In their own words

I bought this one back in July 2016 and been using is now for over a year. The only good thing I found in it is that it is perfect for the city, with low emissions and very relaxing to drive. However, there are many faults with this car... firstly why have an electric car been fitted with bulbs from the 1970s on the front and which are constantly on, haven't Toyota heard of LED lighting? Secondly, the Austin metro I had 15 years ago was better build and sprayed paint, I would have expected Toyota to be able to do a lot better. Some examples here, the doors are not even finished properly on the edges, the fog lights casing seem to be from the pound shop, the minute you touch the spray it gets scratched and the rear bumper came loose after someone slightly touched the bumper. You would expect Toyota to do better here but clearly they are following the principles of cheap car manufacturers. The interior is ok but poorly done especially the roofing. I am expecting it to last perhaps 7 years at max after which it will be in ruins although likely it will be somehow driveable.
