2015 Toyota Avensis D-4D Excel 2.0 turbo diesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

An excellent vehicle I want to keep a long time

Faults:

I have had to do nothing except servicing, no faults to deal with.

General Comments:

Despite many saying this is a dull car, I rather like driving my Avensis. Nothing special, that is for sure, but it makes an excellent all round modern car that never lets you down.

Excel model has plenty of equipment and heated leather seats, the interior of this car is a very nice place to be. Dash looks very smart and stylish. Cabin is spacious and quiet on the move; even at motorway speeds the car has less noise than most cars I have driven before.

2.0 turbo diesel can move quick enough and I have averaged around 55 mpg. The car drives very nicely though it is no sports car, hard cornering will result in typical front wheel drive under-steer.

Exterior of my car is white and looks the part with standard alloy wheels and rear window tints. Updated 2015 model is an improvement on the original 2009 design with the odd looking grille. To be honest it is still a bit ugly at the front, the car will never stand out from the crowd. Styling is just odd, though I do like the look of the car from the sides and the back.

A very nice modern car that is cheap to run and easy to live with, I cannot find any negative things to say about the Avensis. As everyone always says about Toyota - buy a looked after one and you have bought reliability.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

You got a good car, we have 4 Toyota Avensis working our local private hire taxi service and they are easily the most reliable out of all other cars there (Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia, etc). Not the best car to look at, but you can't put a price on reliability.
