Pros: Good MPG. Cheap to own and insure. Toyota at a GEO price. Semi-fun to drive.
Cons: Paint starting to fade in some areas. Road noise.
The Bottom Line: Buy one if you can find a good one.

Pros: good gas mileage (28-30 in town, 35 highway), nice interior
Cons: Incredibly slow, terrible handling, bad paint
The Bottom Line: Great car, but avoid the 1.6L, sacrifices too much in handling and power
Likes: Bought the car a year ago for $1100, it had 165000 miles on it. Knowing it has a Toyota engine and transmission, I had no reservations about buying it, since the previous owner took diligent care of it and kept all the records. What shocked me ... read more

Pros: Roomy, quick and easy to drive.
Cons: A full load of passengers kinda slows accelleration.
I bought this vehicle used in October of 1996. It only had 21000 miles on it and we paid around $11000 for it. This car has been great, it has taken us on several trips to Utah, Oregon, Nevada and all over the Los Angeles area and the central ... read more
