6 speed manual, 170 hp, great gas mileage, I average 27 mpg with a mixture of city and hwy driving. MPG is closer to 30 mpg if I drive alot of freeway. Definitely more fun to drive than a regular Corolla since it has a sports tuned suspension which is noticeably stiffer than the regular model.

Pros: Fun to drive, great gas mileage
Cons: only has a 6 speed manual, some people might not like that. I love it.

Good acceleration, braking and handling for city driving...
Enough to leave a Honda Civic in dust...
Great fun to drive
Expensive accidental repairs, otherwise cheap to maintain...
Not gorgeous but smart looking
Build quality is quite decent, better than most Japanese cars, but half as good as a German car

Pros: Everything
Cons: accidental repairs (stolen rear view mirrors cost a fortune)

THis is a fun little car. Not to mention kinda rare it
was a limited production model. It's handling is
very predictable, the 6-speed Manual shifts
smoothly. Thanks to the 2ZZ-GE it has under the
hood, which by the way is the same engine as the
Celica. This car can get up and go pretty darn
quick. And it can slow down just as quick with the
4-wheel Anti-lock Discs Brakes. Of course it has
the bullet-proof reliability of any Toyota. It is a
little sportier looking then just any Corolla. The only
down side I have found is the need for Premium
Fuel.

Pros: Performance, Reliability, Fun
Cons: Premium  Fuel

I like the milage, the lack of road noise as I drive, the awesome brake and gas response, and the general low price of fixing 'er up. I dislike that it is not a fully electric car.

I got the pleasure of driving this car down in Florida, while on vacation. And let me tell you this is the worst car I've ever driven. The car was built way too light even with 4 adults in the car if there was any wind the car was all over the place. The car has very little power and it makes you wonder how this car even survives with much better looking cars that don't have problems with wind blowing it all over the place.

Pros: None
Cons: Everything about it sucks. No power, built way too light, etc....

Super fun to drive! Weaves in and out of traffic well. Acceleration is lacking on entrance ramps, but once it's going it goes! Not too comfortable for super long trips, but for zipping around town you can't beat it :D

Pros: this car is AWESOME
Cons: weak acceleration on entrance ramps
