I bought this car in Texas after leaving NY in 2004. We drove 30,000 miles around the South looking for a place to land and ended up back on the east coast in Appalachia. Love this car! After 20 years it has 75,000 miles on it with normal oil changes and grease jobs only. I put a cold air blower on it by Toyota Racing for an extra 10 horse power when I bought it for another $400 and we hauled tons of flatpack furniture and kitchen cupboard stuff from IKEA thru the mountains of Maryland with NO PROBLEM! This car is fantastic and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I am going to run it into the ground while taking care of it. Who needs the latest untested junk?

Best rear legroom of any car on the market. A little bouncy until you add a passenger(s). Best engine and year of any Scion made.

I purchased one of the very first Scions back in 2004. It was very reasonably priced. They had a set price and there was no haggling. It was not a sports car by any means but I figured it would get me back and forth to work and was extremely comfortable! It was also great for putting in a lot of supplies that I needed for my work. I loved that car and people use to stop me at traffic lights and parking lots to ask me what it was. It looked like a box. People teased me for years calling it many different names including the box, the refrigerator and many others. It was unique to say the least. I drove that car for over 14 years and only had 108,000.00 miles on it. The only problems that I ever had with it was that it was literally falling apart. My husband decided that I needed a new car so we had to trade it in for a Kia Soul. I cried when I left it but I am glad that I finally got a new car.
