Positive Owner Reviews

The car is extremely heavy on the gas and you will find yourself regularly in the gas station.
I love the amount of luxury it has, and the drop dead gorgeous looks. It makes a wonderful growl when you accelerate. It has many possibilities for customization.

A reliable, fun, fast car that gets you to your destination in style!
Great, reliable, fun fast car! Can be your fun daily driver, getting to your destination in style. From the sport-shift automatic, to the comfort of heated seats; you'll fall in love with your commute and have more energy after the haul is over. Make sure you stay on maintenance and keep the tank full with the high end premium brand and you'll be rewarded with fantastic performance.

Reliable, fun to drive and easy to maintain
The vehicle is reliable and haven't had many issues with the car. Mostly maintenance and repairs due to the age of the car.
accountCircle Lance K
Lots of room and rides great.
Its big enough for the family. It comes factory with a Toyota supra 2jz motor. The only dislike I have is that its automatic and not 5 speed manual.

It has butt warmers. They keep you nice and toasty in the winter. Also it is very easy to operate and is a very durable car.
I like the comfort and the look of the car, I don't like that it's a little older and not as energy efficient as it could be

Metallic blue with black interior and GPS navigation system
Handles very well, sports sedan is comfortable yet sporty for those who like power and speed in a compact car.
accountCircle Sara A
It is really touchy on the gas.
I like how it drives smooth. I am not a fan of all the buttons. It is confusing to figure out. I like the size.
accountCircle Courtney D
My vehicle is luxurious and elegant. Good for both man and woman.
The car has excellent performance, good speed power and good mileage. It is durable and reliable. I cannot imagine driving any other vehicle. The size of the car and the extra room it provides in the backseat are the perfect size for any single or family driver.
