    4 Stars Highly recommended 27/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable, great motorway cruiser, refined, great interior

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dull styling, rear suspension not that great for towing

    I have had this car since 2006. This is a company car so I will not mention price. Good points: This car does everything well. The thing it does best though is eat up the motorway miles. It is such a relaxing car and the 2.2 litre diesel really does pull well. It is one of the first cars I have driven which you can drive 90mph+ and it still feels like you are doing 60 mph. Considering this size of car is probably going to spend a lot of time on the motorway this is a definite plus. Toyota reliability does also not disappoint. Had absolutely no problems yet after 2 years of use with 63k miles ... more

    5 Stars Excellent value for money 21/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliability, consumption, price, ride confort

    Disadvantages Disadvantages VIsibility

    I bought this model new about 6 months ago, so far roughly 10,000 miles with no problems. The old model Avensis was clearly a competitor for the likes of the Vectra and Mondeo. With the new version Toyota has clearly upped its game and as well as keeping up with improved Fords and Opels is after more upmarket competition. The general quality and comfort is easily in the Passat standard, and probably also Audi A4 as well. Unless you give a high value to the badge on the front of the car, given that Toyota will also have a superior build quality to these other makes, it's hard to see really ... more

    1 Star The mediocre hits the streets. 28/02/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Large car, front back and boot

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Everything else, it is terrible

    I once had a Vauxhall Viva running on crossply's This is up there with it. My wife refuses to drive it as she can't see out of it. Let me see. Fuel filler replaced, wrong type, kept spitting diesel over my clothes. Only a year and 30000 miles to sort out. Front seat collapsed (I weigh 11Stone), replaced. Has just collapsed again. Rear boot cover fell apart, replaced. Washers have been replaced three times, keep blocking up. Turbo has intermittent failure resulting in zero acceleration but fault cannot be traced. AC is very poor. I have a black car, AC on as soon as temp gets to about 11C as ... more

    5 Stars Not just a sales rep mobile! Review with images 16/12/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Safety, economy, build quality, performance.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Turning circle, slight visibility issues, no cruise control.

    The Avensis is a frugal, easy to drive car that excels in many areas such as ride, build quality, safety and practicality. My experience with the T3x D4D is a very good one. The car really does justify the reasonable 16K (approx) price tag, as I fail to see any competitor in this price bracket that can offer the superior build quality, unrivalled safety and sheer quality of drive. You can return around 45mpg for daily use with ease, and the tank (according to the onboard range counter) will last you around 430 miles. In terms of performance, there can be a minor lag as with most diesels, but ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages nice dirve economic

    Disadvantages Disadvantages this car could kill you!!

    we bought this car in April 2004, we had the rack and pinion changed after 4 months. the front tyres changed 18,500 miles and at that time we were told there was a serious problem with the wish bone/trailing arm and the car was too dangerous to drive!! at 37,000 (Nov 2006) we had to change the front tyres again and NSR tyre was worn. The dealership said the trailing arm had moved again!!. and in Dec 2006 a warning light appeared on the dash ALL 4 glow plugs needed changing. Toyota customer services said that all cars have problems and they have apologised for any incovenience caused. If i ... more

    4 Stars Quick review of Toyota Avensis T2 2.0 D-4D by marting007 01/10/2007
    I use this car for business. I've got a 52 reg with 130k on the clock. Problems... none. The comfort is good but lacks a centre arm rest and cruise control. I get between 47-58mpg so its good on the diesel. Pulls well and cruises on motorways with ease and you know you still have plenty under the bonnett if you need it. Good size boot. Even after the miles i've done in it the rattles are minimal and the engine is still quiet. Personally I would spend extra and get a T3 or T4 you'll get years of reliable, comfortable ... more

    5 Stars The best car I have owned in 20 years 04/03/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages comfort, economy, performance beyond what you expect of a diesel

    Disadvantages Disadvantages There just aren't any

    I cannot speak highly enough about this car. I am a 25k miles a year driver and required a car that would give me value for money, economy, comfort and a feeling of luxury whilst maintaining a level of performance. This car does not dissappoint in any area. The economy is 50 to the gallon, and the trip computer is superb in assisting me to achieve this. The performance on the motorway and urban makes the car feel like a petrol engine. Once warm (after 5 minutes) you do not notice that you are driving a diesel. Leather upholstery gives real comfort. The kids love it. The extra powerpoint in the ... more

    4 Stars Diesel Power - Not enough 11/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages All the extras as standard

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lack of power

    I have owned an Avensis for 2 1/2 years and overall am satisfied. The interior is OK and functional and the equipment supplied as standard is very good. To drive it is a little boring and has a definate pronounced roll when cornering which takes a while to get used to. Toyota seem to have acknowledged this and improved this on the new Avensis. The diesel engine is very economical, I get 44 mpg even when using the air conditioning in the summer, well for 1 day anyway! I'm not sure what will happen to the fuel consumption if we get 2 hot days next summer. There is a down side to having a diesel ... more

    5 Stars Toyta avensis 30/01/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great fuel consumption

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Parts are exspensive

    The Toyota Avensis is a very reliable car. The fuel consuption is very good at around 40 mpg. Value for money The Toyota Avensis is great value for money because it has a range of gadgets and gismos ranging from eletric windows to air conditioning. A brand new Avensis could set you back around £20,000. But for this you get a very large boot ( around 500 litres) and a 2.0litre engine. Quality of the car The car is very reliable and rarely goes wrong. The paintwork is very smooth and stylish and comes in a range of colours. Disadvantages When the windows are down (back or front) there is a ... more
