Pros: Toyota quality, sound engine design, rigid unibody
Cons: Weird CC, DRL, and needs special Toyota Trans fluid.
The Bottom Line: Thoughtful design, peppy engine, good fuel mileage. I rate this car a solid BUY.

Pros: Fun 4-door sedan.
Cons: Very few.
The Bottom Line: For under $20K, I have not been in a more fun 4-door sports sedan.
I have had this car for a few days now and I am very impressed with everything so far. I was afraid of owning a 4 door car as I have always had a coupe (2 door). I thought it wouldn't look as Sporty but the standard external features are among the ...

Pros: Reliable car,good gas milage,acceptable parts prices,
Cons: Engine is too noisy, wind is not your friend, worst radio, rattling noises,low quality tires.
The Bottom Line: By the way,I negotiated this car for the invoice price plus $CAD 400,plus financing interest.Before you buy, check the invoice price of the car and you will save a thousand.
This is NOT a sports car!!! Even XRS model! If you like sports, stay away from this car! But it is an excellent commuter! If you need a reliable vehicle just to drive around, with a good gas milage- get this car and you will not be disappointed. I was ...
