Lame that I drive a 2007 and this dislike is still relevant. My carpet has a wear spot on it and my car only has just over 60k on it. How in 8 yrs have they not gotten enough feedback about this to have added it? First thing I noticed when going from my Civic LX to the Yaris.

One thing I forgot to include in post #3.....I agree with you about the one blade windshield wiper

. I was worried that one blade wouldn't work as well as two, but my concern was unfounded.

I did a double-take when I first got into the car and noticed no protective plate on the raised foot-rest area. I was like WTF!!!

I wonder if I could velcro/attach something to that spot, without it being a potential safety hazard of it coming off and getting caught up under a pedal or something. I don't want to win a Darwin Award or anything, after all

As it is, I have changed my sitting position with that leg/foot, so that I don't put my foot on the baseline carpet/flooring there.

Yeah, unless it's securely screwed down, I wouldn't risk it.
