Toyota Avensis Hatchback 2.0 D4-D GLS 5d (2002/02) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A 2 year old car, at half the original list price? I'd call that value
Costs
None, apart from cracked windscreen through stone. Not the car's fault. Fuel economy hits a previous petrol driver: 34.5 mpg at 100 mph, average mpg, touring continent and around London driving = 53mpg. What more can one say?

On the road
Driving
Cruises at well above the UK legal limit with complete ease
Performance
Good overtaking oomph in 3rd from 40mph to 80. Driving abroad, there is a nice chunk of torque available at 90mph. It will cruise effortlessly at 90 - 100 +

Living with it
Reliability
A Swiss clock. It just doesn't go wrong. It will be serviced with diligence to keep it like this.
Image
A rep's or minicab driver's car? I don't care. I know I could get in this car and drive to Russia and not get let down.
Comfort
Seats are adequate. Covered many miles, no backache. Air-Con,climate control, SatNav. Top that for the money.

Security
