Back on topic, I recently had a sit in a GT86; whilst the seat seemed comfortable enough, the some of the switches were a stretch with others oddly placed. Why put the starter button there??? And those for the heated seats p,with the drives switch hidden by the handbrake, seemed in the wrong place.

Might take a test drive next weekend, but I suspect the residual on my current daily will be too low to make a p-x viable.

It's actually the passenger door unlock/boot switch & stuff that have seemingly been installed by blunderbuss and aren't illuminated.

The heated seats are fitted as an accessory and the Halfords switches are easy to grope-locate.

Those for the Acura TLX are buried in the ICE FRED. That is such a stupid idea (especially for a passenger unfamiliar with the car) and I'd have discharged the blunderbuss at the person(s) responsible. And then pissed into the holes.

Well, signed the paperwork for the Yaris and because it is a mass production volume car it'll be delivered to the dealer by the end of the week and with me soon after.
Got a week to says my goodbyes

Leave some fresh prawns in a paper bag under one of the rear seats, just to make sure you are the last person to enjoy that particular car

Well I shed a tear today as I swapped keys.

I think the S2000 has a slightly more special place in my heart but the GT was a fine car

I doubt a Yaris will be close to either
