1997 Toyota Picnic GL review from UK and Ireland
"Good, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermittent fault with the alarm.
Crankshaft replaced under 3 year warranty.
Sony CD/radio replaced after 3 months of ownership.
General comments?
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.
