Good mpg and cheap tax. Fair servicing costs but expensive insurance.

On the road
Driving
Very easy to drive. Comfortable ride. Steering seems a bit too light.
Performance
Good motorway cruising. Acceleration if needed at high revs, but lacking in low down pulling power. Still good for just a 1.3.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No mechanical problems at all.
Image
Bland looking all round, but black colour helps.
Comfort
Comfortable driving position with nice seats. No complaints from passengers either.
-
Security and Service
Security
Toyota alarm and immobiliser, but dodgy communication between the car and key FOB prevents its activation.
Service
Never been to a dealer.
