I have both a fortuna legender an a yaris cross ( for the misses). Can't find a bad thing to say about either. Despite that some are derogatory against the fortuna they don't realise that it no longer uses the hilux train but has its own unique chassis. It also has all the latest features available giving the extra room for trips with family and friends. The cross is an incredible car but i have to sneak a drive. Misses very possessive. Would recommend either depending on your requirements.
Thanks for the clarification. Yes we did get the Yaris Cross. The misses won't let me drive it. It truly is a beautiful vehicle. I didn't see the Corolla option when we got this but I know it available in Australia.
Yes, if you are looking for something a bit smaller than the Everest, Fortuna, etc, Have a look at the Toyota Corolla (called Yaris here I believe) Cross HEV. My wife just bought one and it is superb, no kidding.
I bought the top model Fortuna about 14 months ago. Beautiful car and, despite the comment above, very quiet. Nice to look at as well, a lot better look than the Ford and Pajero.
