How it scores for you10 scores
Ultra-short, easy to park, and Toyota-dependable — comfort, pace, and usable space all pay dearly for that microcar footprint.
Not enough recall data to judge yet, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road. Adjusted +7 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $1,750 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 80% of cars we track.
3.5 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the hatchbacks we track.
The 3+1 layout seats three in a pinch; the fourth chair is theoretical.
Darty and easy in town; the CVT drone and 94 hp make anything beyond city limits a chore.
Standard Bluetooth audio was about it; clever packaging, minimal equipment.
Choppy short-wheelbase ride and constant powertrain noise at speed.
Typical resale value for a hatchback.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
