I've never had problems with our Toyota...

as I said, this is an automatic, and the selector isn't much different 
from any other center console selector, square cross section...  You 
would have to be a bit imaginative to make this comparison.  (but then; 
some people see /them/ 'everywhere'...)

When I took it for a test drive, I took some corners quick enough to say 
"I usually don't drive it like this."  *shrug*  I'm 18 and I have to pay 
insurance.  It's as much fun as you can have with a 1.6L inline-4 I'm 
guessing.

The trunk in back will nicely hold a few Blue and White G3s and the one 
in the front will hold about 3 G4 cubes and keyboards.
