This car has given sterling service for several years, something which was fully expected given the Toyota reputation. What wasn't fully understood at the time, however, was the pleasure provided by driving an economy car possessing many of the "bells and whistles" associated with more expensive vehicles. The feel of the leather seats, the light coming through the sunroof, the power controls - all combine to raise the driving experience from dull routine to one of satisfaction and contentment. The extra money for the little extra flourishes was money well spent.
