I was working at a Toyota dealership in Northern VA when the first-gen Mister Two came out, they were THE hot ride to take on errands. Crikey were they ever fun. But I never drove any of the follow-on models, so I don't know how the breed developed after that first iteration.

I do remember that at the time, even though I was about 5'11 and only 145 pounds, I thought that the car was on the verge of being tight even for my unreasonably lean and limber frame, and that normal-sized people would find it downright uncomfortable. How has it been for you?
