They are biblically reliable, and they drive pretty sharp but they’re not really a car you’d hoon down a backroad like you might a 3 series. Elephant in the room is the CVT gearbox that everyone mentions on a Toyota hybrid. it’s not bad at all, but does kinda take from the driving fun a bit - but it doesn’t ruin the car by any stretch. Infotainment is varying degrees of clunky - depending on which version the particular car has. All in all, I think it’s a genuinely enjoyable car, it’s got great character, it’s economical and they’re generally well equipped.
