Toyota Avensis Hatchback 1.8 GS 5d (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Competitive pricing structure, on par with other manufacturers. A lot of car for the money!
Costs
Incredible mpg returns - 50mpg obtainable on holiday runs. Parts and servicing a little more expensive than other vehicles I have owned but acceptable given other running costs. Insurance good.

On the road
Driving
Typical Toyota - does all that you might want but not in a loud manner!
Performance
Do not expect sports performance. Will cruise quite happily at 90mph and above all day but will not accelerate to that speed rapidly.

Living with it
Reliability
Totally Toyota. Reliability taken for granted. Has not been to dealer except for servicing.
Image
Best suited to Dads. I think it's built for them anyway!
Comfort
Extremely so. Acres of room in back. Silent mechanicals make for very relaxed driving. All controls fall straight to hand.

Security and Service
Security
I have found the security/plip OK. It has worked every time and it has not yet been broken into!
Service
Servicing has been first class, dealer the same.
