A member in Colorado, United States
Powertrain performance
Super power pick up with turbo and smooth shifting automatic.
Handling
Responsive handing
Safety & braking
Every possible safety system standard equimpent except rear curtin air bags which are only a $350 option. Short stopping distances with good brake feel.
Fuel economy
Average 24 MPG in mostly city driving so far.
Reliability & durability
Minor problems so far such as driver information computer information screen showing inaccurate readings, example reading for average miles per gallon bouncing around from 78 to 08.
Price or payments
My turbo four cost $26,000 with just rear side air bags, heated seats and floor mats as options. About $3500 over a similar Camry and Honda four.
