Re: What ONE thing really drives you nuts about the TCH
No TCH here yet, so I can't speak from experience, but I'm looking forward to being keyless because over my many years of driving, keys have been a royal pain. I've locked them inside of cars. I've dropped the keys and broken the fob. Getting good copies is not guaranteed. Once, after some serious maintenance, I ended up needing two different keys for my Corolla - one for the door and one for ignition. I know that can be fixed, but heck with it.
The remote for my future TCH (wherever that car may be right now - hopefully not still sideways off Alaska) will always be in my pocket, nice and safe ... that's the plan, anyway.

- My fob lives in the inside pocket of my winter coat for 4 months (yes, I live where it is ciold and have no style - 1 coat fits all situations ).
- Opening the door is the same whether it is locked or not, just pull the handle
- Starting the car involves putting my foot on the brake and pushing Power
- Ending my trip is SO much harder - push the parking brake in, push Power, let off the brake. Exit. Sad there is no 'by wire' joystick in the HC
- Push the button on the door handle to lock the car. Now, admittedly, in my prior vehicle, I would lock it with the inside control before closing the door so it wasn't a lot different. Of course, I could (and once did) lock my keys inside. This is impossible if you use the outside button to lock a HC or Prius.

I find that I have to get used to pushing the button on the door handle. i am so used to pushing a button on a remote, but that stays in my pocket.

Other than no Auto Up/Down on all 4 windows from the driver's controls.
What drives me nuts is this darn 'rear bumper applique' !!
It's not an eyesore, but it wasn't something I could cancel on my order...many of you know, but it's a clear plastic piece that sits on the bumper where the trunk sill is. It just bugs the heck out of me for two reasons:
a. It's price is higher than the $30 I paid to have heated mirrors
b. It's a useless piece as far as I'm concerned and just another place to catch wax when I'm applying it.
I know it's there to theoretically help you to not scratch that sill that leads into the trunk, but hell, I ain't gonna be hauling REBAR in my trunk!!
Anyway, just had to express it...keeping things in perspective...this is a very minor annoyance to me, and it was just my misfortune that I didn't catch the vehicle early enough to delete this PIO. If these are my biggest gripes about my new Camry, I'm sure to be one happy son of a gun with this car.
