I own a 2006 Toyota

[Connemmara]

As above a 2006 Toyota with a 26,000-28,000 mileage - in good nick. However I am finding it a bit too big and am thinking of droppping down to a mini - anyadvise - I do think it is a ladies car. Thanks for any answers.

My friend and a customer (lady in 40's) has one .. loves it. That is a diesel.
They are a bit of a rough rider though .. and tyres tend to follow ridges in road quite a bit compared to others.
I replaced some bits on it t'other week .. and was surprised it was not as inspiring on bumpy back roads as you would like. My Renault Coupe is a lot better in that respect.

Also ..
Power Steering pumps go south ... £700 -ish replaced.
Tyres expensive if you want run-flats (no spare)
Replace radiator .. £450

Servicing generally expensive .. if you use a dealer.
