Favorite feature: |
The rally car style manual transmission and the ROOM!!!! |
Least favorite feature: |
The upright seating makes it feel a bit like driving a mini-van |
Advice to buyer: |
Make sure the seating is ok for you and the view out the rear window is also suitable for you. |
Detailed review: |
WE got the standard model and it worked out great. We recently returned from a trip across country and we drove from seattle to chicago(across the rockies) and the car got btn 30-33 mpg ---30 over the mountains and 33 on the flat midwest roads. The car super comfortable and in fact we slept in the car two nights in a row. The fold down flat seats in the back make this car more comfortable than sleeping in a tent(which I love by the by) and I'm 6' 4' tall and could lay out flat in the back with the fold down seats. This car is great, but does lack a little when climbing the mountains in Montana, but not every car can be perfect. If you're looking for that super fast car this is NOT it, but if you want toyota reliability, safety, great gas milage that's not a hybrid, and a LOT OF ROOM in a compact car. This car is for you. |
