T Spirit 1.8 V-Matic Auto

The best car I’ve owned so far.

It’s my third Toyota in about twenty years. I previously had a brand new diesel Ford Focus Ghia TD, and it was a nice car but unreliable. I then moved towards buying Japanese vehicles. My MX5 is 14 years old and has been excellent, and the Verso 12 years old. The Verso is brilliant. It’s my first automatic and so easy to drive. Economy is about 40mpg, it’s relaxing and very comfortable. In sport mode it goes really well. Loads of space for passengers or with seats down a cavernous boot . I have no complaints at all. For an elderly car it has been very reliable, only a few electrical niggles. The horn stopped working and the cigarette lighter socket failed( useful for charging the phone etc). Tyres, discs, battery and pads are seen as consumables in my book and have been replaced. It’s regularly serviced and still looks good for a vehicle of its age.
