Good Points

A nice car but it has cost me £2000 on 6 bent wheels, tyres etc. Toyota say that there is not a problem with the wheels but other owners are reporting the same problems (read "What Car?" reports also).


Bad Points

I bought the T sport new in May 2004 having previously owned a VVTi which was very good. To date the T sport has done under 18,000 miles. There is a rattle in the exhaust that has been there from new that the garage 'cannot find', but worst of all is that six, yes that's right, six wheels have buckled. I am in my mid 50s and no boy racer. The low profile wheels fitted to this model cannot take anything other than silk smooth roads. Toyota UK have shrugged their shoulders saying no other reports have come in about this problem, and I have been left having spent £2,000 replacing wheels, tyres etc.
