great value sports car

Advantages: comfy seats, leather interior, sporting credentials
Disadvantages: lack of acceleration

well firsty on admiring the looks of the celice i was in love with the car staright away. i myself bought a black version of the 1.8 vvti. i instantly fell in love with the looks and contours of the car. i myself thought it looked like a lamboughini at first glance however as time goes by you start to notice how the car doesnt actually feeli like a sports car with great looks like it does. firstly the back of the car looks to high for it being a ...
...strength bars from underneath the car. the front of the car is sound with a very nice sporting look however once again towards the rear the exhaust is terrible it produces more of a rasping sound than power sound. it kind of splutters i have had to purchase a new sports one so that the appearance and sound of the car isnt shown up. as for the interior of the car i was very appreciative as i loved the leather seats and the sporting looks of the seats. ...

Review of Toyota Celica 1.8

Toyota Starlet as a first car

Advantages: good make of car, good handeling
Disadvantages: not much space in the back, lap belt over the middle seat

I recently bought a Toyota Starlet as a 1st car for myself and it is in this that I have learnt to drive(ish). As a Toyota it is reliable by definition, mine is 10 years old and is running better than alot of cars my parents have had over the recent years. The front of the car is spacious enough, the only design fault really is how far back the seat belts are but I think that this is generalised to all 3-door cars, the back on the other hand is not ...
...personally i would only ever try to put 2 children in the back there are 2 reasons for this; 1) the lack of legroom and 2) the middle seat belt is only a lap belt. The car itself drives very well, mine has a 1.3 litre engine and the power behind it is very obvious. It is very quick and handles excellently. I would recommend this as a 1st car for someone who is not scared of driving. ...

Review of Toyota Starlet

12 months on, the Aygo suffers inferior build quality thoughout.

Advantages: Economical, Easy to drive, Bigger than it looks, Cheap insurace.
Disadvantages: Poor Build Quality, Uncomfortouble seats, cheap and plasticky feel inside.

...have a reputation of running forever and being extremely reliable. If you need a small city car, go and buy the Toyota IQ, the build quality is more like you would expect from Toyota and as soon as our warranty expires, we will be trading it in for the IQ. ...

Review of Toyota Aygo 1.0

Highly recommended

Advantages: Reliable, great motorway cruiser, refined, great interior
Disadvantages: Dull styling, rear suspension not that great for towing

...this is a definite plus. Toyota reliability does also not disappoint. Had absolutely no problems yet after 2 years of use with 63k miles on the clock just the usual servicing. Usually what lets these cars down though is the interior which normally feels very shoddy. Not so with the Avensis. It feels like they have taken pointers from their parent company Lexus. The plastics feel solid. Usually after 1-2 years your start to hear these annoying little ...
...day I got it. The T-Spirit also comes with all the extras you would expect from a higher spec model, leather seats, sat nav (not that great but okay), automatic wipers (can have a mind of their own sometimes) etc. The estate version is very roomy and easily accommodates 4 large adults. The boot is also large enough to accommodate most objects. Bad points: Style! While this car definitely looks more stylish from the car it replaces and the interior ...

Review of Toyota Avensis 2.0 D-4D Saloon

Toyota Corolla Verso-reliable family car

Advantages: child seat boosters
Disadvantages: Can get very stuffy if you haven't got air conditioning

...car and have always trusted toyota as a dealer. It's a great car, very good visiblity the large wing mirrors help with this! There is a large boot space perfect for those bulky items needed with a young family, along with the weekly shop. Back seats tuck away nicely to enable you to have a very large space for carrying things other than passengers (had bed frames, mattresses in there!) We have a child and the fact that the car has built in boosters ...
