2003 Toyota Avensis Spirit review from UK and Ireland
"The Glamor model, you allways wanted to take home to mother!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Having never owned or even driven a Toyota prior to this Avensis, I wasn't quite sure what all the fuss was about?
After opening the door to get in, it all came clear to me, if it ain't in the dashboard, then it ain't been invented!
The array of gadgets left me drooling, so much, I had to watch that I didn't shut the door on my tongue!
The all round build quality of the car is top notch, not sure where the Sprirt fits into the range though?
Satellite navigation is excellent and the climate control, is far superior to anything fitted to a Vauxhall or Ford fleet car.
Only fault's I could find were, a slight lag when trying to overtake. The marriage between the 2.0ltr engine and the Automatic gearbox seems a bit fraught! And, after driving my new Vectra, I felt the ride was a little on the noisy side, when on the Motorway.
