Summary
What does this car say about you?
Doesn't say anything about me but more about Toyota and their lack of customer care to me.They ignore my letters and don't want to know about this problem.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They feel exactly the same as me and would avoid buying anything from Toyota, who have never had the curtesy to reply to my letters.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definetly not.I Believed all the hype from Toyota about this car but never ever again.It had problems with the software when I bought it and the brakes.£2,150.00 is a lot of money to pay for a car less than 5 years old with 54,000 miles on the clock.Shame on you Toyota.!
What are you likely to buy next?
Possibly a skoda Fabia or a Seat Leon.

Looking back definetly not as it has turned out to be an extremely bad purchase.!
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Seemed like a good deal at the time.
What was the dealer like?
On a personal level they were courteous and helpful up to a point.With hindsight I should have been more wary as they could not explain how the engine transmission worked.The workshop was closed as it was a sunday.It was the last day of the 'sale' so had to make a decision there and then.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
At low gears it is sluggish and gives a poor performance as gear changes not quick or smooth enough.It is better at higher speed when gear change not frequent.
What's it like to park?
Ok no problems.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Oh yes!.The MMT transmission has been a 'nightmare' over the last few months and cost me £2.150.00 to repair.It kept slipping from the drive into the neutral position and was very hazardous to drive,breaking down often.Very stressful experience indeed.
What's most practical about your car?
It is quite spacious' inside.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Nothing!
