TP is a paid Toyota blogger, or he hasn’t driven a CV6.

Having just driven a CV6 Rav it’s the only explanation.

The review is spot on in every respect except one, it fails to mention the CV6′s apalling brakes.

A truly dangerous car.

Car advice.. Maybe a few reviews from other brands might stop all of the above. It’s like a broken record. I agree totally and wholeheartedly with your review on how the CV6 drives. The CV6 is a superfluous vehicle on our market (especially against the Kluger) and dealers are practically giving them away to move old stock (the car is only 8 months old!). Take it as gospel from somebody who sells them for a living and drives one every day as a demonstrator.

As the Editor of this website and someone who over more than 30 years has driven just about everything from a Fiat 500 to the Lemans winning Bentley racecar, I can say that Paul Maric consulted me about his review before it was published. Not only did I approve the publication of the review, I spent two days driving the car and in principle endorsed his impressions of the vehicle.
Equally that doesn’t detract from Anthony Crawford’s differing impressions.
That’s what they do – review cars and that can mean entirely different opinions, take from both reviews what you can and form your own opinions but don’t accuse either of them of lies, or improper dealing, just accept their differing opinions and move on!

Paul Maric might be right or wrong i don’t know because i haven’t had the pleasure of testing this vehicle BUT he has the right to express his honest opinion without being called a liar or imply that he is corrupt because we don’t know him well enough to accuse him of anything more than getting a review right or wrong…..so stop putting pressure on people who have the balls to disagree with the majority!!

Good to see you’re around Anthony. Maybe you could tidy up some of the aggression on here if you’re at the mothership’s helm, or have a go in the morning.

GhisGT – you would know a good review right? How many new cars have you driven in the last 24 months? You can count them on one hand right?

We do this for a living! The fact that my colleague Paul Maric and I, disagree on whether we like a vehicle or not, is precisely why we continue to grow in leaps and bounds. It’s called editorial independence and we are proud of that. It isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time, colleagues from Car Advice disagree on their overall opinion on a particular vehicle!
