 Detailed review:
Good buy for the money. Long legged people do not buy it(6 feet tall). It has not enough leg room and you will get cramps. Great performance because of the VVT-i technology. Responds quikly to acceleration, shame it has only 130 Hp. Fuel economy is superb. I live in South FL and ,I drive 80 milles a day, and the tank(12.5 gall) last me for 6 days,mostly high way(remember to change oil and air filter). Factory suspension is ok. I'm more of an sports driver so I drop it with TRD springs(1.25' drop)and added 18' alloys rims. From these two I got stiff as hell suspension and amazing grip(360 ramps at 60-70 mph), considering my tires are H rated. The interior is superb and really detailed. Engine is not quiet(compared with a BMW), but it is not that noisy, I have seen worst. Air noise is a little bit of a problem at 70-80 mph. I drive every day from 65 to 85 mph. the mechanical conditioin is amazing and never had any problems with it. The car has 25000 milles on it. To check it go to my web page and good luck, it is a great buy. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/416052
