Toyota Corolla Verso (02-03) - Review

Review by Parkers on 01 January 2002

There are few Corolla Versos of this generation on the road. This is because the car simply isn't practical enough. Zafira, Xsara Picasso and Scenic all did a better job. Toyota knew it too, and launched an all-new (and rather impressive) replacement within two years.
