On the road
Driving
Nothing to write home about. Good fuel consumption..
Performance
1.8i - put your foot down and listen to the engine suffer then it moves. But didn't buy it for racing. Great on long trips, Glasgow to Reading and still fuel left in tank...great.

Living with it
Reliability
Got me to Scotland and back on its maiden voyage, no problems yet, only bit im not keen on is the gear box, very notchy.
Image
In comparison to the Ford Cougar 2.5V6 I part exchanged for it this car does'nt stand a chance in looks, but thats not what I got it for, its a fab family motor.
Comfort
Very cosy, Elevated seating position and although there is no lumbar adjustment on the T3X it isn't really needed. Front armrest could do with a bit of padding, loads of cubby holes and cup holders for all...12v adaptor for passengers in back.

Security

Service
Octagon Toyota in Reading were very friendly, except the receptionist, she was a bit grumpy....
