This car has almost 200,000 miles on it and it's still running really well. It has needed the standard repairs (brake pads, tires, oil changes), but nothing major. The one problem I've had so far was when a random squirrel chewed through the fuel line. Because the car is made so the fuel tank isn't easily accessible, what would have been a cheap and easy repair cost almost $500. The interior is very good quality for the price of the model. After ten years there are no lasting stains, tears, or bad wear on any of the upholstery. The outside is also pretty good, although the hubcaps are very low quality plastic that pop on to the wheel. They pop off really easily (highway driving) and are relatively expense to replace each time. Eventually I gave up and now have no hubcaps.

We purchased this vehicle used from a friend. Everything I've heard about Toyotas being a reliable car were proven for us with this vehicle. It's a standard, so I'm the only one in our family who can drive the vehicle, but we knew that when we purchased. The seats are very comfortable with easy access to the trunk/fuel release. It has started up with no problem for the three years we've owned it and has good pick up. It is not a fast car, but it gets the job done. We purchased this as a second car when my husband and I were both working, and now it's the main mode of transportation for my young son and myself. I'd say this is probably a good car for most people but especially for college students or newly married individuals. It's fine for smaller babies, but once a child's legs have grown past their car seats, it starts to feel small. The trunk is a great size, and the spare tire is easy to access. As previously said, I'd 100% recommend this car to young adults, or young marrieds, but probably wouldn't for people with kids. Essentially, this is a great first car!
