reddit.comI have the same one, same color, but 2021. I've rarely been so happy with a purchase. Congrats and enjoy!

iām excited. I had troubles with pairing the phone calls to the monitor, but other than that, itās been great. some initial smells, but i understand thatās just chemicals they use as preservatives for the trip from japan.

How long did you have to wait for it and was there āmarket adjustments ā
2
i waited about 2.5 months for this one, but i had made calls for 2 months to find one at MSRP
4
They sold at msrp? When I called them they tried to charge me a $2k markup so I went somewhere else
2
they do some complicated financing for 6 months, and in exchange they sell at msrp

Is that the gray interior?? I have a deposit down on the same one!! Love the color
2
it is the grey interior. heated seats and heated steaming wheel are nice touches. i was a little concerned about heated cloth seats, theyāre not bad. donāt heat up as fast as leather, but still get warm. they donāt get too cold in the winter (it was 30 this morning in reno)

The gray doesnāt look as light as I was envisioning. My husband has a 2015 Corolla and his gray is really light. Iām happy to see yours is darker. Congrats on the car!
2
i like the look so far! thank you!
2
Is the steering wheel heated all the way around or just half of it?? I had seen one post about it being half, but wasnāt sure if that was how itās supposed to be or something was wrong with it.
2
IIRC, itās heated only āhalfā (ie only the sides are heated), based on a 2021.
2
Well thatās annoying. Lol. First world problems I guess.
2
only half, only on the sides. not what i was expecting either, but thatās how they did it
1
Heyo! You got yours from the same dealship I did! Although I'm local here in Nampa haha. The sticker they put on is super easy to take off, I took off the stickers and plate covers as soon as I got it home.
2
nice. matt and the team were fantastic. he communicated with me for the last couple months. Thanks for the advice. iāll take those off today.

Congrats! I have a 2021 XSE Hybrid in Magnetic Gray Metallic I love that color.
2
Itās darker than i originally wanted, but i still wouldnāt trade it for any other color. i was considering silver as well, i think this trumps it (for me)
1
I know I didn't want black but my second choice was the Silver Sky Metallic. I really like how the Magnetic Gray Metallic looks with Tinted windows.
2
i bet that does look really good! i liked the silver sky as well!
1
one gorgeous car you have there!
2
thank you! i waited for it and Iām glad I did!

Is anyone else disappointed in the DRLs for the 2022 models? I just got mine a few days ago and super bummed about the DRLs being the actual headlights and not utilizing the led strip.

Congratulations

Nice! Congratulations. Hope you had them take off that dealership decal on the back. It's not even on straightš
I know they did the same to my momās rav. They said it would take an hour to remove so I just removed it at home with my hands. Super easy.
I feel like there would be some satisfaction in making them remove it themselves to make it a point that buyers do not appreciate them marking up their brand new cars, but of course time is money.
i agree, the whole process was challenging, including waiting 2 months, flying to boise, doing all the paperwork, and driving back to reno
noā¦i didnāt even get to that. i live in reno and had to sign, pay, get insurance and get on the road to drive it from boise to reno!
Well, you know what the first thing to do when you get home is then! Drive safely!
well first, i was going to get my cup of coffee and admire itā¦.THEN take off the tags and drive it
Haha, sounds like a plan!
