Toyota Picnic 2.0 GS

Stan Barrett was reputedly the first man to break the speed of sound in a car. His Budweiser Rocket went supersonic in 1979, but due to a timing anomaly the record was never officially registered. History has forsaken Stan Barrett and it has been similarly tough on the Toyota Picnic. The mini-MPV sector is one that sets car buffs nodding sagely. "How different things were before the Renault Scenic came and changed everything." Indeed, before Renault's beloved Scenic, MPVs were large, cumbersome and bulky. All except the Toyota Picnic. Whilst not as small as a Scenic or a Zafira, here was a mini-MPV before the term was coined, for sale in Britain while the Scenic was just a concept waiting to happen. In many ways the Picnic is Toyota's invisible car. Try to picture a Picnic and its amalgam of soft curves, edgy details and bulky silhouette are difficult to get a handle on. Beneath this visual anonymity, the Picnic is a well thought out concept. Ideas that other manufacturers are incorporating now are evident in the Picnic's interior. These factors serve to make a used Toyota Picnic a bargain way to enter a hot market sector.
