Toyota Hiace 2.4D 1997

5 star review

I had an R reg Hiace up to a few years ago and it was simply a great van, tough and totally reliable. It had a hard life and looked pretty ragged and had 198,000 on the clock when I sold it, but it had always been reliable and everything still worked, electric windows, central locking etc. The one and only thing that had failed was the remote fuel filler cap release and that’s it.

Toyota Hiace POWERVAN 2.4D 1997

5 star review

Had all types of vans, new and used over the last 22 years, but the Toyota I have now is the best of the lot! Bought 2 1/2yrs ago with 125,000 and new cam belt, been all over France twice and use it every day for work; I’m a builder. Does everything I ask of it and more,with an average of 35mpg, worst was 30mpg running down France FULLY loaded at 85mph; the best has been an average of 45mpg. Yes, I said 45mpg and that is no made-up figure! Would I buy another? The answer is a big YES, but I think I might have to wait some time until this one goes to the big scrap heap in the sky!

Toyota Hiace 1997

5 star review

I went to the local auction and paid £2400 for a white Toyota Hiace with 130k on clock over 8 years ago (P reg). Taken van around France for 4 months and used as a work horse ever since and at times it works very hard fully loaded. I change the oil every MoT. The only things I have had to replace is one ball joint, one bulb and tyres. Everytime I go to my van it starts and never lets me down. I believe if I keep the van for another 8 years it would not let me down. When I do replace the van it will it would be for another Toyota. Anybody out there thinking of buying a new van buy Toyota because they are simply the BEST!

Toyota Hiace 1997

5 star review

I’ve had my powervan nearly 8 years - easy to service myself. The bodywork is unmarked, you won’t find many other vans as strong. The van in front is definailey a Toyota.
