2007 Toyota Axio Review
Let’s face the facts- the Toyota Axio isn’t one of those cars built to win beauty contests. Chances are no one will ever compliment how cute your car looks if you’re driving an Axio. It’s the car you buy if you’re a “middle-of-the-room” kind of guy who doesn’t like drawing attention to themselves. But if you want a car that will get the job done, in a hassle-free manner, then look no further than the Axio. It’s practical, efficient, and more importantly, affordable. This 2007 Toyota Axio review looks at why the sedan is a top choice for Kenyan families looking for a reliable vehicle that delivers fuel economy, comfort, and style without breaking the bank.

Toyota Axio Design and Comfort
Never have we doubted Toyota’s ability to deliver on practicality and comfort. Despite being a plain Jane on the outside, Toyota Axio has an impressive, well-designed interior layout that offers a feeling of serenity.
The dashboard is neatly arranged, with essential controls and features within easy reach. The seats are also supportive and cozy, so you can comfortably do long-distance trips.
Surprisingly, the Axio offers more leg- and headroom for back passengers than its station wagon version, the Fielder. It’s a good car even for tall people.
The only downside to the Toyota Axio is that it sacrifices boot space for more cabin space. You won’t be able to carry the entire farm on your trip back from upcountry (you might want to buy its older brother- the Toyota Fielder– for that).
Axio Ride Handling and Quality
One interesting thing about the Toyota Axio is that the steering wheel is very light. So it offers easy manoeuvrability and nimble driving. It feels stable when driving at high speeds.
Most Toyota Axios are made for the Japanese domestic market but they fit well into the local Kenyan market without any need for major modifications. The car has respectable ground clearance so you won’t need any spacers. Its suspension system can effectively absorb the average bumps and humps of Kenyan roads while standard safety features like the anti-lock braking system provide a secure driving experience.
Again, Toyota’s ability to deliver on practicality and reliability won’t be in question if you buy the Axio. It has smooth engine performance and power compared to its competitors.
Is the Axio a Cost-Effective Car?
The 2007 Toyota Axio presents itself as an affordable car for individuals seeking a cost-effective daily commute vehicle. This is a good car with an excellent fuel economy. It’s relatively cheap to buy, run, and maintain. That’s the main reason it’s one of the most popular sedans in Kenya.
Most car owners state that they have owned the car for more than four years, meaning that it’s durable. The Toyota Axio is the type of car you’ll pass down through generations, probably gift it to your grandson as a graduation or wedding gift and it will still serve them well. It’s a car that’s destined to outlive generations!
You also won’t have to worry about spare parts when you need to make the occasional replacements. Toyota spare parts are readily available in Nairobi and across the county.

This car has got your back, whether you just need something for a daily commute or long-distance trips. And it isn’t as old as the year of make suggests, it’s probably in better shape than you are.
