Default 10 days with my TCH...

and I love it! It's red (my favorite color) with grey fabric. I had to buy it sight unseen because they are so popular. Fortunately for me it came without options that I did not want (nav system, leather). I didn't even get the chance to sit in a regular '07 Camry because they were sold out of those, too!

I find the ride to be terrific. And the standard amenities that came with the car are more than enough to make my commute pleasurable. Sirius radio, power everything, automatic dimming rearview mirrow, compass, etc.

It took me a few days to get used to the "keyless" entry and starting of the vehicle. It still freaks my wife out that you can't hear the engine upon start-up. She even got the friendly notice of "apply brake to start" when she forgot to do so.

Finally, I am LOVING the gas mileage. I don't want to post it yet because I am only 3/4 through my first tank, but it is more than double my old SUV. My commute is 25 miles and I used to focus on the time it takes to get to my destination. Now I focus on my MPG! A much more relaxing trip. I'm taking an alternate road to work (not as much freeway) and have been practicing my gliding techniques.

Thanks for listening. I still on the lookout for another TCH in Cleveland. Let me know if you are out there.

I am glad you are enjoying yours as much as I am. They are in short supply down here too and I jumped on one 100 miles away.

Are you thinking about buying another?

Had to go all the way to Chicago to get ours. Dealers in Florida could not come thru with a loaded Jasper Pearl. We had deposits here as early as the third week in April. Took delivery July 18th. The air fare and trip back with hotel was less than having to purchase Toyoguard at $699 and pay a $399 doc fee ($53 in Chicago)

Got mine at Toyota of Bedford. I was actually shopping with the wife for a car for her. Salesman told me how hard the TCH is to get but said he would look up there next shipment for me. He said they had six at the dock and five were spoken for. The one left was barcelona red. I called him the next day and gave him my CC number over the phone to put down my deposit.
