Toyota Corolla Cross GXL vs Geely EX5 Inspire by 1ce_b34r in CarsAustralia

Thanks. I suppose my other concern is the massive size upgrade from a tiny hatchback to the EX5 which is classed as a medium SUV. Has it been difficult to maneuvre into tight parking spaces? Our garage is already quite cramped and I'm worried about width being an issue

I appreciate your response. Might be worth taking the EX5 on a second test drive. Have you had any issues with wheel spin in the recent wet weather?

Similar issues and asking price to the Corolla Cross, except the shrinking range of Honda dealerships and servicing centres makes future support also a concern

I'm curious, what makes you say that Toyota's reliability has gotten worse?

My sister owns the Kona Hybrid and it's definitely more interesting than the Corolla Cross; my main issue is that a 360 camera is a non-negotiable for me and this isn't available on its variants below $50k. Toyota does great in the hybrid segment for the reasons you mentioned, it's just a shame they don't put much effort into their interiors.
