2006 Toyota Tarago GLi review from Australia and New Zealand
"Brilliant people-mover, totally reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front tyres wore quickly.
Foot pedal handbrake took some getting used to - and rubber pad has slipped off the pedal and 'disappeared'.
Somewhat of a 'blind spot' in driver's forward vision with large side mirror and heavily molded quarter window making vision poor for cornering.
General comments?
Very reliable car - would recommend it to anyone needing the extra seats - worth the extra money. Fuel consumption is high, but it is a large car.
Previous model (1993) we had for 13 years and 200,000 km - very reliable and low maintenance. Nothing major went wrong.
Heavy sliding doors now have magnetic catch to stay open - much safer for off-loading passengers on hills. Lack of second rear door in 1993 model was a problem. Now fixed.
Rear seat reconfiguration options not as good as 1993 model, but still makes large space for transporting furniture, bikes etc.
Very comfortable, very roomy.
