1) no light under the hood.
2) No light in the trunk area
3) This should be my number 1. Lack of horsies. Its frustrating and agravating.

The carolla has 40mpg, but can pass on the freeway, or merge for crying out loud.

Default What I dont like about the box

Well the local dealer let me have the box for a whole weekend, brand new with one mile on it, after 105 miles I only averaged 27.4 mpg, which I was being very conservative, so I found this disappointing as it was much lower then EPA. But I love the vehicle, I thought the handling was good, occasional bumps that sent a loud noise through the frame. Hated the radio until I realized I had to crank the volume slow for it to change quickly, was cranking the volume like 15 times to turn the volume down. biggest complaint was there is no way to turn the interior light on while driving, you have to recline your seat back and reach for the dome light, it is not in reach from a normal driving position, and the swicth on the dashboard that normally turns the light on odesnt have that feature. So your in the dark all the time. should have map lights, maybe you can get that on a rear view mirror upgrade? cabin space is great had three people in the car they had no problems with crossing there legs in the back, they didnt car for the style, but was impressed with the interior. easily move between passenger and driver seat.

For a map light I picked up an led headlamp and velcroed it right where I want it. It works great and I am going to put one at the rear door too.

Make one. There are atleast 2 sets of plans here on SL. I made mine and no one knows it's not factory. Plus I can store plenty of stuff.

•Longer 5th gear on the manual. Or overdrive, or however you want to fix that RPM @ 80mph issue.

•Light over cargo area

• backseats should lean back another degree or 2 for comfort, or be adjustable.
