Toyota Avensis Hatchback (2003 - 2008) 1.8 VVT-i T3-X 5d (06) Owner Review

This is a typical Toyota...it does everything you'd expect without being exceptional. It's 10 years old and without fail does 1000 miles a week be it for work, shifting photography equipment or indeed the family, three dogs and a large tent...it just does it. Servicing can be done at home...it's easy and costs £30, they are tanks and yes not the most exciting (I've owned mini coopers, Jags, mg's, z3s, st's and fr's in the past) but I know it won't ever let me down ...£1500 very well spent. Pains me to say it but possibly the best car I have owned...the Swiss Army Knife of motoring and if you can get over the image you'll be exceptionally pleased with a car that becomes like an old friend...it'll always be there...and won't ever let you down.
