I liked the fact that it was relatively updated and reliable. Toyotas get good marks for quality and reliability. I have found that over the two years and nearly 30,000 miles that I have driven, it has performed well, and what in my book is vital for a used car, it has stayed out of the mechanic.

I purchased this van for a few reasons—its capacity for two car seats with ample storage room and its four-wheel drive capability. Living in a snowy area, four-wheel drive is a must. It handles beautifully in snowy, ice conditions. The sliding doors make it easy to get the kids buckled in. It handles like a small car. It is very easy to maneuver. Its gas mileage is good for size of vehicle. I love that the seats can be folded down to add more storage space. The back-up camera makes it very easy to parallel park.
