Toyota Yaris Verso 1.3 VVT-i T Spirit 5d Auto (2003/03) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
The T-Spirit is quite good value offering air con etc.
Costs
We get an average of 40-44 mpg on local runs and insurance seems very cheap.

On the road
Driving
A real pleasure to drive.
Performance
Amazing for the size of car/engine. It happily does the limit down the motorway with 5 up and full luggage! Does occasionally struggle a bit on hills but let's not be unfair!

Living with it
Reliability
Almost perfect - squeaky air con drive belt is sum total of problems thus far.
Image
Hmmm. We are used to the looks and pointy fingers now - quite fun actually! Anyway, we don't care.
Comfort
Good supportive seats whether on short or long runs. Little engine noise but could do with the tyre and wind noise being reduced. The tardis like interior has to be seen to be believed. The two outer rear seats fold into the floor - fantastic.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser etc as standard. Alarm as standard would be nice at T-Spirit level.
Service
Servicing is fine.

Problems

Apart from air con drive belt needing adjusting, none.
