  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    the car is a 1.4 vvt-i so isn't the biggest and quickest version but its very quick for a 1.4, keeps up with bigger engined cars and also includes the vvt-i technology which gives it more power, does not feel like a 1.4 though but more like a 1.6

    it is simple to park as there is a good view all around the car

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    nothing has gone wrong yet but I hope nothing goes wrong as it is a Japanese car and its a Toyota

    What's most practical about your car?

    5 doors and a decent boot

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    front fogs for me, they make the car look sporty and more attractive also body coloured door mirrors and door strips give the car a better image
