Toyota Avensis Verso 2.0 D-4D GS 5d (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
High purchase price, but lots of features for the price.
Costs
Very economical to run, will return up to 55mpg motorway driving. Our fuel costs went down with this car (and the other was a 1.3 petrol Toyota Corolla)

On the road
Driving
Drives very well for such a big car. Pretty easy to park, despite length and width.
Performance
Suprisingly nippy for a diesel, picks up quickly in the 30-70 range when you accelerate hard. Surprisingly good uphill as well, even loaded.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Very good (had it 2 years and 20,000 miles).
Image
It's an MPV, what do you expect? But it is very versatile, as a people, luggage and odds carrier
Comfort
Very roomy, seats are easy to tip or remove when needed. The most comfortable car I have ever driven, seats are very supportive. Long journeys are fine, with no tiredness, compared to others I have driven.

Security and Service
Security
No problems, apart from a very sensitive alarm at first - soon corrected
Service
Staff are always helpful and friendly. How many other service centres have dvds for the children, playstation and t.v, amongst other features? Some minor faults have been examined free of charge. Car always valeted inside and out after the service.
