T4 2.0 V-matic Tourer Estate

Comfortable & capable family tourer

Forget some 'so called' motoring pundits, this is a seriously great car for the family which so far has been 100%, delivering everything I put on the wish list when looking for a large estate.

Pro's
Equipment is generous, I have the T4 spec which has standard quality leather, with electric memory settings (note that in 2011 this was no longer standard on the T4 or an option). Dual climate and built in sat nav with reversing camera and blue-tooth (sat nav an option on the T4 in 2009-2011 but worth looking out for).

Economy is really very good for a 2.0l auto, mix of rural into city around 33-34mpg and on a longer run 42-44mpg if driven in a sensible manner.

Reliability been 100% so far and the local Toyota dealer been top notch, even better than my previous Honda dealer and that is saying a lot!

Costs, road tax is good at £170.00 pa and insurance rating is group 10. Have a Toyota service package which is just short of £30.00 pm.

Con's
Not much, the suspension setting is soft which is great for comfort but it does roll a little into the corners and darkened rear windows would make reversing interesting unless you have the reversing cam (or parking sensors) fitted.
