Does anybody here drive a Toyota Corolla Verso or a Honda FR-V?

And if so, could you give me your opinion?
Would esp. like to know if three car seats will fit on the middle row of the Verso.
TIA

Did you end up buying the verso emkana - we have an avensis verso on an overnight test drive and I just love it.

I'm annoyed you can't buy the diesel version here in NZ, but pretty happy to have found a new one - apparently they don't sell them any more.

No we bought the FRV in the end, but are very happy with it!

I've got a new corolla verso (diesel). Love Love Love it. Fab to drive, not too bulky but good high driving position. So pleased with it. The service from Toyota has been brill as well.

We have the Verso and I agree it is great. Have you had any problems shutting your boot though? I think ours is faulty.

another verso lover here.. What probs do you have with the boot..? Ours seems fine..?

I've had to uy the 2.4 petrol as they are not big on diesels in NZ (or versos either - they are only importing to special order, and who would buy something they hadn't seen).

Our petrol is around 50p a litre at the moment, and we have to pay an extra tax to drive a diesel - so it won't be a lot more.

What's the service interval for a diesel out of interest.

Glad you like your car emkana.

Hi. We really have to slam the boot shut, so much so we believe it has caused two identical dents in the boot either side of the handle bit. Toyota are looking into it for us. We are waiting to hear. I was curious if anyone else had found this to be the case. I have to say the customer services up to know has been superb. I think it is a wonderful car despite this problem. I love to drive it.

No -boot seems fine to me (but only had it a fortnight so will keep an eye out ).
Some of the plastic bits that cover the seat recliner thingumijigs seem a bit prone to popping off, but otherwise... all well so far.
Don't know what the service interval is. We have the 2.2 diesel tspirit.

I'm trying to talk DH to ditch his landrover and buy a FRV. How much can you practically get in the boot (i.e pushchair and shopping) emkana?

Just signed all the paperwork for my Avensis verso. 5 years with nothing to pay for except insurance, fuel and tyres. Brilliant.
