The car has rattled at start up for a few thousand miles. At first I figured it was normal noise do to direct injection or the variable valve timing. Turns out its a well known problem with the variable valve timing, at 29,000 miles? That's insufficient testing from Toyota in my book. To fix it (if the replacement cam gears are any better) is $250 each, just for the part for both intake and exhaust sides, then much more for the labor. I'll take 10% less gas mileage and a solid engine any day.
