DESIGN

extremely frugal but the car is not as well put together as my previous toyotas

TOYOTA USES THE BEST HYBRID SYSTEM OUT THERE CURRENTLY. I HAVE OWNED A YARIS CROSS DESIGN FOR A YEAR. ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS BUT:- THE REAR SEAT LEG SPACE AND THE POOR REAR DOOR OPENINGS TEND TO MAKE THE CAR LESS PRACTICAL FOR PARENTS USING CHILD CAR SEATS AND BABY SEATS. ELDERLY PEOPLE (LIKE MYSELF) STRUGGLE TO GET IN AND OUT. IT SEEMS THE EXTREMELY USEFUL BOOT SPACE TAKES SPACE AWAY FROM THE REAR SEATS. THE INTERIOR IS TOO DARK ( LIKE THE C-HR) WHY THE THE BLACK ROOF LINING AND WHY NO INTERIOR ROOF LIGHT ? AFTER A YEARS USE AND 7000 MILES THERE ARE A FEW RATTLES OR VIBRA TIONS ON CERTAIN ROAD SURFACES WHICH SPOILS THE ENJOYMENT, IN A CAR,. MUCH NIPPIER THAN EXPECTED. A FURTHER IRRITATION IS THE PLASTIC BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH FEEL CHEAP AND CREAK A LOT IN WARM WEATHER. THE DESIGN SHOULD HAVE A LITTLE MORE SPEC INCLUDING A DECENT INTERIOR LIGHT PLUS FOLDING MIRRORS AND BLIND SPOT MONITORING.? THE YARIS CROSS DRIVES VERY WELL BUT ITS ALL ABOUT BEING AN EXTREMELY FRUGAL, CHEAP CAR TO RUN. IT DOES NOT HAVE THE LOOKS OR QUALITY INTERIOR TO BE ANYTHING ELSE. I WOULD ADD SOME ADVICE REGARDING ACCESSORIES, MY YARIS CROSS CAME WITH FITTED KICK BOARDS ( ANOTHER CUSTOMERS CANCELLED ORDER) THEY ARE AWFULLY DIFFICULT TO KEEP CLEAN AND ARE NOT THAT ATTRACTIVE WHEN DIRTY IN FACT MAKES THE CAR LOOK AGRICULTURAL!!
