the 3E-E engine is not your typical toyota, reliability issues abound. the paseo would be a bit better, the twin cam 4E-FE is supposed to be more stout.

if you were able to keep one together, though, it might be a good car to chase down all those civic wagons.

by the way, if anyone actually cares - I think I have a solution for the VW new beetle ITC 16x6 wheel availability problem.
