- Reliability (4)Legendary Toyota longevity, though this specific model year is prone to oil consumption issues in the 2.4L four-cylinder engine.
- Maintenance (5)Extremely affordable to maintain with widely available parts and a simple mechanical design that most shops can service easily.
- Technology (2)Very basic interior tech even for 2009; lacks modern connectivity, with most units only offering a simple CD player and auxiliary jack.
- Comfort (5)Boasts a very spacious cabin with plush seating and excellent sound insulation, making it ideal for long commutes.
- Dynamics (3)The ride is tuned for softness rather than agility; steering feels disconnected and there is significant body roll during cornering.
