Toyota CH-R Confused

I'm surprised anybody could fall in love with a C-HR, unless their guide dog is the one that'll be driving.

First time I saw one on the road, I actually burst out laughing. It's the most ridiculous collation of random lines, shapes, angles and "styling features" ever to be thrown together by a committee that never met.

I didn't know what they were and have just looked. Ridiculous. Looks like a Barry-boy kit on a fat Ford Focus.

I actually think it's a smashing looking car. I'd be tempted of they were a bit quicker.

I like it too, its lovely.

Definitely wouldn't buy one though. Far better car for your money available, and looks aren't everything.

I think it would last for a good 5-10 years so why not get one? Buying a used car is such a headache. My friend recently purchased a so call reliable car and it's been in and out the garage. It had full service history and only did 50k miles. Nissan Qashqui

Ok so I am thinking either the Peugeot or the CH-R

The Toyota C HR is mechanically the same as the Toyota Auris Hybrid and Prius.
Might be worth looking at the Auris Hybrid, as you will get one cheaper than a c hr, and it will get similar mpg.
You need to consider that in order to get the 10 year warranty on the hybrid battery you will need to get it serviced at a Toyota dealer.

My son had a lift in a ch-r recently, he found it a bit claustrophobic in the back,

They look like the [STRIKE]Bloated Renault Clio[/STRIKE] Nissan Juke to me, with the same problems of big car, little space, but the Juke is unbelievably popular with young ladies, likely the Toyota will be too, with the advantage that it has nothing to do with Nissan build quality or Renault parts.;)




If you like it, and you want it, and you can afford it, get one, life is too short for wishing you had something that you could have anyway.

I paid £461 from Ebay for a car, I ran it for 6 years and apart from the normal service things, it barely spent time at the garage.

I also spent £750 on a car, it sailed through the MOT every year.

However, back in the early 2000's, we spent over 4k on a car....it was forever in the garage, cost a fortune at every MOT and eventually went bang with less than a 100k on the clock.

Even further back, I paid £100 (early 90's) for a car, I did 10 miles in the bloody thing before it died. The car before that (purchase price £150), took us all over the country in thousands and thousands of miles of trouble free motoring.

The last two cars have been new ones, the first one had a weird, not always present electrical gremlin, the current one had to be returned to the showroom before completing the journey home after pick up (thankfully minor fault which was easily fixed)!

Paying a little or paying a lot does not guarantee a car won't be forever in the garage.
