you
my local mini cab firm uses Toyota
versus and there are several very good
reasons for that firstly it packs seven
seats into a relatively small space
secondly it's easy to drive and thirdly
like most Toyota's it's reliable but
with so many rival mtv's available is
that enough click the link below to sign
up to which and read our full Toyota
verso review including lab test data for
performance fuel economy and more the
2013 update sees pointy ER front-end
styling that brings the verso into line
with the rest of the Toyota range prices
start at around 18,000 pounds but you
can pick up a used verso from less than
6,000 pounds there's a choice of two
petrol engines or the 2-liter diesel
which I'm driving today despite a modest
122 brake horsepower it hauls the verso
along quite well there's plenty of
lowdown talk for towing and it's pretty
refined too this particular taxi
certainly a lot easier on the ears than
a London black cab
unlike some Toyota's you can't have a
verso with hybrid petrol electric power
for that you'll need the bigger more
expensive Prius plus MPV click the link
below to watch our Prius Plus video only
the 1.8 petrol verso is available with
an automatic gearbox the diesel has this
6-speed manual here which is mounted
usefully high on the dashboard
officially fuel consumption is 57.6 mpg
while co2 emissions of a hundred and
twenty-nine grams per kilometer put the
verso diesel in the same car tax band as
most of its rivals at the time of
filming that means a bill of a hundred
and five pounds a year as I mentioned
before this is an easy car to drive with
light steering and a come
of all rides a Ford c-max is more fun
from behind the wheel but the verso has
got plenty of cornering grip plus the
full complement of safety systems in
case the worst happens the verso isn't
the biggest 7cm PV available it's a size
smaller than the ford galaxy or sour
alhambra for example but it makes good
use of the space available there are
three adult sized seats in the second
row and they can all slide recline or
fold forward individually however the
third row is strictly for kids only and
luggage space is very limited with the
seats in place with all the seats folded
flat we measured nine hundred and forty
liters of space up to the window line
that's on par with a larger stake car
actually I took a mattress to the tip
yesterday in this and it didn't even
flinch rear seat passengers will
appreciate this panoramic sunroof that
it's expensive at 550 pounds and you're
better off with a cheaper portable
sat-nav than the 650 pound Toyota system
here isn't a car you'll fall in love
with but it isn't one you'll regret
buying either few cars take so many
boxes and four years into its life it
remains a very pragmatic choice whether
you're a mum or a minicab driver that
said the verso isn't our highest-rated
MPV visit the which car website to find
out what is click the links below to see
full reviews of the verso and it's key
rivals the Ford c-max and sale alhambra
