My biggest beef is that they increased the HP and cut down on the gas mileage. They also shrank the headroom slightly, did some other cosmetic stuff. But the larger engine and decrease in fuel economy were why I won’t give it a look. I’ll buy a used pre-’08 , though. Great car. Good fuel efficiency and loads of room.
I believe they were trying to appeal to the Scion's customer base. It seems to be the choice car for tuners these days.
