Just picked up my 2018 iA with manual transmission on Friday, after turning in a VW TDI under the dieselgate scandal.
The couple of mechanics I know swear that Toyotas are just the best cars being made today, by a good margin. The TDI settlement covered about two thirds of the iA cost -- not bad for a nine year old vehicle -- but dropping money on a new car was not in my financial plans for a couple more years, so that limited my budget. I also insist on manual transmission -- I like to drive, not just steer -- so that further narrowed choices.
After some Keystone Cop-ish antics at the dealership, I'm pretty pleased with the car. Looking into modding the display, so if you have any helpful comments on that, I'm all ears.
