 Favorite feature:

Drivetrain refinement coupled with good performance and excellent fuel economy.

 Least favorite feature:

Interior quality glitches which includes a truly lousy radio stereo system and driver position.

 Advice to buyer:

The mechanical quality is superb BUT be sure the driver is truly comfortable. VERY awkward driver ergonomics.

 Detailed review:

My first Toyota automobile. Transmission and engine performance are flawless. Disappointing interior quality with a definitely awkward driving position for over 6 foot tall drivers. Left side drivers footwell has awkward foot placement. Handling very good. Braking with ABS acceptable cannot think of this vehicle without it. I am not an audiophile but the radio upgrade is junk! Ride very good with exceptional MPG. Averaging 34MPG over 13K miles! There should be a remote trunk release on the keyfob! A solid refined vehicle but noticeable driver ergonomic quirks.
