Today, Tomorrow Toyota

Advantages: Excellent Customer Services, Excellent aftersales
Disadvantages: Earlier dealerships didnt live up to expectations

...for and what price I was willing to pay (I had done my research and knew what I could get from an internet brokers site). On leaving the dealer my mind was almost made up that I wouldnt buy from here as they didnt fill me with much confidence. Inchcape - Burton The fact that I was disappointed with the Coventry dealership forced me to drive 30 miles to the Burton dealer, Inchcape. Again I was allowed to peruse the showroom with no pressure at all. When I got speaking to the salesman, he couldnt have been more helpful. When I told him my budget, he told me exactly what I could afford and even went as far as offering to find me a car even if they didnt have one in their showroom. This was a very positive experience. Listers Toyota - Nuneaton By early 2005, Listers had opened a new dealership just 2 miles down the road from where I...

Review of Toyota

Toyota Starlet GT

Advantages: Fuel Economy, Fast, Comfortable, reliable, head turning looks.
Disadvantages: Need an aftermarket fog light as these cars are imports.

...First of all i will begin my review of the Toyota Starlet GT by giving you a brief history of the vehicle. The first model of the Starlet GT (chassis code EP82) was produced in 1990 and continued on through until 1995 when production was ceased.The code given to the engine used was 4-EFTE. During the 5 years of manufacture the GT went through a slight cosmetic change from having square lamps at the front (pre <94 models) to having rounded headlights. I have been a member of a few starlet enthusiast clubs for a while now and this newer model ( post 94>) tends to be called a "quadlight model". Also the post 94> models had a revised tailgate from the pre <94 models, the difference being a reflective strip being removed from between the rear tail lights. I personally own a Toyota Starlet GT so i will be talking from my own experiences...

Review of Toyota Starlet

  The dealer in front is a Toyota!

Advantages: Friendly, professional, helpful
Disadvantages: A long way from home.

.... I would definitely buy a car from Inchcape Toyota again, and next time, I will ask for Richard. The phrase, ?Would you trust this man?? springs to mind. Yes, I would. <<<Details:>>> Salesperson - Richard Birch Inchcape Toyota 406 Derby Road Nottingham NG7 2GQ Tel: 0115 942 1700 Fax: 0115 942 4489 Web: www.toyota.co.uk/inhcape-nottingham Email: im@inchcape-nottingham.toyota.co.uk Ms. Haggler just reminded me. As I was leaving, Richard said," And if you have any questions, .............I don't work here!". I wonder what their after sales service is like...........

Review of Toyota

Toyota Corolla Verso

Advantages: great
Disadvantages: none

..., and the seats all come out to give greater space for transporting furniture and bikes etc. There's lots of space for a pram as well as shopping. The car itself is really easy to drive. I'm not tall, and yet I've never had visibility problems and it handles well on corners and so on. Sometimes when travelling uphill on motorways it seems to lack power, but acceleration can be boosted by pressing a button and taking overdrive off - effectively dropping a gear. It's just had its first service, which revealed no problems at all and although its not exactly economical mine is an automatic and I chose this feature for ease of driving rather than economy. There have been no maintenance costs at all and I've never needed to top up oil or water etc. Toyota do a service plan which roughly works out at £300 for 3 years servicing. I pay by DD so its barely...

Review of Toyota Corolla Verso

Toyota Carina

Advantages: CONFORT
Disadvantages: NONE

...This is the most lovely car I have ever owned. It feels very solid when you are driving it. It had an executive feel about it. It had power steering. It handled the road very well. I found that people respect you on the road when you drive a bigger type car, than when you drive a smaller car. People really liked the look of my car as well. The Toyota Carina E is a very comfortable car to drive. It had electric windows, which had a control on all four sets of windows. Each window could also be controlled by the driver. The driver could also lock the control for opening / closing the windows, such that no one else can open or shut their windows with their respective window open / close buttons. I don't know what the manufacturers were thinking when they designed this into the windows. It can only be left to the imagination. The car had...

Advantages: Generally good reliability
Disadvantages: Generally poor customer service

...the alarm) complete with the 'standard Texas chip' in it, with the data copied over from my key for £25 including VAT. That's £16.12 cheaper than the main dealer charges and I get a key thrown in as well! Do I like Toyota cars? Yes I do. Do I like their support operation? No I definitely do not and for that reason it is extremely unlikely I will buy another Toyota....

Review of Toyota Carina

The toyota auris a nice car to drive

Advantages: With the engine cut of in trafic should save on fuel
Disadvantages: Can't think of any at the moment

...The Toyota auris we bought on may 27th, at first I thought the idea of coming up to a set of traffic lights and the engine cutting out on you and taking half an hour to start back up again, but it can not be further from the truth, when you pull up to the traffic lights put the car in neutral and handbrake on the engine cuts immediately then when lights go green as soon as you take the handbrake of ad put in gear the engine is as though it was never off. The only thing I have found with the car is that the gears are very close together and I have got this habit of putting it in first rather than third, but gradually I am getting the hang of it. Pulling away speed seems to be a bit lacklustre but may be that will improve with age as it has only done 850 miles at the moment. I have found that changing with the green gear change indicator...

Review of Toyota Auris

Toyota, the drive of my life? Nah!

Advantages: Power steering, hidey holes, compact, fuel consumption.
Disadvantages: Drives terribly, terrible to reverse

...When an Ambulance dinted my little Renault Clio I was pleased when my insurance offered me a hire car. I was even more excited when I was told that my hire car was going to be a 1.3 automatic Toyota Yaris. It had been a long time since I had driven an automatic and I had always liked the look of the Toyota. Unfortunately, the Yaris is one of the worst new cars I have ever driven. To be fair, let us start with the good things. It looks the part in jet black and it is certainly one of the prettier compact hatchbacks available. Also, despite appearing very small, the adverts are true. It is very roomy for driver and passengers and has loads of little hidey holes and pockets. The boot room is a bit tidgy and the glovebox is tiny but the back seats collapse completely turning the Yaris into the World's smallest minivan. In regards to...

Review of Toyota Yaris 1.3 VVT-i

Toyota Starlet Glanza V

Advantages: Very reliable, economical, fast, fun, great tuning capability and cheap to run
Disadvantages: Parts can be difficult to obtain

...I bought my Glanza in 2007, its a N-reg 1996 Toyota Starlet Glanza V. I paid £3800, all of my friends and family thought i was mad to pay this amount of money for a 11year old car. But i've like these cars since i was 15, (21 now). The reason i love these cars so much is: Its got a simple 1300cc Toyota engine which has been in production for years and very rarely has any problems Because it only 1300cc, it means low tax and low insurance Its very economical, if you drive it carefully without the turbo you can get 400+ KPH For people who are interested in the tuning side, there are endless amount of mods to be done to this pocket rocket.... I've had mind for about a month now, and i've found the most efficient mods are: -Decat (altho illegal) -Full stainless steel exhaust system -Dumpvalve (Bailey's) -Induction Kit...
