Should have guessed as the traction control and stability control are either side of it.
Still seems a little odd having a snow button in a coupe but at least they actually thought about it. :thumbup1:
the reason it has sport and snow buttons is due to the car in the pic having the cvt gear box....
Reviews so far seem quite decent on this, but £28k! That is seriously overpriced if you ask me, in terms of not great looking, rear wheel drive compact 2+2, this sits bang on with the 1 series coupe. That money gets you a 125i, a few k more gets you the stonking 300bhp 135i.
And it's not like this thing looks like it's loaded with kit either. Not really sure what Toyota were thinking with that pricing........hope it's a mistake and it's actually under £25k
@Ormi: Surely they wouldn't have stuck a CVT in a sports car? I read it was a 6 speed auto?
CVT - the most unsporting gearbox ever invented.
I have a horrid feeling this is going to turn out like the the MR-S.

I'd be amazed if they put a CVT in it, it must be a proper auto box (or I hope it is anyway!)
A CVT just has no character whatsoever, nothing like a DSG which is effectively a variation on an automated manual gearbox........
Being as a lot of Japanese manufacturers are opting for CVT 'boxes - Nissan is the big culprit. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, if this one gets a CVT.
