Toyota Corolla Verso 2.00 T3 D4D 2005

1 star review

I bought the car in August with 55K on the clock. The build quality is impressive and it delivers a comfortable drive. Within days of purchasing this car the engine mangement light came on then the traction off light and VSC light. It then went into safe mode. Since then the car has done this about 3 or 4 times a day and it’s difficult to predict when it will happen. I’ve been to various mechanics and Toyota dealers, the code that comes up is internal leak yet We’ve had the internal diesel leakage pipe replaced and the injector seals, but it still has the same problems. The car also is difficult to start if it’s parked on a slope. We are still no further forward finding the fault and the code lists approx. 10 problems; replace injectors, replace common fuel rail, replace fuel pump etc., the list goes on. We are now in dispute with the dealer and the warranty company. This is the last Toyota I’m ever buying. I should have stuck to Nissan!

Toyota Corolla Verso 1.6 2005

1 star review

I have a Corolla Verso, 70k km on it. The engine failed over Christmas and it’s going to cost £4000 to repair the engine. It is 5 years old and out of warranty. Absolute madness! Oil was due a change at 12 months mark but still an engine should not fail if only one month overdue a service. Rightly p***ed off and boycotting Toyota now for the rest of my life. Don’t buy this car, if you have one change the oil every 6 months or it will fail. It’s known that these fail in the trade and the engine never outlasts the bodywork. 4k can buy me a 10 year old Merc with better reliability!

Toyota Corolla Verso Manual 2005

1 star review

I bought the verso as an ex demonstrator from a Toyota dealer. Apart from a few minor niggles it was ok until 60k miles. Driving on a dual carriage way with my family the gear box failed dramatically, causing loss of power and violent juddering. I was shaken in all senses of the word. The only reason I went with Toyota was the supposed reliability. I would be interested to speak to others who had similar problems, I think this is a safety issue, Toyota don’t. Please email me simcooper@hotmail.co.uk

Toyota Corolla Verso 1.8vvti t3 manual 2005

3 star review

I bought this car from new in 2005 and it has been an excellent and reliable family car offering good handling and plenty of internal room. That was until last Friday when at 4yrs and 6 mth old (62k mileage) the gearbox ceased on me in the middle of our high street. I have serviced this car from new with a Toyota Dealer and my driving consists of regular commutes to work with no towing what so ever and would expect the gearbox to last considerably longer than 4yrs. On review it would appear that it is not an isolated incident and there are several other verso owners with manual boxs that have had similar gearbox problems at around the 50-60k mark. I’m awaiting what Toyota Customer Services will do for me and will keep you posted.

Toyota Corolla Verso 1.8 T3 2005

4 star review

Have this family car on a 4 year lease. Comes to an end later this year. Have had no problems at all - Solid, reliable car and have used the 3rd row of seats on quite a few occasions. Ideal for kids. One word of warning - the cover over the boot is a right pain to take out when you use the 3rd row. When I went to car showrooms, I did wonder why this was seldom in place. The only other bug bear is the poor turning circle - not great. One extra I would recommend is the Rear Parking Sensors - makes parking very easy. Really going to miss this car when the lease is up. Will I get another - perhaps.

Toyota Corolla Verso 2.0D T2 2005

4 star review

55 PLATE. I’ve now done 106,000 miles with no problems except in the last 6 months it sticks in 1stvfirst thing in morning, then clears. Great economy, enough room for 2 x 13 year-olds and 2 older teenagers plus the wife, and me. Just don’t expect to fit luggage in as well! A little noisy on motorways, lots of mid range punch and sure footed means I’d happily get another.

Toyota Corolla Verso 2.0 D-40 T-Spirit 2005

5 star review

Great family car, bought this used just over a year ago and it’s been one of the best buys I’ve ever made. A really solid spacious car that is totally reliable and very reasonable to run. I’d recommond this car to anyone, can’t see me needing to change it for some time as it’s so durable.
