Toyota Yaris Verso (00-05) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Yaris Verso delivers functionality and value for money in equal measures. Unfortunately, it looks like the hatchback of Notre Dame. Shame, because it's good to drive, surprisingly economical to run and should prove utterly dependable. As a tall mini-MPV it packs as much flexible load space as possible into a small car. The down side is an appearance that turns anyone who looks at it to stone.

Deadlocks, immobiliser and driver, passenger and side airbags fitted as standard. No NCAP rating as yet but should be reasonable.

Reliability

Toyotas are generally faultless to the delight of most owners. But a good reputation is no reason to be careless when buying - check any car thoroughly and take a test drive sometimes even Toyota get it wrong.

Check for parking scrapes - there's no rubbing strip.

Engine/Gearbox

Should run like clockwork if carefully serviced.
