General Comments:

This is an excellent car for every day use, it's very economical and reliable

It will take you every where you want and will never let you down. The engine is fantastic very supple and has good mid range torque, excellent for town.

This car is very fast compared to other cars of it's category, it will beat a golf gt until 100 km/h or an Audi A3 (1.8 20v), good fun in town or in small roads.

Fuel consumption is peanuts!!

Spares parts are quite expensive, but you rarely need to change parts.

This is a perfect car for those who need a reliable car that will never brake down (it's a Toyota!!), or as a first car!
