Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
High list price which keeps sales artificially lower and gets you an MPV that you can spot in the car park as yours 99/100.
Costs
48mpg combined city/rural, Toyota standard menu servicing.
-
On the road
Driving
Surprisingly good handling for a tall call.
Performance
The published Toyota diesel torque figures appear very conservative. Relaxed yet very firm acceleration for safe overtaking lorries etc between 30mph and 70, or more if you're not careful.
-
Living with it
Reliability
It's a Toyota and even if it went wrong they'd fix it right first time.
Image
Stands out from the MPV competition without being plain ugly like a Fiat Multipla.
Comfort
Equally good for both driver and passengers.
-
Security and Service
Security
No attempted thefts, let alone failed ones.

Practical, clean, polite - not the most common experience for non-Toyota drivers.
