Pros

Great on gas - peppy - and easy to park in a crowded parking lot or downtown during a busy business week. I have no complaints on this car. It has been great so far.

Cons

No real cons - for what the vehicle is - it's perfect.

Great Car! — This vehicle has really held it's value. When I bought it new, the value actually went UP when I drove it off the lot. I get tons of compliments on the vehicle and it has been really great so far. As a small car - I've been amazed several times by how much this vehicle can hold in it when the back seats are laid down. Wow!

Love It. — Performance: I would have to say that I enjoy the overall performance from my vehicle, it has great handling, fun to drive, and was definitely a good buy fora college student. Build: The only repair that I did have to do on the car so far was to get new rotors, but that was easily fixable. Appearance: I love the exterior of the car, though I hope to myself get tinted windows I couldn't be happier with the 'edginess' this car seems to have. Cost of Ownership: The gas milage in mine is absolutely fantastic, driving manual with highway driving I get around 40MPG, and around town I usually get 36 - 38 MPG. Excellent.

I love the iPod connection and the gas milage is great.

Cons

Looks a little goofy to some, but I love it

Dad's Car — The handling is nice, and my dad took the iPod connection over cruise control (he never uses it anyways) so it has a killer speaker system. Decent "get up and go" to it.

Wonderful Scion — This car get about 31mpg in the city and that is me not being easy on the throttle. Has some decent pick up for only 101hp but very light and nimble. Great build quality and spacious. Low maintenance. All you have to do is oil change oil change and oil change.

38 MPG - What more can I say?

Cons

Small engine - only 1.5L

Girls Just Want To Have Fun — The car is fun to drive overall, but the handling could definitely do with improving. I must say that I am spoiled with my previous car being a MINI Cooper S and that had amazing everything! But overall, I am happy with this car. It does 38mpg and is good to run. It has some fun features and I can definitely personalize it which is a plus.

Oooo La La — I LOOOOVE this car. It gets fantastic gas mielage- averaging at least 30 mpg! I loved it from the first moment I saw it. Her name is Darling Darla and she is a DIVA! She is sooo much fun to drive. She handles like a dream and can scoot into ANY space, no matter how the idiots in the surrounding spaces have parked.

cute, reliable, great MPG and it was CHEAP!!!!

Cons

kinda slow when you have 5 people, 1 dog and are trying to accelerate up a hill :-)  We drive in the right lane much more than we used to... lol

It Gets Over 30 Mpg! — cute car that is fun to drive and faster than you would think. we love to shove all of our kids in the back and go for rides with the windows down and the radio blasting. The kids actually love this car even though they are snuggled closely in the back. No complaints, believe it or not. (..but yet they would complain when we had a DVD player in the car. Go figure..)

Not That Bad A Car... By Matt

This is a very easy and fun car to upkeep. it doesn't have lot of power, but if it did, I can't say I would be here. It's a sharp looking car but it's on the cheap side when it comes to the build. ... Read More
