Toyota Avensis Estate 2.0 D4D 2005

I bought mine second-hand four years ago in 2008 and it has proved to be a very reliable and economical purchase. It had to have a front wheel bearing replaced at four years old, and the other one a year later, but otherwise no costs at all over and above normal servicing. It’s even still on it’s original exhaust at 6 1/2 years old. It’s quiet and comfortable for a journey, drives very well, but is definitely not what you would call exciting ! Only complaint is the rear parcel shelf which, complete in it’s housing is much too heavy and awkward to remove and replace. As a car it would be difficult to seriously improve on.

Toyota Avensis Estate Diesel 2004

Well-built car apart from headlights (atrocious) and parcel shelf (cheap and flimsy). Very clear instrument but onboard computer greatly over-estimates mpg, and clock in the middle of speedo cannot be seen by passengers, or easily by driver. Quiet and relaxing on long journeys and smooth geachange around town. Very roomy, rear seats fold easily, but safety bar behind rear seats is too heavy and awkward to remove. Big minus point is plastic headlights - our reflectors have melted after less than 40,000 miles, and car is a nightmare to drive after dark. Toyota say headlamp units are a "consumable item" and like oil and filters not covered by any Warranty. But at £500 a pair these are too costly to replace at regular intervals.

Toyota Avensis Estate 1.8 v v t i gs 2001

This is a brilliant car! It won’t rust it’s got a cam chain (no belt to break) it’s well built, it’s quiet, everything works (after 130 000 miles), great heater, goes like a bat and comfortable gives 40 mpg (petrol engine). It also handles pretty good so if you’re looking for cheap reliable quality transport the 2001 onwards Avensis is (in my opinion) unbeatable!

Tom, England

Toyota Avensis Estate 2003

Had this car now for nearly 5 years. My first estate. My first Toyota but not my last. 70k+ miles and no major problems. Minor problem with lights put right by Toyota (out of warranty) at no cost or argument. Good economy, great carrier, comfortable car. No rust. A real quality machine. I know it’s got good residual value. What more could you ask for? Looking forward to new model in 2009!

Gerry Wilde, Herefordshire

Toyota Avensis Estate 2.0 D-4D T2 5dr 2007

I think this is one of the best estates on the market. After looking at several I chose the Avensis because of excellent safety, very good security, huge load space, good standard kit and very generous mpg. It’s a very nice drive and although there is some road noise it’s barely noticable. Very smart looking too. Excellent job Toyota.
