Then I learned they had basically been told to by NHTSA. So much for being proactive. On the upside, in NYT today, the head of Toyota admits they make bland cars.
Anyway, I don't really like drive-by-wire systems. Most seem to lack pedal feel to me. OTOH, my #2 kid doesn't like the firmer pedal in my 9K compared to her '99 9-3 or my wife's 9-5.
In contrast, #1 kid in her '95 9K thinks the gas pedal in the 9-3 and 9-5 is too soft and sensitive.
Personally, I like a mechanical throttle with the cable, rollers and springs. Simple is better. Cheaper to fix, too.
