Toyota Picnic Reviews - Page 2 of 2

No faults.

It drives very well and has good performance with reasonable fuel economy (33 mpg) for the size of vehicle.

All six seats are comfortable and suitable for adults, although with more limited headroom in the third row. It is necessary to shuffle the seat positions to maximise leg room. With only four passengers there is loads of room and the second tier of seats partially recline.

My only quibbles are that the second row of seats do not remove from the vehicle for load carrying, and that items placed in the 'boot' area have a tendency to roll forward between the seats to the front of the car.

Intermittent fault with the alarm.

Crankshaft replaced under 3 year warranty.

Sony CD/radio replaced after 3 months of ownership.

Underrated vehicle, probably because it has a silly name.

Very easy and simple to drive, although the steering is too light for my tastes.

Extremely reliable with good service provided by the main dealers.

On delivery there was a loose earth connection on the alarm which meant it kept going off. Took the Toyota man 10 seconds to fix. Apparently the alarm is the only bit fitted in the UK...

Occasionally the radio tunes off the station...

Otherwise nothing at all. No snags, nothing.

This is an excellent car. It may look like an MPV, but it drives like a car handling well under most conditions. Narrower than most family estates, it is relatively easy to manoeuvre.

The 2.0 engine is remarkably nippy, equipment levels are good and although the seating is not as flexible as other MPVs, it still offers tons of space.
