I used a Toyota sparky/ daihatsu atrai 7 as daily and it's perfect. Length less than 4 meters and wide 1.55 makes it best for small towns. From japan it can cost 3k (delivery not included),has a variant with 4wd.
Hi, yes I have sold a few higher mileage Toyota verso for under the £6k mark. So you should be able to find the models listed albeit they'll likely be over 10 yrs old.
Hi, does the Toyota have a timing chain or belt? I used to have a 2005 2.2 d, was economical but the egr let me down once and also had an oil leak 🤦🏽♂️
Some have higher road tax. Speedo is in km and the under body needs sealing. I just prefer UK registered cars. It's cheaper to get import, but at the same time they dont hold their residuals as well as UK registered ones
The tdci with manual gearbox and Zetec spec sufficient but spec personal preference..I would go for Zetec as it has basics as the more electrics you have more to go wrong. The diesel engine pretty robust if serviced but remember in this budget most won't be ulez compliant, a 2.0 petrol is realistic alternative, just make sure has full service history in all regards. Plenty around so make sure to get one with maintenance history even if it means paying a few hundred more
Do the Japanese imports like the petrol Estima have good MPG for long journeys? Just worry that theyre better for small town commutes and can be thirsty on longer runs as the electric motor not in use
The hybrids work best in town. But still relative to their size and weight not that bad on fuel...just don't compare to what you get on motorway if you have a diesel. I personally just prefer UK registered cars that way no issues with parts etc
Such a helpful video. I was looking at a toyota Estima import.
Thanks for your kind comments. Glad the video helped

Thanks for sharing! 😊
Hi Sutsi, great vid, looking at a Zafira B as I need 6 seats, is petrol the best engine to go for or are the diesels ok?
The diesel is a good engine only reason I said petrol is because of the ULEZ and clean air zone compliance.
Watching this 2024, do you think this is still applicable? I am looking into buying my 1st car here in the UK

Yes it's still helpful. And also the Skoda Kodiak. Search for it. My preferred 7 seater car is the Toyota Verso and SUV 7seater is the Kodiaq
What with Mitsubishi Grandis 2009, the perfect mvp car
Good shout.

The 1.8 petrol engine in the verso is chain driven
I've seen loads of imported tourens. What's the downsides of an imported car? Higher insurance?

What combo should I go for in the Ford Galaxy?

How about the smax 2.0 petrol titanium @@sutsi
@@irfanjadooqadri3951 bit juicy on the fuel. Also maintenance history essential.
Regarding the Zafira we’re you referring to the petrol 1.8 manual?
The 1.8 manual is good. The 1.6 is too underpowered. Again up to date service history is very important.
Thanks. What sort of mileage should I look at?
@@andrewblake949 you want to try get as low mileage as possible. I'd stay under 100k...again full service history key

No Dacia?
@@AndreVanKammen not in that budget
Hello, can you help me get one used Toyota verso?
I have a couple of verso automatics for sale. You can email me sutsicars@yahoo.com
This is so old
I only uploaded this last year....with a budget of £6k...yes of course a lot of the cars on this list will be old.
@@sutsi ok I see. But it's still good. We had a Toyota Verso and It was so nice. I miss it now cuz my dad sold it.
Like you😂
