Toyota Corolla Hatchback (2002 - 2006) 2.0 D-4D Colour Collection 5d (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Well it doesnt exactly portray the boy racer image, but i dont care. Its as reliable as they come and as comfortable too.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Love it. First car i've had with no indications of travel sickness from those in the back too.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely. Why? the build quality, the reliability, and the sheer professionalism of the dealership. What a contrast to some main dealers.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Toyota, dont know which one though.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

January 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Was a straight swap from a bad car to a very good one.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

After my dreadful experience with Ford, i followed my mates lead with a Japanese car and have never looked back.

What was the dealer like?

Spot on as usual.

What's it like to drive?

Great, firm and responsive, comfortable, solid, no annoying Ford type creaks and clicks or groans. Feels totally safe all round.

What's it like to park?

No problems.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yeah, ignition was a little sticky at times, but the main dealer changed the barrel without question at a time that suited me.

What's most practical about your car?

Its a Toyota, everthing is practical. I also like the way Toyota have etched all the windows with a unique number to help identification if it got stolen, something ive never had before.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The footrest by the clutch, what a godsend on a long journey, its the little things that help you know, and the climate control, it seems to do its job so well no one interferes with the heating anymore.
