Toyota Avensis Hatchback D4D T3S 2005

5 star review

The best car I have ever owned!! I have had Lexus, Audi, Mercedes, Vauxhall, Ford and many a VW but this car for all round economy, comfort, space and mega reliability is AWESOME! I agree they are not the best looking car but the pros really do make up for it. Also they are one of the safest large family cars on the road with NCAP 5 rating! YEY Toyota!

Toyota Avensis Hatchback 2008

1 star review

This is the most uncomfortable car to travel in and I agree, road noise is dreadful. There seems to be a total lack of suspension which gives really bad problems after only a short ride. Do not know what we can do about this.

Toyota Avensis Hatchback 2003

4 star review

On my second Avensis now - great car, great looks, plenty of gadgets inside. Albeit road noise at certain speeds... but apart from that very comfortable, safe and a great family car... no regrets.

Toyota Avensis Hatchback 2006

3 star review

This is my first Toyota bought from a local Toyota dealer. The car has done 40,000 miles. It looks in excellent condition with only one previous owner. I have had it for three weeks and I took it on it’s first long run today. The road noise over 45mph is very intrusive and when wet this gets significantly gets louder! Is there any way of dampening the road noise? The car otherwise is a joy to ride, very comfortable with lots of room but I will not be looking forward to long journeys!

Toyota Avensis Hatchback D4D TSpirit 2004

3 star review

Good but flawed. Fuel consumption around 50 mpg (ignore trip computer - it’s way out). Great load carrier - front seats fold flat to reveal huge load area - watch out in rain though - drips fall into area when raise hatch. Lot of road noise and relatively hard ride. Front tyre wear high 12k - 15k miles. Good for cruising on motorway - relaxed and comfortable. High quality cabin and lots of kit although rain sensing wipers erratic. Electric leather seats less comfortable than cloth ones... Has been less than reliable though - least reliable Toyota ever owned. Replaced both rear hatch dampers, 2 headlight units - melted (also watch out for headlight bulb replacement may need removal of front bumper!), and ECU (at a cost of £1,200!!!) Read Toyota Owners forum, lots of similar complaints over reliability. Toyota Service Manager strongly advised purchasing extended warranty - and that wasn’t a sales pitch more out of sympathy and experience.

Toyota Avensis Hatchback 1.8 VVT-i T2 5dr 2006

4 star review

Very good value for money. Excellent on fuel and very reliable so far. I’ve had mine 18 months and nothing has gone wrong with it. Nice enough drive but you do get a fair amount of road noise. Good space and excellent level of comfort for it’s class. A good all round car.
