 Favorite feature:

great I6 motor that has plenty of potential

 Least favorite feature:

Hood support stick and small 17's ;) Bumped it up to 19's

 Advice to buyer:

Buy a hood prop kit at www.figsprops.com, get the LSD, Get Dunlops if possible, the auto is good for 350HP but the manual is going to crap out on you if you add more power.

 Detailed review:

Well, I got mine in Jul. '00 and it has never let me down since. With 85K miles its still drives great. It is a wonderfull car in the snow with michelin pilot alpins. I formerly compete pro in snowboarding and this was my snow car. I chose to mod it up with suspension and engine enhancements to the tune of 293RWHP and 247RWTQ and it now is more the car I wanted initally. Overall a great car with now problems that I can blame on toyota. Reliability is top notch.
