I had planned to buy one of these for the mpg, proximity keyless entry, and push button start (would make my life so much easier) but ended up with a 2010 yaris 3dr base model for $7,500 with 80k miles and a 1yr warranty. I am not upset with my purchase. I do wish I had the same technology, but at least nothing can break on my model. I am enjoying my Yaris and may never buy a non toyota again. I am also a member of the mirageforums, as I was seriously considering buying one. I just simply could not spend $16k since I have just purchased a new civic.
edit: I wanted to add that my test drive of a 5spd was excellent, shifter felt good and when I let off the clutch the car would easily move (unlike my Yaris!) and I did not have a problem with the interior at all, although the backseat looks like it came out of a 2001 echo... The back spoiler felt cheap and was wobbly... I don't think it would stay attached to car for long. some parts did feel cheap, but I enjoyed the car.
