Overall reliability

Not up to Toyota's standard

It is unsurprising this car has been withdrawn from the UK market. It is under powered (I have to change down to 3rd driving up a slight incline); has uncomfortable seating (my back problem has worsened despite using a back support) and has hard to find replacement tyres. Although economical on a long run (up to 50 miles per gallon), urban driving sees the mpg drop to low 30s - I may as well have stuck with my 1.6 Renault Scenic, which was, without a shadow of a doubt, the most comfortable car I have ever owned. My foray into the Toyota market will not be repeated.
