The build quality is great for the price. This is generally a given for Toyotas. It just feels well-made compared to other cars in its class. I love how fuel efficient it is. I can easily get 40-50 miles per gallon without any special driving tactics. I used to spend several hundred dollars a month on gas, and now I spend less than a hundred. It's also much easier to maintain than my previous vehicles. The parts don't wear out as easily, and the battery has a very long life. I haven't experienced any issues with key electronic components. I used to spend at least $1,000 per year getting my previous car serviced, but now I spend a mere fraction of that. The biggest cost so far has been new tires.

It delivers excellent gas mileage, which cannot be beaten. It has lots of standard safety features, lots of cabin and cargo space that most other cars in its class. It is very compact and comfortable, and it lasts a very long time on the road. It drives really smooth and has a quiet ride except when it is recharging. It does not need much maintenance, and it is keyless entry.
