| “My Dad's New Toyota” By: Matt56
My dad traded his Ford truck for this since gas keeps getting higher (ugh), I like it, my mom
Pros:
Surprisingly Spacious on the interior, comfortable seats=good for long trips, gauges are
easy on eyes, (instead of being bright red...Impreza STi...), 35mpg
Cons:
umm...well it doesn't have a ton of power, but thats not a big deal
around in the city. |
| “It's A Cheap Car Lets Face It But It Gets The Job Done And Done Cheaply” By: Paul4601
Overall I like it a lot, it doesn't have performance but I never expected it to. It has pretty good gas mileage and handles pretty well. It is very spacious which is also why I got it.
Pros:
Nice handling, cheap on gas expense.
Cons:
It's still cheap

Power is there but you have to spend a lot of time on the skinny pedal but what else would you expect from a 1.8L making 130 hp? I usually spend a lot of time in the driver's seat but I got to sit in the back row when my friend drove and wow, its really big and comfortable even with the front seats reclined. The sound system is great, I have the 5 disc with 6 speaker combination and the sound is crisp, although it could use a subwoofer. The height of the car is great for a great driving view, I can see everything on the road. At highway speeds, the car is a little noisy but I can blame that on the optional moonroof that I have, maybe a Wind reflector might come in handy in the future. The luggage area can hold a lot of bags as I've made a lot of visits to the airport to pick up friends. Gas mileage is iffy but I have a heavy right foot and I'm trying to fix that.
Pros:
Great low end torque, great sound system, large capacity
Cons:
Wide A pillar, Road Noise
