Just picked up my Nebula Blue C-HR 1.8 Hybrid Dynamic (Leather Seats). To be honest I have had cars with gadgets before but there is a lot going on here. Is there something Toyota forgot to put in this car? I am not sure I like it when people are staring at me - is this common with this car? They are evidently thinking WT* is that (it is not a wow stare it is a puzzled stare lol). I guess that will go away as more get on the road. I have only seen two others apart from mine so far.

it is good when you pull away from a junction and lip read a man standing there saying "thats cool".
as for forgot to put in the car a jack and spare wheel is my only grumble.
i hope you are enjoying your new motor as much as i am

Raised this with dealer regarding was I going to get a wheel nut spanner, or have to buy one. "You are alright" he said, "you are buying a spare wheel, you get everything!" Still annoyed it does not come with a spare. And if you have no wheel nut spanner you are relying on the can of gunk to work. Never used that, so don't know how reliable they are.

well I just bought a 2 ton scissor jack and spanner that will fit in the boot for £25 so I make that a saving, just got to find a wheel that fits now

Welcome welcome and enjoy! I was also blown away by the amount of "wizadry" in the car and to be honest didn't really mess with much on my test drive. Having looked at the bajillion page manual however is eye opening That is some crazy bed time reading ahead!

They should have added the panorama view as on the Rav.

Yes, it's common and I love it. People are constantly staring at my C-HR and everyday I catch someone taking a photo of it. It may be a bold comparison, but I think the C-HR is the most beautiful Toyota product since the 2000GT.

Agreed. This may become an option on the refresh in a year or two, I was told.

My colleague had to use it on his Auris. He said it's enough to get to the service. But You have to keep in mind - you have to change it after one use.
