Driving report Toyota Land Cruizer: mums Light Cruiser

In the U.S., it is striking: in the strong and large SUV the weaker sex is at the wheel, preferably in the Hummer. Sheer size, high waistline and small windows just gives a feeling of security. Corners and edges as in military vehicles to support that yet. Said, it is who can transfer these rules bodies, should appeal to the ladies.

For example, like the designers of the Toyota Urban Cruiser thought. He looks like a small cross in the urban traffic flow. It may be the parallel to military systems will trigger on the Urban Cruiser owners wonder. But this Toyota has some martial-edged, which formerly the American and later the Japanese off-road vehicle was proper.

The high seating position for a good overview and the shoulder-high walls as the apparent protection against the outside world Toyota Urban Cruizer offers in each case. Furthermore, lots of interior space with a large distance to the roof, high variability and room for four to five people - enough for a shopping spree with the family, the junior transport to the sport or the trip to the countryside.

No problem driving the five-door can too. Auto designers say, rightly, every vehicle also say something about its users. The Urban Cruiser, it is not so much about its image. Here, the exterior looks inward at the driver and uses its security needs in the space of an MPV. My wife at any rate loved the Urban Cruiser.

It is every car in the courtyard an opinion, many of them positive, but also negative. Cruiserweight they found everything pretty clear and good reach. Nothing was foreign to her. She enjoyed the good visibility and a turning circle of nearly twelve feet just for inner cities designed agility, had no problem with the operation, even with the six-speed manual transmission, engine and ride comfort.

The car matched her and her trips with family and friends or the bulk purchase of firewood. Even her husband had no problem with it in the driver's seat. If it feels good, feels good too. If it were so easy but to satisfy them. The rather plain interior they could not abandon their enthusiasm.

What I felt was hard plastic landscape, saw it as a particularly clear and not cheap, but as easy to clean. The fact that the payload - as is so often the case with the Japanese - more than 375 kg fails for a five-seater too low, they did not care. She was pleased at the high interior, where even the seat vorfand giant of a husband in the back seat enough leg room and plenty of head space.

What technology can provide design and problem-all is amazing. And this insight is true not only in this vehicle class. The cars of her husband she has never praised Sun You who are always too complicated, too much and too fast. For the tour in the city they would prefer without hesitation the Urban Cruiser.

My wife is in a reasonable and meets cars completely unemotional. But the high shoulders, the small windows and the distinctive edge it but have promised. For all the rationality of the car opposite - the feeling of being protected behind high "walls" has, apparently also with her.
