Toyota PROBOX VAN

Very happy with this Toyota Corolla Axio. The fuel economy is excellent and the drive feels smooth even on busy roads. I purchased it through SAT Japan and the whole process was simple and professional. The interior is quite basic compared to newer cars, but for reliability and daily use it is hard to complain.
