Toyota Avensis Hatchback (2003 - 2008) 2.0 D-4D T Spirit 5d (2004/54) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I have a RED T-Spirit and it looks great with the 17" alloys. Most Avensis's blend in but in Red it stands out. I hope that this car says that I recognise quality and that I am not drawn into badge snobbery of lower porforming alternatives.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Most are suprised by the interior quality, equipment level and the space inside.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I deffinately would. I cover 25000miles a year and will be changing my car. Shame the new version is not out for a while.

What are you likely to buy next?

I need a change of environment, so I have already ordered a Mazda 6SL. I hope it serves me as well as the Avensis, of which I am hanging onto.

Franchise

£19,500

October 2004

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Reliability, quality, equipment, design and most of all, the interior.

What was the dealer like?

Better than many if have come accross.

What's it like to drive?

Brilliant on the motorway and good in town. Lots of pull from the turbo-diesel, suprising as not as powerful as some others, but pulls all the way through the rev range, not like many others that pull quickly then fade quickly. Great for overtaking.

What's it like to park?

Great, I have no problems.

Have you had any problems with the car?

no

What's most practical about your car?

everything, it does evrything its supposed to, all of the time.
