Now think about for 4K more you move from a super basic econobox to a "sports" car.

Now people always forget that quality always costs money.
Toyota made a reliable (decently), well made with decent material (not saying perfect, though i challenge you to find a perfect car), and ****FUN*** car at 25K.

I say they did a pretty good job.
For comparison, the 7th gen Celica GT-S and RSX Type S cost about $30k Canadian new. In 2001/2002. Factor in inflation, and that translates into $38,945 (according to inflation calculators).

So yeah - that's pretty cheap (in Canada, a new Limited costs about $31k CAD)
