It's innovative, but boring and spiritless. A fuel efficient, reliable runabout.

Toyotas - boring or ugly (take the pick), with an image of the infamous "Fridges on Wheels", could say underpowered, but that's not an be-all-and-end-all factor due to the tighter enforcement of speed limits and a crack-down of 'hooning'.

HOWEVER:
They're economical, refined, reliable (watch for the South African built Corollas at least), well built, solid pieces of machinery.

Anyway, congrats mate, hope you have good, solid, reliable motoring from a car from a company who's built a reputation as mentioned. No doubts you should be happy with it.

Pics when you get it!!!
