2003 Toyota Avensis T3-S review from UK and Ireland
"Thoroughly recommended"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both headlights have been replaced following botched attempts to replace blown bulbs by a Service Centre. Headlight bulb replacement is not a DIY job-I would suggest that this is a design fault/safety issue.
General comments?
Other than the headlight bulbs, the car has been 100% reliable. It has a very solid feel to it, is comfortable, and eats up miles on long journeys.
Out and out performance is not particularly outstanding, but the 1.8 petrol engine is very economical and an excellent performance/fuel economy compromise.
The interior is cavernous, especially with the rear seats down on my hatchback version.
