittion you bought: Manual is the only way to go
15. Do you wish you bought the other transmittion? Hell no. Not a chance.
16. What you think of the speed. It goes 80 on the freeway, and gets there quickly. That's all I ask.
17. Would you reccomend it as a first car?
As a very first car- no. First cars should be broken in, and have some miles. First cars will get banged up at least a little, so there is little point in getting something brand new from day 1. Drive something used for a couple years.
As a first manual transmition car- no. As much as I love mine, and as smooth as the shifting is, I have to say my old Civic (as was my sister's old one and her new one) was smoother and much easier to drive, and took significantly less effort to run through the gears.

<blasphemy>I highly reccomend Civics as first cars, especially if you can grab one that's a couple years old. They're lightweight, not too powerful, inexpensive, and easy to drive. After the new driver has a couple of years experience behind the wheel, step up to something nicer... </blasphemy>

ah, i forgot about that... that is a bit of a hastle. it would have been best as one touch vent, one touch all the way back, and hold to close/release and it stops where it is. thats how my eclipse was. no major complaint, just a little annoying.
