I assume the kit includes the wheel and tire ?

Yes, the first picture in my post showed everything received in the kit which included the spacesaver wheel/tyre

Just for completness the spare wheel kit can only be purchased as a kit when I asked i.e. you can't exclude the new boot mat.

Thanks for the confirmation - that is a shame, but perhaps not a complete surprise given the kit is already very competitively priced. My cost-saving mind has been foiled!  🙂

Well a month has gone by. I've added DIY heated seats as per my post and have just come back from a 300 mile round trip including motorways. My petrol consumption on this trip was 65mpg! amazing given my Corsa use to give me around 43mpg on these longer trips. The heated seats worked great too.

I found it absolutely fine on the motorway at 70mph very comparable to my Corsa which probably only accelerated a little bit faster. Car noise and ride was good.

I figured out and enjoyed using adaptive cruise control. The car distance setting worked well and when I pulled out to overtake having been slowed down by a car in front, it just sped up to the original speed on it's own and I pulled back in again with no footpedal action required. All very new to me. The only thing I was not so fond of was lane centering as I found the slight pull left and right to do so, annoying so ended up switching it off. Also if it fails to recognise a speed limit change on a motorway from 70 to 50/60 then back to 70 it constantly bleeps if you go over 60 again thinking its still the temporary speed limit.

I've had a couple of instances where I went over a pothole/uneven surface and the car seemed to kick in some kind of control to brake/control the car it's   hard to explain but rather alarming when it happens.

Really enjoyed carplay and navigation etc although annoying when it loses phone signal and restarts as you have to re-enter the map/route details.

Another great things is it displays my blood sugar levels as a T1 Diabetic, see pic 🙂

The car now needs a clean lol

In summary I'm really pleased with the car. Everyone keeps telling me what a great choice Toyota is for reliability especially the recent 100% score posted elsewhere. Again very happy I went with the Edge over my in initial Pure selection.

I've had that - If you go over something that causes a wheel to slip (In my case, usually rain-slick manhole covers) or otherwise behave different to the other 3, it scares the stability/traction control system and it freaks out for a second, but it should recover quickly when it realizes it was a false alarm and you're not actually sliding into a ditch or something.

It was worse in my Mk1 when I went over such things while braking, as the slip would trigger the ABS and I'd suddenly lose 50% of my braking force (Which is very scary!!), but the Mk4's ABS at least is much better and somehow works without taking away as much braking force when it's triggered.

That sound exactly like what happened. Thanks.

Which glucose sensor do you have?

I use Libre 2 and xDrip software. Although xDrip won't display on CarPlay, I use it to  publish my sugar level to the calander every 5-10 mins and then display the calenda on the CarPlay screen 🙂

Thanks - I'm on Libre 2 plus but Android.

I'll investigate further 👍
