Toyota Verso (09 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 14 April 2009 Last Updated: 21 February 2011 Well built, practical and reliable - the Toyota Verso is an ideal people carrier for families. It replaces the Corolla Verso, but despite similar looks, is an all different model with improved space and refinement. It comes with seven-seats as standard and the rear five can be individually folded down to create plenty of passenger and luggage carrying combinations. The interior finish is everything you'd expect from a Toyota, so it's a shame that it's so drab. The same can be said of the driving experience, which although comfortable, lacks sparkle. But comfort levels are superb and it's an easy car to drive, particularly in town, with light steering and good visibility. The quality of Toyota dealers is another good reason why this is such an attractive buy. 3.5 out of 5 Other Toyota reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £17,765 - £27,875 View all new prices Used price range: £7,053 - £22,181 View all used prices Get a Toyota Verso (09 on) information pack Next steps Toyota Verso cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
