    Unless there is reported trend of the design leading to misapplication of the brakes.
    One poster on a web page is not a trend.

    Ha ha, the brake pedal force and requirements absolutely have changed. There used to be none. The NHTSA didn't even exist until 1970! Cars I'm talking about are older than that.

    I have no problem with the "small rear window". Perhaps it's your physical limitations. Have you had neck problems not being able to turn your head properly? Chiropractor? No issue here with its associated visibility. If this was an issue Toyota would have investigated it and had a solution.

    I'm used to driving manual. No issues with break pedal what so ever.
