I purchased this car brand new in 2001. This is my third Toyota, and I am so happy with this car. It has exceeded my expectations. Even at the advanced age and mileage (140,000), this car still runs smoothly. It is always dependable and starts immediately even in the worst New York blizzards. I wanted a car that felt solid and stable as I deal with severe weather, and having a car that is heavy and stable is one of the most important factors to me. This car grips the road and is big enough to handle the weather well but not too big that it is hard to handle. I have gone out in negative twenty-degree weather, and this car just starts right up every time. I was so immediately impressed with this car that both my son and my mother bought the identical car shortly after I did.

There's not a lot of pros about this car. It would constantly break down. The check engine light came on frequently. Random parts would just break. I've replaced the brakes three times in the eight months I have driven it. It doesn't come with a working Bluetooth to connect my phone to. It doesn't have a working aux input either. I've spent more money maintaining the car than it was actually worth. I'm a tall person, and I barely fit in the car. My head almost touches the roof of the car. Honestly, it was more trouble than it was worth. I barely got me from point a to point b. Overall, I would not recommend it.
