Is this post too late? I have a 2007 touring edition with option#2. I have had the backup camera twice save me from being hit by another car backing out of a parking space. I do check it, but I also look.

What brake problem, none here.

I got the car discounted - below sticker - but I did so through the internet. Dealing that way I talked with the fleet manager not a sales person. It paid off.

I have seen postings complaining about the handling of the standard edition. I certainly have not had any handling complaints about the touring edition. Good choice.

No extended warranty. I expected a subsequent offer from Toyota but none received. This is a crap shoot, with the odds in favor of the house, so I passed.

First several tank fulls of gas will not be giving superb mileage. It takes something like 5,000 miles to break in and deliver the best mileage. (Summer driving is also better than winter outings.) So while you may track the mpg, don't get excited about it at first.
