Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Purchased second hand in January '05, haggled the asking price from a reputable dealer down by £1,000, excellent value for just 8k
Costs
None so far, except for replacing all 4 tyres for safety, you never know their past history.

On the road
Driving
This is my wife's car, mine is a Volvo V70 'R' AWD, i'm thinking of selling the Volvo, cause this is a fantastic driving experience.
Performance
This model is the 140bhp, but fed on a diet of Shell Optimax, this machine really flies, and nearly out runs my 'R'

Living with it
Reliability
Toyota have a very good reputation for reliability, but I purchased a Gold Cover Warranty direct for just £18 per month, peace of mind.
Image
This car is finished in Chilli Red, and the looks it gets, people pass comment as you park up, great car to be seen in, nearest thing to the looks of a Ferrari.
Comfort
Got to give it 5*, what else can you expect in the way of comfort from a sports car?
-
Security and Service
Security
Factory fitted alarm/ imobiliser & locking wheel nuts.
Service
Hard to define, as no work carried out by dealership, but they all seem very helpful.
