| What things have gone wrong with the car? | Yucky burgundy interior body rust expensive import parts (brakes should have cost over $1200) small backseat and no back leg room | |
| General comments? | Reliable little car, she has quite a personality! It's got a sunroof that doesn't work, the passenger door light is always on (I need to glue a little piece of plastic onto the button), the emergency brake needs a new cable but she's wonderful. I park in the middle of a huge, wide open parking lot in the country with no shelter for it and every morning in -20 degree celsius weather all I have to do is pump the gas once and she starts up no problem. The body was fixed up before I got it so it looks nice on the outside. I've driven the crap out of this car and it refuses to break down! I've put 60,000 kms on it in the past 15 months had the oil changed, every 3000kms, and she's been wonderful! Unfortunately the guy who sold it to me is a bit of an a$$-hole so I had to get the brakes completely replaced. $1000 for front and back. OUCH! Things I've done to my car: new brakes - $900 new headlight and indicator bulb - $12 new exhaust front to back - $200-ish! new ball joint on front driver side - $300 and about to have the fuel filter replaced - $140 incl. labour and taxes from Toyota dealer. The tires have barely been worn in the past years. This is a great little car! However time is her worst enemy as the floor and wheel wells are beginning to rust out so driving in the rain is always an adventure! | |
| Previous car | none, but if I had to buy this car again I wouldn't hesitate for a second. | |
