This is a magnificent vehicle. I went with my mother to purchase a Pirus for her, but she fell in love with the style, price, and comfort of the CHR and got the CHR. After helping her program and operate certain things on it, I took a liking to it and decided to get one myself. It’s a big step. Not only is it my first Toyota, it is my first foreign vehicle. So far it is already paying for itself with the difference in gas and insurance. All the neutral ratings I put in were because I have not had it long enough, accept for the acceleration. The acceleration is not impressive but not weak. Consider however that this is compared to my Camaro. I rather have the acceleration stay as it is with the same price than have a turbo charged one for thousands more. This vehicle is also uniquely designed. Extremely original without a freakish look. It is the most professional new look I have seen developed in a long time.

Full disclosure, I’ve had three Corollas, a Prius and two Prius c’s, so I’ve come to expect excellent mileage, quality and dependability from Toyota. The C-HR looks great and performs relatively well in Sport Mode. Standard Safety features include Lane Departure Assist/Accident Prevention, Pre Collision Avoidance and Emergency Braking Assist. Standard creature comforts include an Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror, 18” Allow Wheels, Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel and Soft Touch interior materials. That said, it is odd that satellite radio and navigation isn’t offered. Personally, I prefer my portable Garmin to any factory installed navigation system. There are two things about my C-HR that are not consistent with what I’ve come to expect from Toyota. I suppose there’s something to be said for getting the first year of production of any vehicle, but I did experience the unlikely event of a repair with just 1100 miles on the car. There was a banging noise when I turned on the AC and apparently a screw had come loose. Long story short, they replaced the fan motor and housing. I paid only the discounted rate of $23 for a Rental Toyota from within the dealership as the service department had to order a part that would arrive the following day. The repair was of course covered by the factory warranty. Other than that, it takes very delicate feathering of the gas pedal to achieve decent gas mileage. The best I averaged was 37 MPG on a trip to the vet with my kitty, when going out of my way to be as gentle as possible. The worst I’ve averaged is 18 MPG which is unacceptable for a four cylinder Toyota in 2018. I’m aware that mileage improves after the first 1500 miles, even more so after the first 15000, but 18 MPG is for V8’s. The C-HR is a great looking, safe and fun sub-compact SUV. It’s not the best Toyota I’ve ever had. Still under 1600 miles, so we will see.

The transmission went out in mine at 78k miles. After I did some digging around, I found a lot of Toyota customers with the same problem. A few were lucky enough to have it happen in warranty, but many had the same issues I've had. I had mine inspected, and it was determined to be an internal issue with the transmission. I was quoted $8,900 for the replacement. The mechanic suggested I call Toyota to talk to them about the issue, as it was a defect within the transmission. After multiple calls with Toyota, I was told they wouldn't do anything, as the car is out of warranty, and they refused to extend it. I talked to the mechanic again. He told me he could try to find a used replacement, but he wouldn't recommend one. His reasoning was that the transmission would likely go out within a few thousand miles. Even the certified Toyota mechanic admitted this is a bad transmission. His suggestion was to put a new transmission in. Now, it's not just a problem that these transmissions fail prematurely, they cost a fortune. The transmission alone is $6,600. Add extras and labor, it's a $8,500-9,500 replacement. So, Toyota made a garbage transmission and put it in the CH-R. They're taking no accountability for it. It's up to the customer to decide whether or not to pay $9,000 to replace a transmission that could go out in 2-3 years. Please stay away from the Toyota CH-R. After everything I've dealt with, I won't buy from Toyota ever again.

I love my car! It is a little loud on the inside - but I listen to my music pretty loud so it’s okay. It doesn’t have Apple CarPlay - but it does have a USB port that connects messages, calls, and music or Bluetooth. The safety features are phenomenal. Great gas mileage.

I really like this car! I am a single very small woman and I just leave the back seats folded. I have read that they have limited vision for passengers. My dealer is wonderful and the first 25000 miles of service is included. I am very happy with the standard safety features.
