What is your RPM in top gear at 60mph? In the Scion, its 3000 RPM, and I hate that.

2500 rpm at 60 mph.

I am going to wait for the Fix-It-Again-Tony car to be here in North America for a few years before judging if they have improved the quality much. I had FIAT back in the 70's, worse car I have ever had. But due to it's novelty, definitely a head turner.......its strikes me as similar to when the "new" VW Beetle came out - all style and no substance, but hopefully I am wrong here.

Cheers,

Mike
