2002 Toyota Avensis review from UK and Ireland
"Very expensive shell"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine stopped at 85000 miles
Engine light was orange. Euro care said I could still drive. Stop if light turns red. Engine blew.
Dealer very reluctant to help. Told me I'd have to wait for an hour or two until he could look at car. Then said no courtesy car available as warranty was not valid. Only covered until 60000 miles.
Have to buy new engine even though car is only 2 years old.
General comments?
Car went really well. Very smooth drive.
Cannot believe that it broke down with no warning.
