Re: New Old Guy 2016 EXT Sedan

Thanks. I must admit as I read on these forums I'm beginning g to wonder if I made the right choice. Although the majority of the complains seem to be info system electronics and software.

That seems inevitable given the rush to get new stuff to market and constantly changing and updating stuff (phones), and I think most manufacturers products suffer similar complaints to some extent.

Driver distraction techy gizmo systems aside, I think the rest of the car is pretty decent. I'm waiting for the new hatchbacks to show up.

Welcome!

Problems always look worse on forums because people don't usually join to say "hey the car is great". The 2016's look like a great car so I don't think you will have any issues.

So far so good. Im loving the gas mileage coming off a Tacoma. The radio does occasionally seem to have a mind of its own.

Works good so far. No complaints ... a little lag if I hit it harder that "normal" but so far so good after around 1200 miles.

An intake and exhaust mod would make your turbo boost noticeable better. Tried to view your avitar image the red color really stands out. You should post some pics.
