2002 Toyota Corolla Verso review from UK and Ireland
"Legendary Toyota build quality and reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No faults to date.
General comments?
Typical Toyota reliability; faultless.
Sufficient room for a family. Comfy and quiet for a diesel.
Engine a bit gutless, hence marking down to a 7. Would not suit the boy racers!
Interior pretty bland and boring.
Handles well considering it is a tall car.
Good fuel consumption, averaging around 48mpg (British).
Previous car was a diesel Civic, which was a break in Toyota ownership for some 12 years (Carina.s) Civic not a patch on either Carina or Corolla for build quality and refinement.
In my opinion anyway.
Toyota is the only car that has stood the test of the state of the roads where I live, that's the best recommendation I can give.
If you want speed, and excitement buy something else.
