   yeah it seems tehy like to make seats not as plush as they useta and peper   
   thin with no padding on all these small cars.. sorta why i went with mine, and   
   it has some nice noise and sound proofing.. feels pretty quiet, you still hear   
   the engine a tad, but not much and like no road noise..   
      
   I sorta was feeling like trying soemthing different and with better gas   
   millage so thats why i tried a toyota out, i was looking as honda, but tehy   
   are way over prices and they have really still rides,, and like 3 years ago   
   the honda fit was going for 30k.. it was outragious.. whats more anoying then   
   anything are those ridicilious raddle shifters on the stearing wheel, i just   
   want torip those f-ing things off!..
