Summary
What does this car say about you?
Not brand conscious.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
What's that? Is it a Toyota? It's quite cute! It's quite big inside. Nobody has called it ugly yet but it is an acquired taste.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definitely. It ticks all the boxes and has been a pleasant surprise.
What are you likely to buy next?
As long as there is no major crackdown on (even tiny 1.5cc) 4x4s, I'd consider the next one of these but it won't be for a while yet.
