2001 Toyota Avensis Verso GLS review from UK and Ireland
"A versatile mpv that handles like an estate car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alarm over-sensitive, readjusted and no further problems.
Front brake disks warped and replaced at 8,000 miles.
CD unit/SatNav controller died at replaced at 24000.
Handbrake not releasing. Possible handbrake cable fault, currently under investigation under warranty.
General comments?
This is a great car that has been used for everything. It has proven to be very versatile and we would not be without it.
Enough room for 2 adults (I am over 6'4" tall), 3 kids, 3 big dogs and camping equipment for two weeks. The adults and dogs also manage sleep in the back when the rear seat are removed.
The diesel economy is very good, 45mpg for general running around and 40mpg+ for motorway long runs with a full load.
The SatNav system is great, but make sure you get an up to date data CD.
