Toyota Avensis Tourer

- The Avensis saloon was roomy, well constructed, reliable and extremely safe. The Avensis Tourer is every bit as good but with the added bonus of the extra load capacity. You could describe the Avensis... read more

Toyota Avensis Tourer D4D Station Wagon 2002

I’m from Portugal, and have owned mine since 2005. I bought it with 80,000kms on, now has 213,000kms. 105,000kms - flywheel and clutch 140,000kms - steering failed 210,000kms - turbo (IHI - not repairable!) And the flywheel is failing again now... Very cheap to run, reliable (flywheel apart). Shame on you Toyota, you should call every owner to replace Flywheel!

Toyota Avensis Tourer 2.0 D4D T3-S 2003

Bought second-hand about 18 months ago. I can say that the car is extremely practical, cheap to run (50 mpg) cheap to insure (group 8) and is well equipped (SatNav as standard). The bad news is that it has been more problematic than the 1997 Vauxhall Vectra Tourer that I had for the ten years previously. Despite the fact it has a full service history (for now) I have had to replace both front shock absorbers (£250), Front Wheel Bearing (£80), Headlight Assist - known design fault (£65 for non original unit, plus you have to remove the bumper and headlight to change a bulb) and it has a dead spot at between 2000 and 2600 revs when warm. I have owned two cars for almost ten years before changing them but I don’t see myself owning this one for more than three years (regardless of credit crunch). I do like the Avensis , but I must say that Toyota’s reputation for reliability has to be questioned.

Toyota Avensis Tourer Tourer D-4D 2004

Bought at 85,000 miles and dual mass flywheel/clutch completely shot. Cost of repair £1,500 - fortunately not borne by me. Further research shows that this is a common problem with the D-4D cars that Toyota is nbot prepared to recognise - shame on them. I had a 1988 Toyota Carina II for 10 years from 1991 to 2001. By the time I had got rid of it, at 200,000 miles plus, nothing major whatsoever had gone wrong with it. I had a 1997 Carina E Estate from 2001 to 2008 - again a high mileage at disposal - over 170,000 and nothing major had ever gone wrong with it. It is simply not good enough for a modern car to suffer this type of breakdown at such a relatively low mileage. Toyota's stock has gone way down with me. These cars should be good for 250,000 miles without expensive major components failing like this.

Toyota Avensis Tourer 2.0 D-4D T3S 5dr 2004

Excellent estate car. I bought my 54 plate Avensis Tourer 2 months ago and I’m very happy with it indeed. A very solid and safe car with excellent handling and very good fuel usage. As second hand cars go, if you can find one with reasonable mileage they are a very reliable car to go for.
