Big . Easy to drive. Comfortable.

Nice car. I'm disappointed that Toyota stop selling them in the country. Perfect car for family with two kids. Would recommend to all my friends .

A bland, but great "Sport-Wagon" SUV.

Roomy, quiet, well-equipped, good MPG( I had the venerable 2.7L 4cyl.) with a decent exterior profile. NO maintenance/reliability issues whatsoever. Did have a couple interior rattle/squeaks I had to find/fix with some felt spacers.

Most reliable car I?ve ever owned

This car meets all of my needs: it has plenty of space, legroom, storage, pickup, style (I think, but I?m not sure many others share that view) and fuel efficiency (even with a 260 hp V6 under the hood). It is fun to drive, has all the bells and whistles (Limited trim level) for a 2012 model. I really love this car, even if the interior quality is not excellent, but absolutely acceptable. It?s such a shame they discontinued making it!

Best car I ever owned

This was the perfect vehicle at a time with a newborn since I had four out of five stars NHTS safety ratings. The cargo space is more than my husbands large SUV and four cylinders I didn?t have a huge gas bill.

Recently Purchased Used

I?m not sure how this vehicle escaped my attention before, but I?m happy to have learned about it while recently shopping for a used car. So far, I am delighted with my purchase. It is comfortable, drove beautifully in recent bad winter weather, is smart looking and has the Toyota dependability. I intend to continue driving this vehicle for years!

A great crossover

As a Camry lover, this car was a big upgrade without straying too far from what I was used to. It's a beautiful car, it feels solid and drives well, and the performance is great. My two gripes: 1) I don't like the display. It's big, poorly lit, and looks dated. 2) Under dash area on driver's side is a little tight--maybe because the chassis are stretched into an SUV from a car.
