I have an 01 so it is not your exact year but I wll not buy another. I get about 25 mpg at best. OEM Bridgestone tires were shot after 18k miles. The Bridgestones handled poorly in rain and light snow and the recommended replacement Kelleys while better in the rain are noisy and still poor in light snow. Maybe I have just not found the right tire. Both rear wheel bearings needed to be replaced after about 23K. I have heard that is a common problem. The car has very low milage (43K) and has not been run into the ground. I do like the boxer engine a lot - a lot of pickup for a 4 and the AWD.
Materials/components in the car's interior are cheap or of poor quality. My clock and the auto dimming mirror died a few years back. I've never had this kind of stuff happen with any Toyotas I've owned.
