Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

People think it's a Boxster - but it's a third of the price: great!
Costs
Very unimpressed with service costs comapred to Puma I had before.

On the road
Driving
Hates traffic crawling.
Performance
It's VERY light. Little front downforce and rear wheel drive. It's taught me a few lessons has this car! Handle with care, especially on a greasy surface.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far.
Image
A true looker. People gape open mouthed (but only when it's clean!)
Comfort
Very diffciult to get in and out of. Also found it difficult to get the right driving position - have had some left knee strain problems.
-
Security and Service
Security
Alarm sounds weedy.
Service
Dealer staff were rude, failed to inform me of service pricing and basically didn't listen to what I asked them do. I will take it to Toyota for servicing, but not the same dealer.
