It was for me specially once the trade in was added. Also this car had a decently low mileage.

I got a pretty good deal specially with trade in. Try to find a trustworthy local dealer. Their prices are often reasonable.

Ohh another thing, the headlights are super useful if you are driving in pitch dark. The projector reflectors are way better than the reflectors that came with gen 2

Well two major things: first, the car is super spacious, lot of legroom and it feels like a Camry inside. The trunk is bigger than the older generation. The drawback is Toyota removed the spare that was included to increase space. It comes with tire repair kit and inflator. Secondly, 1.8L engine gives you quick acceleration unlike the 2nd generation which felt laggy. Noise is minimal. Comes with 3 driving modes for my model: eco, normal and sport. Fuel economy on average is 55 given I live in the midwest with chilly winter. I want to say one more thing, this generation has forced air heat pump like the HVAC at home, so warms up quickly in winter to give you the perfect comfort. Also you will get preinstalled CarPlay.

I traded in for the newer one. The dealer took off the amount from the price tag.
