#ToyotaLove – Right vehicle for your family’s needs?
Last week, I was invited to a Toyota blogger event at Canada Olympic Park (COP) – it was a #ToyotaLove themed morning, based on things you should consider when choosing a vehicle.
Having recently bought a new vehicle myself (and a larger crossover to boot) I was impressed with the thought the organizers put into the presentation. The primary focus based on the family theme, of course, was on the larger vehicles in Toyota’s line-up, from mini-vans (which make all sorts of sense for families) to 8-seater SUVs.
The most important consideration, I thought while hearing the presentation, was consider what you are using a vehicle for, and shop with the accessories (like car seats, and other accessories) WITH you. This made all sorts of sense – and something I wouldn’t have thought of.
During the test-drives, surprisingly, it was Toyota’s largest vehicle shown – the Sequoia – that got my attention. It’s an 8 passenger SUV featuring a 3rd row of seating for those requiring extra towing capacity and more seating than their other models. I really liked the comfort of this SUV, and I really appreciated some of the cooler features like the side-view mirrors which automatically adjust when you put the vehicle into reverse. Granted, for a two-person family such as mine, there’s absolutely no need for the immense amount of space the Sequoia offered, but if I ever needed the 7,400 lb towing ability (double my CUV’s), I would definitely consider this vehicle.
Thanks for the fun morning @ToyotaCanada! I had a great time…

It’s not at all practical, but I’m getting to love the Scion FRS / Subaru BRZ more and more and more.
Those are beautiful cars, actually! Are you thinking of buying the Scion?

Toyota reputation is built through it product quality and its efficiency. No doubt that this is the right vehicle for our family needs.
