2004 Toyota Avensis t4 review from UK and Ireland
"Highly over rated!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
3" paint drip on tailgate.
Steering rack replaced.
Toyota cd player skipped.
Engine under cover came away whilst on m1.
Rear window dermister doesn't work.
Central locking temperamental.
Air bag light intermittent.
Gearbox wines in third gear.
General comments?
I have owned Citroen's for twenty years and at last felt like a change. I went for the toyota avensis because it was given a good review and was reliable.
Sadly I have been most disappointed in the car and the 3 dealerships I have had to deal with.
The car has been back to the dealership, in a year more times than my last Citroen did in 6 years.
The car looks OK, a bit bland.
The interior is Very Black and boring compared to my pevious XM.
Passengers always seem to have the temptation to throw up in the back, might be due to the bouncy ride.
May be reliable, but build quality sucks!
