This car is good for the running quick errands. I have owned this car for about 8 years and I haven't had any major problems with this. Reliability is what Toyota is known for so it is quite good in that aspect. However, for long drives this car is not suitable at all and it get really uncomfortable. It makes a lot of sound for a not very powerful engine. The interior and exterior is dull, but that’s what you get for what you pay for. The steering is light for my preference, but that depends on how you drive and the handling is under average. There is a lot of body roll and you feel the car is not under control, that is if you are going faster than what you think in the corners.
You can get a lot of mileage in this car, but that again depends on how you drive it. I would somewhat recommend it to people that are new to this country and are looking for something that works, but if have more money to spend this should not be your first and only option. This car is definitely not fun to drive and it does get boring after three or four times in the car. It is around $18,000 so you can’t expect much.
