    No, there's nothing in the way. Didn't like the one in my Charger either. Just gettin' to be a cranky old bastard I guess.

    Re:mileage. You might see an increase with a few miles under its belt. I can routinely get 20 if I don't go over 60. Every 5 mph over takes a mpg away. I can nurse 19-20 mixed cry country. Your foot may vary.

    Re: mirror. Hmm mirrors have been glued on for how many decades? They might fall off, once for me, repair kits readily available, easily reinstalled. I can understand the anoiyance of having to do the tweak when going from day to night. My gripe is placement, makes somewhat of a blind spot when having to look up and to the right. Might take mine off.

    Glad you think there is a need for auto locking doors. PIA as far as I'm concerned, I'll lock my own, don't need a safetycrat locking the doors for me. Maybe that's another good reason to keep bluTaco. No speedway blue and auto locking doors=not interested!

    I guess I just don't understand the point of this thread? I would never buy something without research first, especially not something as expensive as a car. If you dislike it so much why'd you get it?

    Window locks: There are times where a driver may drive with a child or dog in the front seat... that prevents the passenger seat occupant from lowering the window. Establishing dominance in the driver's seat was never the intention... I'm sure of it.

    No key cylinder in the passenger door: Fewer and fewer vehicles today have these.

    Your wild and extremely freakish height of 6' should have been a concern in the Taco during a test drive.

    ... ... I'll speak for the others as well, we appreciate the needed info of your inseam measurment.

    ;)


    Anyway, welcome to TW :)

    Most people, myself included, tend to miss things in a test drive, that they otherwise come to light after living with the vehicle for a week or so.

    Its common sense. TO add, the OP has 4 posts. If you want to be a dick, do it to someone else.
