2003 Toyota Yaris T Spirit review from UK and Ireland
"An intelligent design"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car to date, which meets my expectations of Toyota.
The plastics in the cabin do show up marks easily, though.
General comments?
This car is surprisingly quick on the open road. Although only a 1.4 diesel, the torque (125 lb ft) means it has lots of low down shove, particularly useful on hills and for overtaking.
The cabin design is superb; there is masses of storage space, and the 3-D holographic instrument pod looks futuristic.
