You know that the car is good when the main gripes are missing stickers and visibly cup holders for the back seat. The cover in the boot is designed to be able to be folded and put away. The floor is designed to be able to adjust the height of the floor between two heights. The media unit is much better than most cars in this price point as is, but one of the main selling points for it is the wireless android auto and apple carplay. The car being dark in a dark setting is a pretty strange gripe as its only an issue with the panorama roof since the regular roof has a regular rooflight. The transmission needs to be clarified, it is a E-CVT and not a regular CVT, it is much quieter and much more reliable than regular CVTs. The reason the front seats shoulders are higher than other cars is due to the built-in airbags in the from chairs, this is a 5 star NCAP car. The middle consoles main function is to be able to fit tall objects through the back seats, it is not supposed to be a family car for kids. This is a reliable and very utilitarian and cheap entry to the Toyota hybrids, it is a b-segment SUV so comparing it to regular SUVs is very unfair. The only justifiable gripe with this car I have is the AWD-i system being extremely lackluster and the missing USB in the backseat, but then again, we got 12v in the boot instead.

I totally agree, I drive this car.. what a nagging review... the switches for seat heating, clear and great... moan moan moan...so typically Dutch... absolutely spoilt brat.

@lizziedripping71 Күн бұрын

The economy, simplicity of use, higher seating position, functionality are all excellent for me. I have the Premier edition & love it.

Appreciate the attention to detail and truth telling. Toyota gets a lot of great press and a lot of their cheapness gets overlooked by other reviewers.

@autogefuel Ай бұрын

thankyou! appreciate the feedback. I feel that cars deserve critique just as much as praise. Both need to be pointed out

Lack of light switches is big let down 😕

@stephenwakeman3074 Ай бұрын

With the window buttons I think it’s meant to be one of those muscle memory things. In theory the driver should never be diverting their view to look at window buttons, and they’re laid out according to the window quadrants. When I think about it I couldn’t tell you the last time I actually looked at my window buttons except when cleaning the car. You just reach for them, ergo, they don’t all need to be labelled.

@autogefuel Ай бұрын

oh absolutely, its obvious muscle memory of course and the label is not needed to identify the button. BUT its clearly a cost saving measure, save 5 cents on this, and do that 20x throughout the car and then multiply it by Toyota's scale of operation and it adds up to alot of money

Cool car love the design style. I dont think we're getting this in the US but I'd be more concerned with safety. Like how it handles and brakes. Is there any blind spots turning . Do the side mirrors fold in? Is there a back up camera? Hows the turning radius? What size wheels/tires are these 16, 17 or 18 Are there airbags? I noticed the steering wheel didnt look like it did or the dash? You didnt mention the audio or sound. Do the windows roll all the way down in the rear door or quarter way? Does the pano roof open or is it fixed? Did I miss where you explored the engine bay? Is this a 4cyl or 3cyl turbo ? Any lane assist or blind spot monitoring features. Aside from that this is an interesting car. In the US the Yaris was entry level at 1.5l but that 40k price point is quite high unless this comes with a 4wd option. I agree it's not much room for adults in the rear but design wise if this was a 3dr design it wouldn't sell as many units. Having the wagon style offers more potential for storage and transport option also its typically cheaper for insurance as 2drs are considered sporty or sports car classification. Would have loved to see the seats in the back fold down and see storage function potential with groceries like real world scenario

I really like your critical review and I disagree with you at some points. I like it dark in the car, so I can see outside well. I like a small car which is maneuverable, “on stilts” because my knees are not very good. I’m age 65. How did your lower back feel, after sitting in it for a long time?

Ik heb deze auto en ben het echt oneens met sommige observaties. Deze "hoedenplank is ideaal, want je legt er niks OP, ivm zicht en als je bagage net iets hoger is, wat ik al heb gehad, dan vormt het materiaal zich eromheen. Hij is als een strandtent op te vouwen tot een ronde plaat die onderin kan. Zelf heb ik m niet nodig en hij neemt in mijn garage geen ruimte in. De 2 laags vloer. Je vergeet dat je hier een vlakke vloer mee maakt als je de achter-stoel-leuningen omgooit. Ideaal, dan schuif je iets er zo in... vlak. Als je het anders wilt en diepte nodig hebt ipv lengte, dan pas er iets hogers in. Wat je niet liet zien is dat je de dubbele verhoging simpel onderion kan leggen, daar is het voor gemaakt. De cupholders storen jou, waarom? Nog geen van de wel 20 reviewers hebben er ooit iets van gezegd en het is zowel armsteun als doorvoer voor lange dingen als afzetplek voor flesje of beker voor kinderen, maakt dat spullen niet door de cabine rollen. wat klink je verwend... de "display dated" ? en de deurklink... en ik voel meteen de raam-bediening.. geen idee waarom daar nog licht of stickers op moeten. Erg veel spijkers op laag water wat mij betreft. So sorry but you probably had a bit of a moaning day ... Why would you want to race with a hybrid aimed at saving you money? So very economical! Oh and... rear window is NOT large... but large enough for me. What a pity you do not mention it is the most sold car in its class in Europe ... why would that be would you think? It is not a cheap car, but very economical, you earn money back ...

Tihs review is full of personal opinions, which is fine I guess. But in my country Croatia we have a saying “personal opinion is like a butt hole. Nothing special about it. We all have one.”

@autogefuel Ай бұрын

just reading a specsheet isnt very interesting either of course so i try to make a mix of positives and negatives, but there is no way around that those are obviously personally inspired. But then again, when i sit in the back and i dont fit, thats my opinion, cause if a smaller person does the same thing then there is a different outcome.

In Poland, Style, 130 km, 4x4 costing more than I have paid for my Golf Alltrack 4motion, 2.0 TDI 184 KM in 2018. This is insane. Boot cover - this can not be truth. Honest review.

@stephenwakeman3074 Ай бұрын

6-7 years of inflation, global supply chain issues, energy crisis, war etc. This car has a hybrid drivetrain more complex and advanced that TDI. More efficient, cleaner, better economy, likely more advanced driver systems and features. Boot cover is an issue why? Unless you plan to carry lots of items on the parcel shelf and obscure your view out of the rear window.
