Toyota Corolla Verso (2002 - 2003) 1.8 VVT-i T Spirit 5d (2002/51) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Nothing until the Golf GTI in front cannot shake you off.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

That the rear seat cushions hinge up to accomodate small children and the comfort/space for knees is good they are surprised. That this year of vehicle would have built in Satnav/Radio.CD player and cassette player is also something no one else has.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, because its all things to all men, if they can really drive.

What are you likely to buy next?

Nothing, We already have a Prius so when I really retire the Prius will be all we need.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,750

When did you buy the car?

May 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed large space for boot sales stuff.

What was the dealer like?

Not dealer.

What's it like to drive?

Good upright stance like 4x4's/van. Light and easy with power a plenty. Pulls in 5th from 1200rpm (just below 30mph) without issue so most driving is like an automatic. Gets noisy at 65-75 but over that its a little less so. I still believe its way under geared. Currently checking to see if another Toyota gearbox or ratios will fit. (like the Corolla T180 or MR2).

What's it like to park?

Very easy due to its shortish wheelbase.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Trouble free.

What's most practical about your car?

With seats removed the space is huge and Van like.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Climate and built in Satnav.
