Two versions of one 1.8-litre engine, and three transmissions to put them through. The standard 2ZR-FE is rated 132 hp at 6,000 rpm and 128 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm; the LE Eco grade gets the 2ZR-FAE, which adds Valvematic and is rated 140 hp at 6,100 rpm and 126 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm — more power and less torque than the engine it sits above. Most grades use the CVTi-S, the S grade could be had with a six-speed manual, and the base L grade kept a four-speed automatic, which is the detail a listing will not tell you.

Complaint and recall counts from NHTSA, retrieved 2026-08-13. A complaint count is not a failure rate — it scales with how many were sold and how much attention a problem drew.
Community and source review
The alternator charges the battery while the engine runs and powers everything electrical. Both are consumable parts with a service life, and on a used car at least one of them has usually been replaced already — or is due.
The compressor is the pump in the air conditioning loop. When it seizes it can send metal debris through the whole system, which turns a component replacement into a system job.
Bushings, ball joints, link rods and strut mounts are rubber and grease components that wear continuously. They rarely fail suddenly; they get gradually noisier and vaguer, which is why a test drive on a rough road tells you more than one on smooth pavement.
A continuously variable transmission transmits torque through a steel belt or chain running between two variable-diameter pulleys. It depends on a specific fluid and on the clamping pressure between belt and pulley, which makes fluid condition central to its condition.
The clutch is a wear item on any manual car. What changes the arithmetic is the dual-mass flywheel fitted to many modern engines: when it is worn it is replaced with the clutch, and it is the more expensive half of the job.

Manufacturer documents for the year range, body styles, engines and transmissions above. Complaint and recall counts are separate: they come from NHTSA per model year and carry their own retrieval date on the vehicle files.
