Toyota Land Cruiser Colorado (1996 - 2002) 3.0 TD GX 5d (1999/T) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

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

They love it and my neighbours are jealous and can't believe it was so cheap. In France they go for 3 times the price.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes because I can't imagine a better car and it has never let me down. I live in the mountains and can't afford to break down.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Toyota 4x4.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,500

When did you buy the car?

June 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think so, a terrific deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I had read and heard that the Toyota Land Cruiser is the best 4x4 out by a long margin.

What was the dealer like?

Great and I would buy from him again.

What's it like to drive?

Great driving as one is high up, very comfortable seats and has ample power for climbing up steep mountains loaded up including on the roof rack. I live in the French Alps and it is just great.

What's it like to park?

I found it difficult at first in town as I was not used to such a big car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Loses a little water on long motorway runs.

What's most practical about your car?

It starts first go even when very cold, and it climbs up very rough mountain tracks with complete ease.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
