Toyota Yaris Cross SUV 1.5 Hybrid Excel AWD 5dr CVT Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
This vehicle is not for me. It has let me down several times - the engine won't start, the dashboard displays "no power steering, no brakes, refer to dealer", and windscreen washers stopped working on a wintry journey as the fuse in the washer motor packed in.
Following many telephone conversations with the dealer, I was offered a free solar-powered trickle charger to place on the dashboard to charge the small start-up battery and told I wasn't using the vehicle enough and needed to take it on regular long journeys (defeating the object of a hybrid and lower fuel consumption?)
Had I been aware that the Yaris Cross needs a trickle charger due to my low mileage (retired female) I would not have purchased it.
I asked the dealer to make me an offer on the vehicle - they offered £22k - I paid £31.5k.
By giving free trickle chargers to YC owners, is Toyota admitting that the Yaris Cross has a design fault and is not fit for purpose?
