 I would simply suggest anyone buying one pay particular attention to the automatic transmission.  It is computer driven and you notice the transmission not engaging when it should after turns and when you start again say at a light and have not come to a complete stop.  This could easily leave you in a vulnerable spot when you least expect it.  Check Edmunds.com and read the complaints.  Buyer beware as Toyota and the dealer will leave you high and dry with the phrase normal characteristic.
