"Best small car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
False check Engine Light 150,000 km. Caused by dirty Mass Air Flow Sensor (common problem I found after web research) Spray with carburator ot brake cleaner to resolve (don't let Toyota replace!)
Power Steering Pump failed ~ 105,000km.
Wiper metal rusted 60,000km.
General comments?

Peppy.
Lots of room (6' driver with 6' rear passenger no problem)
Reliable.
Fuel Efficient.
Great visability.
Easy to park.
Superb sounding stock sound system.
I can also carry 10' long boards inside!
