Always turned on the first try

Most reliable car ever -- even though it's FWD, it's made it up snowy mountains in addition to handling well on city streets. I owned it for 14 years and would buy it again!

great first car!! esp for students of commuters

excellent bang for the buck. if you a single person or student(s) this is the car for you. low maintenance and good reliability gives this car a great edge.

My 02 CE is kinda fun to drive to be honest.

My 02 CE is actualy kinda fun to drive. With a nice set of beefy rims and good tires, and a solid alignment and aftermarket shocks,,,struts it keeps up with the traffic alright,,,,And a chip on the data port. It goes in heavy traffic in the city and I can take of like a rocket on the open highway.

Great purchase.

While it's not much to at look, and it's not exactly comfortable, I love it. It runs fantastic, so reliable. I've had it for 9 years now and I've had very few repairs. Just the usual oil changes, tires, spark plugs. It sometimes seems to go through oil fast, that'smy only complaint. I check it every week and sometimes (for no apparent reason) I have to add as much as 3 quarts of oil. Very strange.

Reliable. Fuel Efficient. Cheap Maintenance.

The car handles great and the engine is dependable. The suspension can handle dirt roads and steep climbs.

Most reliable car I've owned

Great car for the money. Very reliable and dependable that you'd expect from Toyota. Great on gas and fuel economy. Low maintenance vehicle. Just bought another one.

16 years still driving fine

I got this car right after I finished high school and have driven it everyday since. It has never had any major problems and still drives great. The only issues I have had were replacing interior door handles and the glovebox handle. 92,000 miles on it in TN and TX heat and it is as reliable as ever (however I have kept up with maintenance and oil changes) I am definitely a Toyota lover for life! This car is super reliable and thrifty.
