Living with it
Reliability
Excellent Toyota build quality. Regular servicing every 6k miles is a must, plus cam belt change at 60k.
Image
Hugely desirable and popular amongst enthusiasts.
Comfort
A smooth and grippy ride with sports seats which hold you in place when cornering.

Security and Service
Security
Standard security is poor. Aftermarket Cat 1 alarm/immobiliser is highly recommended.

Very good.
