I enjoy driving my car every time I get in it. It has a lot of miles on it but still starts and runs like it did when it was knew. Here in the Midwest we just had the coldest weather in my lifetime, and it started everyday. I get great gas mileage and haven't had any major problems as far as repairs. I am though very attentive to regular oil changes and maintenance on all my vehicles. The ride is very comfortable even during long trips. The leather seats have held up well over the years, and the interior carpet has maintained its integrity even after all these years.
Story
I taught my daughter how to drive in this vehicle. We had a lot of good conversations and moments in this car. You could almost say she grew up in this car. I actually purchased this car when she was a baby. She practically did grow up with this car.
Pros
My favorite things about my car is the look and lines of the car. Being as old as it is, it is still stylish and sleek in my eyes. I also enjoy the power it has and how fun it is to drive. It handles very well and is just a joy to drive. The sun roof in the summer months makes it feel like a comfortable. I am a big guy at six foot four inches tall, and I have plenty of leg room while I am driving or sitting in the passenger seat. There is more than enough room in the backseat for the kids or the dog.
Cons
Trunk space is very limited, and it doesn't handle or drive well in the snow. It is also hard to do it yourself small fixes on routine things like changing head light bulbs and break pads.

Toyotas are known for their legendary reliability, and this car has been no exception. Despite not always getting the best treatment, this car has taken everything I've thrown at it and asked for more. I've never had any major issues, despite having taken the car from 90,000 miles to 190,000 miles. It still feels as smooth as ever and shows no signs of slowing down. It might be 15 years old, but it's still in great shape, so there's no reason to get rid of it. I would buy another one without hesitation. This is simply the best car I've ever owned.
Story
I had never switched out my own headlights on a car, and I recently had the chance to do so. It may seem boring, but it was pretty interesting to me since I've always enjoyed taking this car apart to change little things, such as light bulbs in the interior.
Pros
This is a cheap car to own. I haven't had any major issues such as a engine or transmission needing to be replaced, and just standard maintenance is all that's needed to keep it going. Another thing I love about the car is the design, since it looks stylish without being too flashy. Also, despite being a smaller coupe, there's still plenty of space for a 6'3" person like myself.
Cons
The only negative thing I can think of is the gas mileage. It is a V6, so it obviously is thirstier than a four-cylinder, but it would've been nice to squeeze a better MPG out of the engine.
