For a basic daily driver, sure.
Skip the TRD blower, for $4K they are robbing you blind.

I'm not wild on the looks of the car, but there are worse designs on the market.

I wouldn't buy it with the intention of starting any sort of serious motor build, however

Isn't it based on the same chassis as the Camry?

If it drives anything like a Camry, it will last forever (well at least until the power steering pump starts leaking fluid onto the exhaust manifold ), but it'll be about the most boring car to drive evAr.

Yeah, just looked it up, it's based on the Avensis, which is similar to the Corolla.
