I got this car four years ago for relatively cheap—about $3,500. Since then, I have driven it almost daily, and it has never let me down. I do wish that it was a little sportier looking—I can sometimes be a little envious of the smart-looking whips my friends drive around. The trim and body condition has held up decently over the years, but it's definitely starting to show a little wear from sun damage and scratches that have accumulated over the years. I plan on being a lifelong Toyota driver because of this car, though. Other cars have had catastrophic problems that occurred well before the 100k mile mark. I'm still smooth sailing with this car at about 110k miles. I also like the fact that it has a built-in temperature indicator and that the headlights are always on when the car is running. The interior and seating are no-frills, basic cloth and fake leather—comfortable enough but not amazing.

This car is great to run around town in and long road trips are good too. The trunk space is huge for the size of the car as it fit my dog stroller, golf clubs and travel bags with no problem. I've had very little issues with it and it didn't start having rattles of any type until over 200,000 miles. I've consistently gotten over 30+ mpg over the years. The stereo is average for factory install but it suited my needs perfectly. No issues with interior of car, it has held up extremely well. I was rear-ended once and I couldn't believe how well the frame held up. All damage was mainly in the undercarriage. That incident proved to me it was an extremely safe car for a compact car.
