Frist?
Strongly Disagree --> Disagree --> Neutral --> Agree --> Strongly Agree
Admin
I've had a Nissan false in the past. Good car, but the fuel efficiency leaves to be desired.
Admin
Frist comments are:
Very annoying [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Extremely annoying
What is most annoying with regards to your frist comment?
Admin
After buying a hybrid, I'm not just dissatisfied with the car, I'm very dissatisfied with my whole life.
Admin
I am Strongly Agree with my car.

The Daily WTF Comment Warning There's a problem with this comment's security proof. V The comment was sent by a registered user. V The sender has a valid name. V The comment's date is valid. Do you still want to read this comment?
Admin
To be fair, that complaint about the certificate could still be perfectly legitimate. There are other criteria that can flag a certificate as problematic. That the dialog box doesn't actually describe to the user the failure case for the certificate validation is the actual WTF.

I thought my payment-by-submarine checkout screen was funnier than most of these. Is there a some PayPal competitor out there called Submarine that I don't know about?
Admin
'Pick and language and just STICK with it!!'
Admin
I'm going to guess the certificate is self-signed.
Admin
If so, that's still an authority that that system trusts. It's one of the more esoteric failures that's up (and the dialog fail is in not saying what it was given that it wasn't an expected failure case, even if the report of the issue is just in technical terms).
Admin
"What was was the ..." -> fake
Repeating some small words is an error I see all the times. But I'm sure Toyota wouldn't let it pass, up to the public website. Maybe that's a Thom-mock?
Admin
Josef - the duplicated 'was' is just a typo.
Try looking at the left and right of the feedback range, goes from 'very unsatisfied' to 'extremely unsatisfied'. That is the WTF here - what selection do you make if even remotely satisfied?
Admin
Ruts - yes, it understood.
But I'm a bit in doubt if it's real, when I see way-too-stupid typos, which you typically find in whatsapp chats (i suspect) :)

The only people not UNsatisfied with Toyota hybrid vehicle user interfaces are those suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
The Prius has a marvelous drive train, truly fantastically innovative, saddled with a user interface that was clearly designed by the clueless offspring of a PHB. You shift forward to go backwards, you shift backwards to go forwards, you use a completely separate physical control to shift into park, there are controls hidden by the steering wheel and console "styling" - it's its own UI anti-pattern, the Toyota interface.
Admin
So that's where Nissan got the "forward to go back" anti-pattern from. After nearly a year driving a Leaf, it still irritates and confuses me. I assumed it was because automatics go R->N->D. As I'm coming from a manual ("stick") shift, that isn't really helpful.
Admin
I am getting the feeling that would be on some car insurance website.
