Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Reliability- no major issues and it has over $135,000 miles. Only regular tune ups and tires needed. Maneuverability- Amazing turning radius! Fits into small spaces, hugs the ground, goes anywhere I need it to-even on dirt roads Value- at least 30 mpg all the time! Cargo space- has as much square footage as a small SUV! When seats are down, two people can sleep in the back comfortably. I've hauled all sorts of things in this beauty. And there is more room or just as much room in the hatchback trunk when the back sets are up than in a small SUV. Why did Toyota stop making these? They are simply the BEST passenger vehicle/small SUV (without 4 wheel drive) out there. It gets 8-10 or more mpg than any other small SUV in production at this time. Toyota was nuts to discontinue these. I'm on my second one (my first one topped 250,000 miles before it finally died in an auto accident) and will keep this one until it dies. At this time, it's only on it's half life!"

Passed Down The Family Tree!

By Toyota Lover (NC) on Friday, May 24, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 275,000

Pros: "Runs smooth, saves gas tremendously, loose wheel"

Cons: "Manual locks on doors, small cup holders"

"This car was passed down to me from my grandparents and at first I thought it would be a drag to fix it up but it actually wasn't! The only major concern was of how old it was. My aunt, the previous user of the car had burned out the ignition (starter) so I had to replace it. 20 years and still running! I will probably even use this convenient car to commute from home to college with over 200,000 miles. On top of all of this, it's a major gas saver! With 20 bucks I've already filled up over half the tank! Gotta love this car!"

solid, dependable, great first/commuter car, A+

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 230,000

"I bought this car used at 130k, and have driven it now for another twelve years and 100k miles. People always think it is newer than it is. Sure, it's not particularly flashy or fancy, but it has been fantastically reliable - no major fixes, just oil changes and tires. I keep thinking something major will break 'soon', but nothing ever does... Had brakes and belts done at 200k, and she just keeps going. Interior is holding up fairly well, a few threadbare patches now on the linings, and the automatic door locks on the passenger side have gone out, but all in all I cannot complain. A great commuter car that still regularly achieves around 35 mpg on the freeway, and around 28 in the city - well above the posted EPA rates."

"My aunt bought it brand new, then sold it to her foster mother then her foster mother gifted back to me. It's got 139000km on it only, and it runs pretty good. I take it to Canadian Tire for oil changes every 5000km."
