Great little car - got it 1 year ago w/80K, now has close to 100K. Handles and drives nice for a compact. Seems to be well-built and reliable. No problems other than routine maintenance- this is surprising considering that it seems like the previous owner beat up on it pretty good. Perfect car for getting around town, not as ideal for highway cruising. Good gas mileage. Buy one if you want a Toyota Corolla, but are looking for something a little cheaper.

I looked for a long time before I found this little guy. Toyotas are legendary for reliability, and I have yet to be disappointed. Zero to sixty? You need a sundial, but who cares. My kids love it because it has a stupendous aftermarket stereo.
love this car!

First brand new car I ever bought and still pleased! Over 9 yrs old and approaching 160,000 miles. Have done all regular maintenance and going great! good acceleration even at high speeds. fun for motoring! :) easy to drive in rain/snow--corrects easily from a skid. sturdy build--I can't believe the stuff I've run over or hit with this car over the years and it's still driving fine and looks great!
i love it!

Great car! Nothing wrong! The only thing is the radio is weak. My brakes grind occasionally, but we just got new ones, so maybe they're being broken in. (?) Also, it's not too powerful, but like someone else said, plain city driving is wonderful. Everyone that's seen me in my new Prizm has told me how cute it is, so that's a plus.
Dependable

Not a very peppy 105 HP engine but it is easy to work on and pretty efficient. It can get 38 MPG on the highway. Hopefully it's good for another 50K miles
