Meh - should have upgraded to the Limited.
 Here's the thing with Toyota.  It's ALWAYS been their thing.  Unless you upgrade to "Limited" (or in the old days LE, etc) - you get the cheapest stuff around as far as fit and finish of the interior.  Time was, under the hood all things were equal.  Not anymore.  Anyone who owns the BASE MODEL 4cyl 4WD MUST know how much of a lag there is if you need quick acceleration.  This thing is THE slowest responding dog I've ever driven.  Off the line, it's okay but if you need a passing gear, wow, it's bad.  This is directly the result of Toyota keeping selling costs down but it completely sacrifices the performance not having at least a 5 speed transmission.  I had a 2008 Corolla S before this which had better acceleration.  Thankfully, if you switch the shifter to 'sport' it downshifts more rapidly.  Traction control and safety features are great on this car.  The standard headlights are pathetic.  No fog lights standard either.  I've upgraded to better lights and also have installed foggers.  Makes a major difference.  The wheels are simply painted steel which I was fine with until three years in, they are already rusting.  Again - irritating.  OEM tires (Kumho) were also pure junk.  Finally, the stereo.  Now, I didn't expect a massive sound system but again - always with Toyota - it's not a Limited so they install something you would have found in an American car from 15 years ago.  Piece of absolute junk.  There are component speakers in the front doors and ONE WAY speakers in the back.  The sound in the rear is just terrible.  I've upgraded the rears and it made a good improvement.  A compass on the rearview mirror also would have been handy.  Don't get me wrong, I DO like this SUV.  Overall, I'm picky but those are the things for me that stick out.  It rides smooth, it's ultra reliable, it's quiet, very good in poor driving conditions, love the swinging rear door, plenty of room, AC blows SO COLD, lots of storage.  For those complaining of the cup holders, take the rubber insert out.  Simple.  Those were only there so one COULD use a can if you wanted to.  Also, like that it came standard with electronic fuel economy readings.  We have been driving Toyotas in my family since we owned a 1979 Supra.  Amazingly reliable.
