You will appreciate it more in the long run. Mine is 5 years old and at 90,000 km. Still runs like new, and the only parts replaced by an authorized workshop were the air con compressor clutch, alternator belt and radiator fan motor -- they are made by Denso. The engine is still purring smoothly. A very reliable car indeed.

I bought a second hand 2007 1.3 VIOS last year from my brother who is a salesman for a pharmaceutical company - it's actually his former company car. It's got a flat battery & some scratches here & there... etc. Believe me, it's already gone 120,000 km since 27 Nov 2007 (got the original papers). But general performance to date is still very satisfactory. It's awesome.
