I love this car, if I could find one just like it with 50K miles, I'd buy it today! I bought it for $5000 in 2002, and still drive it every day. It let me sit once in all that time, and that was when my distributor cap went out... otherwise, it just keeps going and going...

Great car, Good performance, Toyota quality, Excellent handling (really couldn't be better), Quite a range on fuel economy (depends heavily on driving habits). Capable of getting 40mpg with pulse + coasting, or it can get 27 if it's being kept in the powerband frequently. Same 2.2L 5S-FE out of the similarly aged Camry 4cyl. Makes about 135-140hp. Turbo models have the 3S-GE (same as Celica All-Trac [makes around 200hp stock tuned]). 5 speed is geared surprisingly low (higher on Turbo models), 120mph top speed at redline, which places 80mph at 4000 rpm. Exhaust gets loud at 3,500 rpms, so highway driving is loud. Front end can "bob" at high speeds. Handling is exceptional. If driven properly, it will take corners with an Elise, and out turn R34s, Supras, and C5/C6s due to weight. Handling does not feel "planted", however, especially in high speed corners the suspension will give a surprisingly light feel. At high speeds, the car is not nearly as stable because of the weight distribution, light weight, and stiff suspension. Increased downforce (especially front) is necessary to achieve high top speeds. Extreme attention must be paid in cornering to achieve maximum apex speeds. Suspension does a good job of communicating with the driver [mainly through the seat, but also through the wheel (more so at high speeds)]. 1993+ suspension adjustments greatly decrease any "loose feeling" of the rear end caused by the unusual weight distribution (41/59). Front and especially rear sways are a must, along with stiff struts (front and back). Slalom speeds are exceedingly quick. Note: Keeping a smooth line in a corner is very important (especially at high speeds), as any quick adjustments to the front's position will be greatly increased in the rear. This can cause "snap" understeer, which the car is notorious of. This car may just be the best handling car in the world, but if anything it could be the hardest to drive.
