Stylin' Ride, but a few minor bugs

I bought the automatic (wife insisted) so was expecting it to be sluggish, but it zipped along nicely. Well designed, but initial quality not great. The trash compartment under the gear shift would pop open with the slightest bump. Also the cover for the manual release button for the transmission was missing when I bought the car. I asked 3 sales people about the cover, they all said there was no cover. Also I just noticed the display panel is abraded in a circular pattern, like it was scrubbed. So nice little car, lots of features, but I was expecting better initial quality from Toyota.

I'm over 80 so I know this will be my last car purchase. The quality of this car is excellent. One complaint would be with the horsepower (128), since I've always liked to 'step on it'. The storage space is well thought out. The display needs a switch to light it up for daytime viewing. I am very happy with my purchase and would do it over again if I had to buy another car.

Hate not being able to control the lights. The other day the lights switched between running lights and regular lights 8 times on the way to work as I went in and out od the shade.

I found the car easy to drive. The front window was to expansive and easy to view. I felt like I was in a school bus, with the seat high in the car. It make viewing of the road easy. I thought the pick-up could be alot better, but once it hit 40 the car kept up with the other cars on the road. The radio and CD player had good quality. All in all this car is fun to drive.
Transmission Problems?

I really love this car. But I am wondering if anyone else has had any problems with their transmission fluid? This past weekend, I took it for an oil change and the mechanics showed me that the transmission fluid was unusually dirty for the amount of mileage I have on the car. It's at about 12,000 miles. I am very curious to know if anyone else has had this problem....
