"I had a serious problem with the keyless start system. It went on for 4 months, auto would not start,. numerous trips to dealer did not solve problem. Finally I looked in owners manual and read what the problem was. With manual in hand I went to Toyota dealer and explained to service manager what he had to do to fix problem ( replace power start button ) they did at no charge however for the 1st 4 months I was stuck several times with a new car that would not start!! And no help from service manager as well as assistant manager"

Pros: "perfect size, easy to drive"

Cons: "does not handle well in snow"

"I have a 2WD. Love it except for driving in snow or bad weather. Since it is light, it does not drive well at all in bad weather. If you live anywhere you get snow, I suggest a 4WD or AWD."

"I bought this car in 2011 and it hasn't failed me yet. I drive 22 mins to work every day and I get about 24 MPG. The car is easy to drive and very dependable, I haven't had to have any repairs done yet. I have the drive on flat tires and have had to patch them once but that could be due to my driving through numerous highway construction projects in my area. I highly recommend this car. The back seat and the cargo area are very roomy. The back seats fold down for extra cargo room."

Very good

By Ivan (NM) on Friday, January 11, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 1,500

Pros: "4 WD...amazing in snow!"

Cons: "MPG not so good for a 2.5L engine, AVG 24 MPG"

"Bought this car because my wife and I are going to have a baby. So far so good, no problems yet. I got the 2.5L and I enjoy it very well. Enough power for me. I used to have a 99 Legacy and that was a 2.5L as well, but this one feels way faster and stronger. ALL wheel drive is amazing, I live in Northern New mexico and take this car snowboarding all the time! It handles very well on sleek and deep snow! defiantly not a sports car or a truck but I do recommend it for families with kids because of Toyota's reliability, safety and you know you wont ever get stuck in snow!!!! (if you have snow where you live!)"
