Yes 100%. This car is a dream to own and drive. It's low maintenance, cheap to insure, good fuel economy, looks great, drives great, is reliable and everything works as it should. It's just so much fun!

Handles like a dream whether driving at low speed in town or belting down the motorway. Ride inspires confidence. This is an easy car to drive and brings a smile to your face every time you start it up.

What's it like to park?

No problems - rear visibility is good and wing mirrors offer extra wide view.

Have you had any problems with the car?

So far so good, which is a first for me where cars are concerned. But then, this is a Toyota, so I expect it to last forever!

Reasonable insurance - £340 pa fully comp, hard top is great - no leaks, plus I'm getting 41mpg from it and use it everyday commuting to work.

Hard top is practical, has heated rear screen and is great for winter, plus I love the red leather seats.
