Best Car We Ever Owned

the car is excellent on gas and the only time we see a mechanic is for oil changes. I would highly recommend.

More than good mileage

I would purchase this car again and again. It's a great body style. My dad is 6'5" and can ride comfortably in the front seat. Great gas mileage. I'm consistently between 44-49. It has some pep to it and we decided to keep it even after getting an SUV because its just so great of a car. Regular maintenance only.

This car consumes less gas and produces more value

It is a very nice car. I know this because I have been driving this car for over four years and anybody who needs a less expensive and dependable car should consider buy it. The car parts are readily available from Toyota Dealers and it is inexpensive to keep and maintain this car.

300k+ Miles and No Problems

Bought this car several years ago out of a need to spend less money on gas, as I was traveling well over 100 miles to work every day. It performed wonderfully and never once had problems out of it. It takes $10 to fill it up from an empty tank, and that tank will drive for several days depending on how you drive. It's old now, 307 thousand miles on it, and it's only now beginning to hit the dust. I don't plan on fixing it, but I definitely plan on purchasing another in the future.

Reliable commuter car

I bought this 2008 car in 2014 at just under 100,000 miles. I still have not had any problems, it just has been a steady, reliable car for me. Of course, the power is not like the other, more powerful models, and when I go up on a steep hill, the car is pushing a little harder than usual. But other than that, I have no issue with freeways or the regular roads. My car is the base type, so the armrest does not have much cushion and that's where I wish I had a little more comfort but it's no biggie to me.

Great 1st car for the new generation.

Parents own the car but ive been driving it off and on for the last 2+ years and would give it a solid 9/10 just due the plastic bumpers.
