My friend's auto, and I can't stress enough that his auto is my main comparison to my manual GT so it's not really a fair comparison, feels like it would be miles behind my GT on an uphill climb. Would it actually be behind? I can't say. it just feels like it would be.

Styling was a big part of why I stayed away, but the main reason was the overall feel of the car. Step on the gas from a stop and you wonder where the power is. They have no power from a launch at all. After the lift kicks in, it's a lively car, but nobody wants to constantly keep their motor at 6,000 rpm. I wanted a car with power at any rev.

Value for the money, the 7th gen is a great car. Just underpowered and if I'm honest, I can't stand the looks at all. But it has legendary Toyota reliability, over 30 mpg, plenty of fun if you keep it revved up, relatively cheap to buy and insure, as practical as any car with 2 doors can be, and a lot of people love the styling. You might contact bitter. He has one.
