I have an '06 and I'm pretty sure I've been able to release both seats and return the seat back to its last position if I move the seat back quickly enough.

See for me.. the tC fills in what my WRX does not have and what I wished it had.. Shrug... but if I must state the things I wish the tC had...
heated rear view mirrors
rear windshield wiper,
completed 3rd taillight leds
foldable rearview mirrors
lighted visor mirrors (im actually not sure on this one, they might already be lit)
oem projector headlights
..im sure I could think of more soon.

I'm very unhappy with my purchase, I should of gotten my second car choice. Paying 22K dollars for all this crap isn't worth it to me. I can't even drown out my rattles with my stereo anymore. They seem to get louder every day. Dealerships can't find the problem, and I've done every DIY in here. Nothing works. Scion should have definitely improved everything year to year.
Yeah, I'm kinda mad at my car right now. lol.

The throttle lag is easy to fix. ClubScion has a very simple guide...costs a few bucks to fix it.

Don't know if anyone said it yet, but I absolutely hate that I have to move my body/head all over the place to make a safe left turn cause of the huge A-pillars.
And I also hate the...ummm...well, I guess there's nothing else I hate about it! Oh yeah, actually, the spare tire donut is one of the most retarded looking things in the world.
That's about it!

I do agree with you there Buster - Toyota should've included a full-size spare. I hate donuts (unless they're filled with jelly 
)

-Second of all, live where I live and drive in my neighborhood. Steep hills. If the road isn't salted in the winter - I'm stuck inside until it is, EVEN with 4wd. I'm sorry I don't live on a plateau like you do. That's why my A/C has to be off when I go up hills, etc, because it lags if it's on… More so than with other vehicles IMO.
-The E-brake... I have driven many automatics, none of which have drifted like the tC. Period. I suggest you should drive some other makes/models and you'll see what I mean, since you're so narrow-minded.
-Lastly, quit knocking my opinions of the tC. This thread does ask for opinions, you know.

haha, I wasn't talking about you..........
But it's all good. There could have been a bit more put into this car for more of a quality feature rather than a "bling" feature. IPOD radio........hmm, who cares if it's only going to put out 160w anyways. 9/10 people get aftermarket radios almost instantly after they get a new car. That could be around 300-500$ saved and possibly put into a clear coat or something.

First of all, I just responded WITHOUT any intentions of stirring things up. Now if you're on your rag, I understand.
As for the lock unlock, you DO need to press unlock TWICE on the keyless remote to unlock the passenger and the rear hatch. That's on ANY tC equiped with the stock remote, so I don't have a clue on what you're b1tching about.
As for your hill problem, I also drive by many hills, some very steep and thanks to the tC's LOW GEARS, I have never had any problems with it. Maybe you're a fat woman and weigh alot, you shouldn't blame that on your car. As for the icy road incident, your problem is with TRACTION, not power. I had a 60hp Subaru 4WD before and I had no problems going up a hill on 4WD. You obviously are doing something wrong.
I suggest you get educated about cars and physics. It's a fact that ALL automatics budge a little bit after you put it in park and release the brake.
I understand many women are ignorant about cars. But you're the stupidest idiot I've heard from who thinks that this is the car's problem.

As for the sub, I'm quite happy with the 6.5 35watt. I know it won't be heard 3 blocks away, but it's adequate for "normal" (not ear splitting) listening. I thought about adding a box with a 10in woofer but that would eat up half my trunk space. I really think that the RS2's sub placement is pretty smart.
Also, I thought about getting iPod connectivity with my previous Corolla, but those cables are expensive as hell. $150... hell no.

I would just take at least 1 clear coat over that IPOD capability. I have the stock stereo and it's nice enough to just listen to music. Like you, I really don't want my neighbors 3 blocks away to hear/feel my music. And, maybe instead of that 2nd moon roof, they could have taken that out (leaving the first one) but having it slide into the ceiling instead like Jettas have. Just seems like a better design option and cheaper so that you can just lay the tracks in the cutout of the body rather than having another huge piece of glass and more problems with structural integrity. I just thought they tried to add so many little things to the car that they skipped over some of the basics that you should have.
