My toyota is absolute crap, if this helps.

What's wrong with it? But yes it seems like more recenr toyotas are crap, especially the interior.
It has a neat feature of auto locking itself if you forgot it, so if you forgot your keys in, they will be autolocked in.

The positions of the pedals is not fit for humans (but that's a bit OT)

The integrated not readily replaceable without servicing the entire dashboard USB port just broke.

The feature to alert me when I'm about to hit an obstacle triggers when I've already done a full stop.

The radio touch interface is awful. There is basically no way to say "play everything". You've got to select the artist, then the album, blabla. Of course you need to stop the car to move on to the next album.

The detection for speed signals is so wrong. It consistently gets the signs that are meant for slow-down lanes to exit the highway as the actual limit I'm supposed to have.

In some specific places it imagines ghost speed signs every single time I pass.

Apart from the electronic junk how is the actual driving experience? Can you drive comfortably with good power?

As I said, the pedals are placed in a position that was not designed with human beings in mind. So, not really. Quite uncomfortable.
