damn, some people here with no car try to justify how good it is... you can't save every penny and take it with you, make your life more comfortable, you need a car no matter where you live (even in downtown) unless you want to be bored to death and not go anywhere other they grocery store beside you. What if you want to take a girl out? or go to the beach ? or go to different mall? or visit your friends? or go to the cottage? etc etc, you can't ride a bus all the time
Damn, some people here with car try to justify how good it is... to each his own, I say. We're much happier with our extra money than we were with a car, for others the reverse may be true. If you live in the city, transit/biking/walking/Zipcars/rental cars can be even more convenient than having your own car. It all depends on your habits and how often you really need a car.
must be nice living in a kilometer radius

We own a condo in downtown Toronto. We could easily live without a car except when we visit our parents or go to our cottage. If you work and live downtown it is easy to be car free. Short walk to the subway makes getting around pretty easy. The idea that being carless keeps you wihin a kilometre distance is ridiculous. Zip car would also be a solution if you only needed a car infrequently.
I would keep the car. That Toyota should last a long time and if you ever need to travel or drive out of the city to golf or something, you don't have to plan or worry about transportation. Unless you are more of a home body and rarely leave the dt core, than it my be worth it to sell and use the cash and insurance savings for investments or w.e.. Depends on how often you plan to leave dt
