1.8 Valvematic Multidrive saloon & 2.2 D-4D 150 manual Tourer - With new and highly accomplished Insignias, Lagunas, Mondeos, Passats and others in the class all already on sale, Toyota’s competent but slightly lacklustre Avensis was in need of a major revamp.

I’ve had my Toyota Avensis for around 3 years, but from the start I have complained about a heavy clutch and I have to be fair as the Wrexham dealership also noted a heavy clutch. As it was still under warranty they put a so called ’fix’ in, but it was no different. They then changed the clutch and it seemed OK, but 2 months later I lost the clutch completely. I called out the AA and it needed a new master cylinder? I still have trouble with a stiff clutch and now the warranty has expired. My wife has trouble driving it and I am finding that over a period of time, my hip on the clutch foot is giving me trouble. On a good note, and not to take away its good points, I will say it has been reliable and has saved me a small fortune on fuel. It feels safe to drive and is the smoothest car I’ve ever driven. I still love it to bits, but this problem and the bad lock are taking away the fun out of drving it.

This is a reliable car with plenty of room in the back. It’s a comfortable drive. Many safety features installed and overall, a great car.

Rubbish car. Bought it with 10k on the clock back in 2004 and after 30,000 odd miles (1 year) new steering rack required: almost £1100!! what a joke. anyway sold the car (as part of my business) 1 year later and the poor person who bought it had to replace the engine 3 months later! £3500. The car was always serviced, mostly before the mileage was due. Must of been a bad year for Toyota as I’ve heard other owners with same probs. Now have a Mazda, the best car for high mileage drivers.

Excellent car with sat nav - had for 5 years now and no trouble whatsoever - but now the model is becoming dated.

The Avensis is a good family car, reasonably priced. Plenty of space and reliable. I test drove both the petrol and the diesel models and the diesel is far and away the better of the 2. The road noise on the petol was too much but on the diesel it was almost unnoticable. A great family car.
