Toyota has done a fine job of squeezing maximum passenger space out of a small overall package. Generous room is provided for the driver and front-seat passenger, both of whom sit on comfortable seats. The rear seat, as is
common to cars in this class, is rather less commodious. With two occupants it is a reasonable habitat--lacking
in both leg- and headroom for taller passengers--but three riders had best be good friends. Cupholders, storage
boxes and a center-console with a lidded bin are provided for convenience.
The interior design matches the exterior insofar as it's attractive and well-finished but little different
than that of most cars in the class. Instruments are housed in a curved dashboard; a tachometer is added in an
optional Touring Package. Controls are laid out for easy use.
Materials and workmanship are above average, though a few of our passengers found the cloth seat material,
which looks attractive and should be durable, rather scratchy on bare skin.
Our LE model carried just about every conceivable option, which gave us use of a good four-speaker sound system, air conditioning, power windows, mirrors and door locks and a glass sunroof. Opinions were divided on the white instrument faces that are part of the Touring Package.
