I'd never thought I'd buy a new car, but Toyota made it awfully easy to do. A roomy, comfortable, well-equipped and fuel efficient car for under $15k? Done. I went with the automatic transmission, cruise, armrest and power package and haven't had a single regret in the six months I've tooted around in it since. Add to that an average of 33mpg (mostly in town - normally 30mpg in-town and 45+ highway), and the cost of ownership stays mighty low.

Most surprising about this subcompact is how much more pep it packs than similarly sized cars. Punch the gas and it zips off! The interior is beautifully designed and sports more room than seems possible when looking from outside. Driver and passengers have more leg and headroom than a sedan and the back seat comfortably seats 3... or folds flat for 25 cubic feet of space.

Comfortable to sit in, fun to drive, excellent equipment options (definitely recommend the power package), great fuel economy and tons of room - there really is no downside to this sub $15,000 car.
