Summary
What does this car say about you?
Its not an obvious fast car, but at the high rev pulls really well - not quite a sleeper but as good as. Quite reserved.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Like it, it is a sexy car overall.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, but I would consider the compressor and get the power across the range with the added super charger.
What are you likely to buy next?
Possibly a younger compressor, I have the fast car bug!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fuel economy is ok, I get 33/34mpg (which is more than the 32mpg stated by Toyota). But at the higher revs the economy goes out of the window - but who cares is sounds amazing and holds the road well.
What's it like to park?
Easy, its still a little car at heart!
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Rear brakes needed changing, but that is normal wear and tear. No problems!
What's most practical about your car?
Decent boot for a hot hatch and the space in the cabin is good.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
VVTL-i is amazing at 6200 rpm.
