No. They are dismal, turgid piles of ste.

The snails as they overtake you, mainly.

Also fit and finish - don't believe that because it's a Toyota it will be well screwed together. They're built in Derby by East Midlanders. Mine (a company car, and one of the significant reasons I only stayed with that company for 9 months) had various problems with trim falling off, fuel filler that wouldn't accept fuel at more than a dribble (never resolved) fractured air-con pipes, flakey electrics... nothing major, but irritating in a car whose only redeeming feature was supposed to be bullet-proof reliability.
