- Reliability (4)Boasts legendary Toyota longevity, though some early 2001 units suffered from ECU issues that affected transmission shifting.
- Maintenance (5)Parts are inexpensive and widely available, and the mechanical simplicity makes it one of the easiest vehicles to service DIY.
- Technology (2)Extremely dated by today's standards, offering little more than a basic CD/cassette player and manual climate controls.
- Comfort (3)The cabin is functional with good visibility, but road noise is prominent and the rear seating is somewhat cramped for adults.
- Dynamics (4)Handling is surprisingly car-like and agile for a compact SUV, though the 2.0L engine provides only modest acceleration.
