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 on the clock just the usual servicing. Usually what lets these cars down though is the interior which normally feels very shoddy. Not so with the Avensis. It feels like they have taken pointers from their parent company Lexus. The plastics feel solid. Usually after 1-2 years your start to hear these annoying little squeaks from somewhere but the Avensis is still like the day I got it. The T-Spirit also comes with all the extras you would expect from a higher spec model, leather seats, sat nav (not that great but okay), automatic wipers (can have a mind of their own sometimes) etc. The estate version is very roomy and easily accommodates 4 large adults. The boot is also large enough to accommodate most objects.
Bad points: Style! While this car definitely looks more stylish from the car it replaces and the interior is better than most of the rivals it is still a very dull car on the outside, especially when put beside the new Mazda 6, new Mondeo or the new Honda Accord which is coming out in September. Although they did make some slight cosmetic changes in late 2006 which does make the car look slightly better. The car is a good handling car and safe with all these safety features and traction control but it just feels a bit boring to drive sometimes. Having said that though, after driving Vauxhalls, which is what I usually get lumbered with when I get a courtesy car, then I am always glad to get back into the Avensis, and don't even get me started on the Vauxhalls interior! Not to go off point...!
Summary: This car is a safe car. It does everything well but it won't turn any heads and doesn't excel in any particular way, there is no Wow factor about it! If you do a lot of miles and want lots of trouble free miles and aren't too worried about style then the latest Avensis is a great choice. I didn't buy this car but the value should hold better than say a Mondeo or Vectra and is a better built car in my opinion plus there aren't as many about so it is more exclusive. I am due for a replacement soon. I will be testing out the competition, the new Mondeo does look nice and so does the new Accord, but if they can't match the Avensis I will definitely get another as it has probably been one of the best cars I have had and I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering to get one.
...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 convincing arguments in ... ...racer you don't buy a toyota in the first place. I can't think of any normal driving situation in which you would need more acceleration, unless you are completely mad and overtaking against incoming traffic in an insanely small space. And obviously if you need tons of acceleration and the car doesn't give it to you right away, you just change down a gear. The engine can cope fine with cruising at 140 or 150 kmh, even on very long journeys. I don't ...

Advantages: Large car, front back and boot 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 ... ...AC is very poor.
I have a black car, AC on as soon as temp gets to about 11C as car gets very hot.
It takes twenty minutes for the heating to work properly (our VW TDI takes less than five)
Dreadful in a crosswind, frightened passengers on more than one occasion.
The list goes on and on and on and on.
The wheel trims keep falling off.
Defrosting and demisting is very very poor
Turn off the AC and the car mists up, never had that happen before!

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 ... ...430 miles.
In terms of performance, there can be a minor lag as with most diesels, but will swiftly deliver you to 60mph in about 11 seconds. The mid range turn of speed between 50-80 is very good which allows it to cruise the motorway very effectively. Around town the car is easy to drive (for what is quite a long car), and makes the light work of poor surfaces and stop-start traffic. Handling is good for a Japanese car, but will roll a touch if ...

Toyota customer services said that all cars have problems and they have apologised for any incovenience caused. If i hadn't gone into the dealership because of noise i noticed, i would only have found out about the wishbone when it snapped, while i was driving. Which could have been fatal!

Quick review of Toyota Avensis 2.0 D-4D Saloon
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 motoring from this car. ...
