Our only qualm was the lack of power. Drives great on a tight track but in real world driving going to need a little more power. I have an IS350 and friend has a 370Z so we are used having the power for merging and freeway driving here. The 2nd drivethrough we turned on the AC cuz it was so damn hot. Obviously the engine response was a lot weaker with the A/C one, but we were burning up.

the rep said the only thing different was the enkei wheels and yokohama S Drive tires since Enkei and Yoko are promotional partners for the driving event. Its not lowered thats stock height. All the cars there had the enkei/yokos on so I didnt get to drive one with the stock prius tires. The rear tire was 225 also, stock is 215 but they were still 17". Obviously if someone purchased the car and wanted to mod the first thing you would do is chuck the stock tires.

So did you get to drive the one with the new tires/wheels or just stock?

btw - u said: "Me and my friends tried out the backseat, its a bit tight but surprising for a car this size." Sorry, but I have to disagree and say the backseats are a joke and can't even fit in even kids. When I looked at the car about a month ago, i noticed that in my regular driving position, there was hardly any room at all to put your foot down in the rear:

had a 5'8" guy sit in the back with a 5'7" guy sitting in the front to test fit. Front guy kinda complained about the space his knees were close to the dash. Its doable. The picture in post 2569 is if someone 6 foot is sitting up front. It was like that when I sat in the one in the pictures but I had to move the seat up. Lets just say its still surprising that you can fit an average person in the back

Maybe I logged onto Beancounters.com but who gives a **** about how much rear room it has? At least it has 4 seats if you actually need them. I'm 6" 5 and fit fine in the front. You know whats funny, even a big coupe like a 6 series has terrible rear seat room.
Its like complaining that a LandCruiser sits to high off the pavement.
