    Toyota's hold their value, so are not the cheapest around, but are very well spec'd

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Don't use dealerships- too expensive, local garages much better value.

    Lovely to drive, great all rounder.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    2 litre does the job, power when you need it, but without the racecar acceleration.
