New milk. Toyota CHR actually $\:D$

Looks funky as hell. I know it's love it or hate it, but i definitely love it XD
Got it below invoice from Woodbine Toyota - no messing around. Texted the sales manager, told him I wanted the car. Give me good diu and I will not waste any time. He delivered. I confirmed pricing at unhanggle.com and got quite a lot below that. I was also at another dealer prior talking price, and this guy beat them as well.

Good on gas (avg 8.4L for the first tank - all city). Fits bike without need to remove any wheels, along with rollers/trainer, gear bag and tons of drinks/food with ease (#1 criteria!).

Driving position is surprisingly good. It feels like a car. Yes, the drivers seat is elevated, but the actual position is like a car. That is, the hip is lower than your knees. You sit *in* the seat rather than on it. Steering wheel is tilt/telescopic and forward visibility is good. Steering is surprisingly quick and brake pedal while longer travel, grabs very progressively.

Handling wise it's no joke. It drives nothing like what it looks like (read: tall CUV). It's entertaining to chuck around, and you can get the back end to step out with ease with some left foot braking. I found though that with VSC off, you can left foot brake for a max of 2 seconds before throttle is cut (boo). But working around that, the car can be manipulated quite well with just the pedals. It'll tuck in the line with throttle lift, and it can kick out the back with left foot braking easily. It's planted and gives a very direct but sprightly feel. Quick to change direction, and can hold a line better than a car this tall has any right to. The weakest link here are the craptacular tires - but that just makes it all the more easy to step out with the left foot.

Interior quality is really damn good for a car this cheap (it's 26k fully loaded). Leather(ette?) wrapped steering wheel, leatherette dash, very well supporting seats with lumbar adjustment and a crap ton of tech I've never had before. It's a really fun city car.

140hp CVT........uhhh. Engine is meatier than you'd expect in the 3k-5kRPM range. It's no rocket (it is slow), but it can get out of it's own way, and the CVT doesn't hamper it. The worst thing about the CVT is that in 1st gear, it slips the trans up to about 3k RPM. After that point, it's direct (like a torque converter locking up) and it'll move. But until it hits 3k, it's slowww. On the highway passing, it works well enough. The trans is eager to push to high RPM's to make things happen.

Cue: Vas laughing at the car $\:D$
