Don waste your money

120k miles. Still own it. Can provide a list of at least 15 unnecessary and costly repairs at least. From rust in the front fenders to damage ripped vinyl upholstery in the driver seat ( i weight 160lbs and i am 5.4 feet tall ), speed module ( $1200 ), new starter ($600) sunroof disfunction ( disconnected fuse to avoid problems ) front wheel bearing, i phone glove compartment connection worked one time only, air heating motor diverter changed, supporting bar for radiator broke, no dealer sales the locking nut key for the rims, always a light bulb somewhere needs to be replaced, i know i am forgetting more issues. My 2004 Toyota Zero issues. Invest your money.

Have not had it long enough to tell how reliable i

It would have been a good buy if the upholtsery was not coming a loose and the brakes and rotors were fixed before I purchased it.

Most reliable car I have owned.

I love this vehicle but I have to sell it to get a truck for work purposes. Drives amazing, never had any major issues at all. Just changed the oil a week ago and put a new battery in it.

Very comfortable, smooth ride

This car is far nicer and better on gas than I originally had expected. Drives smooth and doesn’t hurt your wallet. Has many features and is a joy to drive.

My favorite car!!!

This was my favorite car. Very reliable and super fun to drive! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an everyday car, or a car to take you on a road trip. Good for everything! Especially a manual version.

Most reliable car I've owned

This car has met all of my needs. I've now purchased a brand new car, simply because I have a newborn and need more space.
