She bought it from Haley Toyota in Roanoke VA. Brand spankin new right of the boat in Red. The liftback looks so much better than the sedan. She got hers with 43 miles on the odo for 12400. Way over msrp for the liftback bt a good deal none the less.
My impressions
Looks: Ridiculously Cute. I just want to hug it everytime she comes to visit my wife and I
Features: Nice amenities, IPOD jack is great, quality interior. Excellent fit and finish. NO CRUISE CONTROL (but she does not use it anyway). Center guage cluster is dumb but big easy to read gauges make up for it. 4 awesome cupholders and 3 gloveboxes. Headroom is awesome. VERY roomy inside for a tiny car
Engine: 38 MPG highway!!!!!!!! Smooth motor. She got an auto trans. Very quiet, refined, typical toyota. 106 Hp, and as much torque as the little gnome under her hood can muster
Driving impressions: Not a racer, not a dragster but DARN FINE LITTLE PIECE of transportation. With some aggressive rubber, suspension mods and a turbo, I'd almost take this over a mini cooper. She gets compliments and double takes everywhere she drives.
Overall: I give it an 8/10. It's the perfect car for her. Shes 20 and graduating from college this saturday so the payments are nice and low with 2k down. I give it a thumbs up! Apart from those DUMB center gauges!
