Toyota Corolla Verso 1.8vvti t3 manual 2005

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 MMT T spirit 2004

What a waste of hard earned money! Bought new with extras with view of reliability & durability. I was conned and made to believe it works like an automatic by the salesmen at the showroom, however, less than 3 months later I’ve had countless problems with the MMT gearbox followed by recalls i.e., safety air bags etc. ’Til now, no Joy despite recent recall,the car has been back to the garage twice within 6 weeks with the same problem while, some of the staff at the service dept. were very rude & unapproachable at any attempts to get through for assistance. Toyota has now burst the bubble, I’ve counted & accept my loss, as it’s shameful & very dangerous stalling to N on a motorway daily. I,m now searching for a new reliable family car, definitely not Toyota group.

Toyota Corolla Verso T3 D-4D 2007

Diesel version with 6 speed box gives excellent consumption. Normally get around 49 mpg. Did a fully loaded run between Boulogne & Dunkirk and returned 74.4 mpg at average speed of 66.6 mph. Check tilt & slide mechanism on rear seats, mine broke on both seats but was fixed under warranty. Turning circle is poor but improved on ’09 models. Toyota no longer fits roof rails and roof bars only mount 2 foot apart, no good for long items! I have to consult handbook to refit luggage cover. I often do 600 mile trips and have ditched the skinny wheel in favour of a standard steel wheel & tyre. Otherwise very happy with the Verso.

Toyota Corolla Verso 1.8 T3 2005

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

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 2004

It looks very good family car, but how do you feel when MMT stops working in the middle of the road and you can not move. It occurs so often that you have to get rid of this vehicle, as even after changing the gear box, problem persists! and there is no solution.

Toyota Corolla Verso 2.0 D-40 T-Spirit 2005

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.

Toyota Corolla Verso 1.8 VVT-i T Spirit 5 dr

This could be a great car, however, after countless problems with the MMT gearbox (and I know I’m not the only one!!) I have decided to cut my losses and get rid as I am no longer confident for my wife and children to travel in it. Great shame.
