Previous experience with Toyota indicates reliability to be well above average. And that has proven out over the first 15 months of ownership.
I like the versatility this design provides. Great for pets, or hauling a 14 cu. ft. refrigerator IF I needed.
Handles like a much more expensive sports car. But much easier to get in and out. Sticks in the curves at higher speeds, with virtually no body roll.
Runs out really strong to 100. Not much pep above that. Gear shift lever in perfect position to shift manually.
Dollar for dollar there is NO comparison to Kia, Hyundai etc. Much more solid/safe Car. Bears out by fact it weighs 3300+ lbs. Handles cross-winds very well. Have taken 2 trips out West. Handles wide-open spaces and mountains quite well.
