My mom has one. I love that little piece of shit hatch that will last a good generation or two. My mom is short and she loves the center mounted tack because it allows her better forward visibility. The seats are upright and almost like sitting on a stool which is great for a little old lady, as it helps them see outward easier. The outward view is amazing, which again, is great for a little old lady, I also like having zero blind spots. She is also kinda weak due to some health issues and that car is perfect for her. Everything is light and easy to move. Also, the short wheel base does feel nice. Not sporty but the turning circle is nice, its easy for her to maneuver in a parking lot without hitting other things. Its got tons of room, as most hatches do and it has enough power to, well, drive places. It will last forever, did I already say that? Its like an ugly wife that sure can cook. I love that little thing like I love any well designed appliance. But seriously, small crappy hatches have a special place in my heart.

Lool, wow.
Best review ever.
Thanks for being real and putting input in the trash bag trick!

I'd be stuck if they told me Prius or Yaris.
I'd ask for at least a Matrix or Corolla
wow, just checked AWD matrix is Only Auto, no Manual .. ????? Why.
there really is no toyota vehicle worthwhile

The AWD Matrix could be cool ride if it came with a stick but Toyota's product managers are a bunch of F.C.'s (fun cops).

The FR-S is literally the only thing a driving enthusiast would make a special trip to the dealership to try, and that's after 5 yrs without a Celica on the lots.

The TC doesn't do it for me. Felt heavy and hated the dumbass Sunroof that stole headroom.
