There's not much wrong with this wonderful little car, but there are things that Toyota's not got quite right.

Vent here, and maybe there are solutions?
 
Windscreen wipers. Obviously, there's one missing at the rear, but the front ones aren't great and leave a smear mark exactly in the wrong place on the windscreen.
 
The bloody enormous rear view mirror for the very slim view through the rear window!
Best solution.

Itโ€™s not an issue with the car but the intrusive โ€˜safetyโ€™ features which are a result of the legislation. The lane departure assistant in practice can be far from safe. Yanking the steering wheel out of my hand whilst Iโ€™m trying to pass a cyclist so that the car is now aiming back at them is just unsafe. Safety features work at their best when they are the least intrusive and work seamlessly in the background. Lane departure is usually an irritation and occasionally a danger, in all sorts of vehicles. I suppose itโ€™ll only get worse with speed restrictors.
 
Only pure annoyance was indeed that rear view mirror, smack bam right in the field of view for me.
Solved with a digital rearview mirror/dashcam, must say it's amazing how clean the camera stays behind the antenna.
 
The seats not so much the height kore that they donโ€™t hold me in enough when out on track
 
Recess In door card for the drivers arm is probably ok if you are short and or have the seat forward.

With the seat back the recess is in the wrong place and elbow hits the door card
 
No boot light
Phone gets disconnected when you turn the engine off.
Canโ€™t work out if or how I can adjust the distance on adaptive cruise control
TPMS gives false warnings in the cold.
Lane departure (blind spot would be more useful)
No rear park sensors on CP
Horn
Hill hold doesnโ€™t. (As wife attempted to burn my clutch out... she drives an auto)
 
From the positives sister thread
The heated seats ๐Ÿ˜‚
Hate to disappoint, but they are the worst I have ever had (fancy two stage ones, very long time to get any heat in them).
