Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Can't get over how well residual is standing up. Needed to retro fit a CD player though.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seems to like drinking petrol because of permanent 4WD. Petrol tank is too small as well only 300 miles on 1 tank.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pretty good poke from the 2 litre engine, though cannot push it too much through corners, because of body roll (short wheel base means it feels like it would tip over).

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Impressive performance at a bargain price.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    ""touch wood"", but nothing has ever gone wrong in 3.5 years of ownership. Only needed to replace tyres etc.

    Best looking budget 4x4.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Getting passengers in and out the back is a pain (front seatbelts seem designed to trip them up.) Back seat is no more than a bench too, but front is fine. No other space to mention that it has no boot at all, and nowhere to hide anything while parked.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Loud alarm. Never had any problems.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Never used Toyota for servicing (overpriced)
