Im happy to hear positive impressions! For short wheel base do you mean how the car feels? Or moreso how the hood is long and we sit on the back wheel?

I am very happy Toyota focused on making the shifting feel good and percise and notchy.

Can't wait to get my hands on this car!

Regarding the short wheelbase, I’m coming from a ‘21 GLI so the car’s quicker responses to my input (which I assume is at least partly due to the wheelbase) is causing me to recalibrate. The hood is long, and you do feel like you’re almost sitting on the rear axle, but I like that aspect of it. I’ve been driving it in custom mode with the engine set to sport (louder exhaust, quicker throttle response, more aggressive rev matching), but suspension and steering set to normal. In sport, the steering was a little too heavy and the suspension a little too stiff for my old bones…but I can switch everything back on for aggressive driving.

I am happy to hear the car is very responsive. Having options to have a custom mode is always a huge plus. I can't wait to test and tune and find my favorite way to drive the car. Have you tried out sports traction at all, or do you leave traction on at all times? Some reviews have said the sports traction is as good as Porsche systems where they do not intervene with the driving much, yet keep you safe.

First one i've seen. I think there is a yellow one in here but he's from the UK. That blue looks amazing!

I’m only 350 miles in, so have a ways to go before letting loose. I’m one of the few who follow recommended break-in procedures on my cars, and it hasn’t failed me yet!
