2006 Toyota Avanza SX review from South Africa
"Disappointing!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pads wore at around 4500km's and continued to do so every 3500km's to 6000km's.
Front wheel bearings seize every 4000km's to 6000km's. Have already spent approximately R7000.00 on replacing the brake pads and my Avanza has just done 40000 km's.
The wheel bearings are still under warranty, but have seized approximately around seven times to date.
Not sure what will happen when my car is off the warranty and I have to start paying for the wheel bearings every time they seize??
General comments?
The car is extremely unstable when braking quickly, sometimes even jumps when coming to a sudden stop.
The engine runs well, and I have had no problems with any mechanical issues to date.
