It's hideous. And probably the worst quality car I have ever been in.

Its a toyota, so I automatically hate it lol. But seriously, I think some of them may have been involved in the sticking pedal recall, so you may want to do that research before she puts the money up for it

One of the guys I worked with in Atlanta had one. He had no issues and loved it.

My mom bought one new in 2003 I think. It's been a pretty reliable vehicle for her. I don't mind driving it either, it's not terrible.
