Positive Review

"Best car I have ever owned!"

I bought this car used (one year old in 2007 with 12,000 miles). I am the 2nd owner. Now it has approximately 233,000 miles. The best gas mileage I ever got in it was 38 mpg, but I usually average 32. I've replaced the alternator and battery twice, recently replaced the shocks/struts and a few minor things besides maintenance. It has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I've never had a problem with the motor or transmission (mine is an automatic). If they made this vehicle again, I would definitely buy it! I was sad to learn that Scion will be not be making vehicles after this year.

Amazing! Reliable
Pros

Reliable, roomy, Toyota engine

Cons

Not made anymore

Bought used at 107k miles now have 220k miles and still going strong! Still drives and shifts smooth. Only ever needed to change starter other than regular maintenance. Not the fastest, but comfortable and will get you to point A to point B.

Very solid vehicle
Pros

Fun to drive, light car, great storage,reliability

Cons

no keyless entry

These are made in Japan by Toyota, and it's insane how long they can go. I have one at 113k and it amazes me how well it still runs. I haven't had a single issue with any part of the car

Great value for money
Pros

Cheap, efficient handles well, dependable

Cons

Road noise, ac fan, rides hard on rough roads

This was meant to be a temp car, bought used for $3500 cash 175k miles. I'm at 350k now used for a couple of years as courier car, 100- 1000 miles per day. I use high mileage synthetic fuel to keep seals and valves fluffy. Outside of normal maintenance I've only replaced Oem evap system to pass inspection @325k, and new tie rods last week@348k. At this point it I am curious how long it will last... I will drive it till the "wheels fall off" Not bad for a temp car.
