Excellent – This has been the best car I've ever owned. I will be very sad to see it go as my main car, but it eventually has to happen. As new safety features become available, cars with them become the safer and more logical choice. I bought the prototype Sirion from 1998. In the last 12 years, it has only stopped once due to a flat battery, and I kind of knew I should've changed it a week before. This car has done 212,000 and I'm planning to run it to around 250,000 before retiring it to a farm car. It spent the first 9 years of its life as a city car and comfortably plies the highways now at 110kph, day after day. Its pros are economy, reliability, interior space for driver (nice high roof), seat comfort, boot versatility and character. Not too much. Adjustable steering height would've been nice but you get used to it. Also, the '98 model had no air con or power steering and came with a cassette deck, but I have no regrets at all. This was the only model to come with 4 electric windows wihch has kept me cool.
