Summary
What does this car say about you?
'Sensible man' I guess.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all love it! The standard of fit and finish, leather seats and comfort all impress.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. The T4 spec with SatNav is great and leaves me wanting little else in the way of goodies, although front parking sensors would be nice. However, arthritis problems are beginning to indicate that I should seek a vehicle that's easier to get in and out of.
What are you likely to buy next?
Toyota RAV 4, Honda CRV/FRV.

About what to expect from a franchise dealer but got a very good servicing package as well.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Great spec, needed large load space, Toyota fan.

Efficient if a little 'flash'.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's not a sports car but it's exceptionally comfortable and has a good turn of speed. The CVT gearbox is a dream.
What's it like to park?
It has reversing camera and audible parking sensors so reverse parking is a doddle. The front end is not so easy to see.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all.
What's most practical about your car?
The load space is enormous and the seats have memory function so there's no hassle when my wife and I change drivers.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
There are so many but the memory seats, cruise control and auto lights/wipers stand out.
