Ended up getting the Beats stereo and sunroof as they had one like that on the lot in the celeste green she wanted and we got it for a fair chunk under invoice. The sunroof is a bit of a fail as there is no solid cover (mesh screen) but you can pop a $30 shield up there to cover it or tint it.
She hasn't had a new car since her '02 Tacoma TRD so she's a happy camper. I got a good price and cheap long term money so I'm happy and we can always dump it if push comes to shove. 4 year/50K miles warranty so at least should be fine for the next few years. We'll see how it holds up.

My wife loves hers and she's had it a bit over a year and it's been flawless. I drive it once in awhile and I as agree that it's no rocket, it certainly has plenty of power to do what it is intended to do. Keep the sport button pressed and the revs up over 4500 and you'll have a little pistol that corners like it's on rails.
We love ours--pound for pound it's a heck of a deal.
