  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fantastic amount of car for the money.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Be prepared for woeful mpg. Staggering repair costs if they go wrong, which thankfully isn't very often.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Commanding driving position means that you look down on everyone else. Very easy to drive, especially considering it is so huge. Very light power steering. Column shift auto box is easy - never buy a manual as they are dire.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not bad, considering its size. Great motorway eater, the miles just slip by.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Toyota - can't beat it, except for the brakes which need tlc.

    It is an MPV, who cares about image. However, as it is the size of a small truck it is a bit more imposing on the road.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Big armchairs in the front and a couple of sofas in the back. Can seat 8, very comfy for 6 (with all their luggage).
