2003 Toyota Avensis Break review from Belgium
"Reliable, but with some disturbing features"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the Headlights had to be replaced twice already, the other once. They cannot be replaced by the driver, which makes the repair quite expensive.
General comments?
This car is very safe, and the engine is reliable.
Fuel consumption is not as low as advertised, or as indicated on the display, but remains acceptable for such a heavy car (6,5 liters/100km highway).
Acceleration in the lowest two gears is slow. Power becomes only available at relatively high rpm.
