since it's a toyota....
I'm pretty sure reliability is not an issue.

Which car are you talking about. The xA or the tC? If your looking for power, dont bother with the xA or xB, only 108hp, good gas mileage though(31mpg). Ive driven the xB, and they are pretty slow. The tC has decent power with 160hp, compared to the others.

I've heard from an xB owner that the interiors are done on the cheap, with a couple things breaking and factory mounted toggle switches unlit and placed in odd places. I imagine that the drivetrains are solid though and you can't hate the price. Also, do a search, I think there may be more on the subject around here somewhere.

I would say steer clear, anything marketed that heavily has to be making up for something. That plus the ones that I've seen on the street all already are losing little peices of trim.

They feel very much like a shoody version of a solid car.

the xB is trash. I've driven in one the day after it was purchased and it felt like it was gonna fall apart. The tC looks like a real winner though. It's a great value for the money. I can't test drive one because they're all on order out here.

My friend just got one. rode in it for the day while he was in town. power is ok, inside was nice. and with room to spare with three people all over six foot. all in all it was a nice ride, power was on the low end but with the factory supercharger that should be solved.

power isn't so impressive on xC, that i've experienced.

The tC drives and feels better built then the xB that I've driven. The tC is similar to the celica. There already are turbo kits and aftermarket suspension options for it.

cant stand the look of the xB so i wont waste my time on that.

the tC looks pretty bad ass and my mom works over at a toyota proving ground so she sees them all the time and she says they are pretty good cars. i wouldnt mind owning one. also they are pretty cheep.
