NOW CLOSED Mumsnetters needed to test drive the NEW Toyota Verso. Find out more here

We're very excited to be working with Toyota over the next year to celebrate their great range of family cars and we are even more excited to announce that the first thing we're doing is getting MNers behind the wheel of the all new Toyota Verso!

Do you fancy trying out the 7 seat Verso for a fortnight and telling us what you think? You can find out more info about the Verso here - here's what Toyota would like to say about the car: "When it comes to practicality, the Verso is a mum's best friend. Its Easy Flat 7 seating system makes switching between a carload of school friends to a boot full of buggies, a breeze. Thankfully, that doesn't mean it compromises on style and with a sharper, sleeker design, this car creates a powerful presence both on the road and behind the wheel."

Specifically, we're looking for Mumsnetters who have at least 2 children under 10 years and who use the family car to drive their children around most days e.g to/from school, after school activities etc.

The test drives are going to be split into two waves - 4-17 May and 18 May - 1 June, so please only apply if you are around for the duration of one of these waves, and indicate on the sign up form (link below) which wave you'd prefer.

If you're selected to take part, you'll need to pick up the car at your local dealership and Toyota will then arrange to pick the car up from your home at the end of the test.

Testers will be required to add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet throughout the duration of the test drive. Additionally, we'd like 5 testers to provide video feedback via their smart phone to demonstrate the versatility of the Verso, so get your thinking caps on for how to show this in a fun and creative way! The 5 testers who are chosen to provide video feedback will each receive a £30 Love2shop voucher as an additional thank you.
The videos will be hosted on the Mumsnet YouTube channel, used on Toyota's pages on MN and possibly elsewhere.

Now the important stuff
In order to take part in the test drive, you must:
~ be a UK resident
~ be aged 25 years old or over
~ hold a valid UK driving license
~ have no convictions for dangerous driving.
A driver declaration form will need to be completed; proof of identification and a valid driving licence (both photocard if applicable and paper part) will also need to be presented upon collection of vehicle and continue to be valid before the winner can take the test drive.

If you'd like to take part please sign up here.

We'll be in touch with the chosen few by Monday 29th April. If you're not picked this time, there will be plenty more opportunities to test drive other Toyota models later in the year - keep an eye out for these!

Thanks and good luck!

We are getting a 7 seater at the end of June but have no idea which one to go for so need some help choosing, test driving one would really help us work out what we really want/need from a 7 seater.

We're In The market for a new car - our 7 seater touran though great, is getting a little long in the tooth snow and new VWs just don't measure up on build quality.

Done. My current beloved Japanese car is very elderly but it's been so reliable I'd get another in a heartbeat.

Furball and firawla requesting an automatic would be dealer dependent. Please sign up and mention this in the "why would you like to take part" box and we'll check with your dealers if you're selected.

'Fraid you are. Just had an email and they want me to do all of the test drives, so that's nice.

No need for anyone else to apply, thanks

I would really love to apply, but I have an EU license (itøs fine to use here in the UK), is that problem?

Huge apologies to katieBmumsnet et all for making you answer the question about the auto - I now can't do those dates..........it's school holiday galore and we aren't going to be about for the complete dates. Blush
