You'll have to ask other people that one.........

They like it I assume! no one's said they don't.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, Seems very reliable and looks good.

What are you likely to buy next?

Possibly the Totoyta Auris 2.2 180 SR in White, but what ever it is, it has to be a Diesel with 6 speed.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

September 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not a bad deal, and satisfactory for me.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Good

What's it like to drive?

Great drive in all climates and situations, no problems at all, very impressed.

What's it like to park?

Very easy for my wife and I, (even better with those Parking sensors)

Have you had any problems with the car?

Wheel nuts go rusty, (I'm on my third set in two years, Needed new drivers side seat belt ancorage pillar trim,windscreen wipers leave water, (second set of these), there is a very sharp edge on rear parcel shelf, so I have cut my head twice bending down into boot - Beware! I had an issue with Toyota on the lack of the "noise" from the indicators when turning, basicly I could not hear the "ticking" of the indicators when turning as they are so quiet,and with the radio on there is no chance of hearing them, and you could forget they are on if they do not self cancel, and that would cause a problem for other road users, but Toyota do not agree that it is a problem and it is up to the driver to make sure your indicators are cancelled - fair enough, but why not increace the indicator ticking-

What's most practical about your car?

I found that having Parking sensors front and rear are a must, (as seeing the front of the car is difficult from the driving position). Very quick in 3rd and 4th gear, plus it's great having 6 gears (2000rpm at 70mph). (49mpg average)

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Must be the Protection pack option, which includes the rear parking sensors.
