Here's TOTAL economy, for a GREAT price! I am the second owner of this car. I bought it from a Toyota dealer and the car is Toyota CERTIFIED. The previous owner had regularly brought it in to the Toyota dealer for maintenance and oil changes. When I drove it home, it had 19,000 miles on it, and the other 11,000 miles came from 100% highway driving. I've done all the maintenance to the car myself since I've had it. I've rotated the tires a couple times and changed the oil every 5,000 miles with fully synthetic Pennzoil Ultra. I never used crappy filters either, always went with Toyota OEM.
This car needs NOTHING! I've very particular with vehicles and I've babied it and taken care of it. I regularly hand wash it with Meguiars Ultimate wash and have hand waxed it twice since owning it. I've always used rubber floor mats with the car as well, so no heel rubbing through the carpet. This car is a NON SMOKER! I've always used a sheet over the drivers side door to reduce the chance of shearing on the seat, which there is non. The car is small, which is GREAT for parking, but there is PLENTY of space inside for cargo or passengers. I am 6' and there is PLENTY of leg room and head room left. The rear is VERY roomy as well, you can easily fit a 6'+ person in the back. The back seats can fold down and create a large cargo space in the rear. There are no burns, rips, stains, etc. with the interior. This model wasn't equipped with power windows or locks, which I like, there are no motors to burn out.
The gas mileage is AMAZING in this car. Since it's a 5 speed, you can really squeeze out as much MPG's as possible. The transmission feels very good and tight, just as it should for having only 30,000 miles on it. Here's a list of my MPG on every fill up since I've owned it:

The car feels great on the highway and doesn't sway around at all. I've had ZERO problems with this car and it's actually been rated as one of the most reliable cars in the world. It has a very basic 1.5 L engine that is VERY easy to work on.
$11,200 takes it home!
I can't really think of anything else to say about it at the moment, so if you think of something, just ask. You can give Joe (me) a call at ANY TIME at Two.1.Nine.5.Ten.2.8.8.Eight. If I don't answer, please leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks!!
