Toyota Avensis 2.0 Diesel TR
100%
2013 Toyota Avensis Diesel Manual Sedan by Avensis fan • 2nd January 2014
I've had my car for 6 months from new. Very well built with an excellent touch screen Satnav and built in Bluetooth. The car is very quick with lots of torque and returns 60+mpg with only £30 road tax. Niggles; not as roomy as the older model and the lack of a hatchback option reduces load carrying flexibility; taller drivers need to try getting into the driving seat before buying as my knees get caught under the steering column; the electronic handbrake button is hard to reach and sometimes doesn't automatically apply when the ignition is switched off which can be unnerving; I find it difficult to get a good driving position and the rear seats are hard and uncomfortable; the reversing camera is difficult to get used to and is more a means of checking for pedestrians at night rather a practical parking aid.

All in all, a very reliable car that I would certainly buy again hoping the Mr T sorts out the niggles next time.
