2009 toyota Verso reviews

Toyota Verso 1.6TR (7 seater) 2009

I bought this car from new when the family started to expand. After looking at the S-Max, Mazda 5 and Zafira, I decided on the new Verso. Normally I advise people not to buy a brand new model but took the chance and 18,000 miles later, I haven’t regretted it. My previous car was a VW Jetta diesel so took a wee while to get used to a petrol again but with 130bhp, it’s enough for my needs. The best part of the car is the space of the interior but to drive it feels like a mid-size hatchback. I’ve started using the third row since the family has extended again, it’s so easy to change the seating for whatever I’m needing it for. It’s had a few minor niggles, trim/fuses for power outlet plus the recall for the accelerator pedal but the Toyota garage has been faultless. My favourite gadget is the Bluetooth hands free for the phone. Only gripes are the interior plastics mark very easily and roughly finished in some areas plus the fuel consumption could be better.
