Great daily driver

Car is great as a daily driver. I owned one and put over 90,000 miles on it with no issue. My only thing about this car is that it is not great when it snows. Other than that, its a great vehicle to own

Handles better than any car I have EVER driven!

This is fun, clean, fast, affordable sports car! I have had this car for 2 years and honestly hate to get rid of it because its so fun to drive. It gets great gas mileage and I have never had any issues whatsoever with it. Extremely reliable!

Fun daily

Fun car, low on power but that?s what makes it good, easily to lose out the rear end. good gas mileage, and reliable. It?s a Toyota. not comfortable. Stoneage sound system.

Very sporty and fun

It was fun to drive but the gas mileage was not good but it handled great. Hugged the corners real well and was very comfortable.

As fun as an adult go-cart

Powerful enough to be fun, but not enough to get you into trouble (much). With snow tires, my teenage daughter could safely drive this car in the Chicago winters. The low center of gravity makes it feel like a go cart. I enter turns at 45mph without braking. No mechanical problems, but my key needed to be replaced. I don't like the stock radio, but it's adequate. If you are taller than 6 feet, you may want to consider a bigger car. I am 5'10", 170lbs, and this car fits me like a glove. Most adults will not fit in the back seat, but small kids will.

Best handling car for the price

Best handling car for the price. Not a fast car by any means but is very quick. Everyone should own one. Interior is great but could be better. Seems like they put a lot of money into the chassis and drivetrain over the interior. Perfect enthusiast car

Great car.

The frs is a bit under powered by today?s standards. But it?s the Best rear wheel drive Japanese car you can purchase today. It?s turning into a Modern day nissan 240sx.

Least Expensive Real Sports Car!

I recommend this car for anyone who loves speed and doesn?t have enough $ for a vette. No need for any changes, car perfect the way it is.

Affordable and sporty

I absolutly love this car. I look forward to driving it everyday. Its great for two people, any more is difficult and car seats if you have kids, are also difficult. You can fit forward facing car seats. It feels great to drive and looks awesome. Its not the most powerful car but for someone looking for a sporty, reliable daily driver thats good on gas, and you will love driving, this car fits the bill!

Sporty and great handling

This car has everything that I want in an economical sports car. Fast, fun and great looking. The radio is not very load but the quality of music sounds very nice if you get the pioneer deck
