New front brake discs after 16k and new front exhaust pipe at 22k, both done under warranty.
Great car. This is my 5th Toyota since 1981. I bought this car in 1994 at 20 months old and it has been superb. It has been all over Britain and europe, passes its MOT first time every time. It's such a good car that although it's due for a change I can't find anything to change it for, todays equivalent (Avensis CDX) costs 18k approx.
I agree.
Great car, very good performance all round!
Not so good points: high back window, difficult to see out of when reversing.
Annoying wind vibration noise from the nearside dashboard area on windy days!
Would welcome idea's to quieten it.
The 2 litre engine is OK overall. The fuel consumption is very poor (I only manage 30 MPG), and to race at traffic lights would bring this all the way down to 15-20MPG. The tyres don't last very long. 20,000 miles for the front tyres, and they cost £100 each. The acceleration to tyre wear is very low relative to other cars.
However, there is no doubt that it is comfortable and very reliable -starts first time and few noises. I would therefore rate the car 7/10.
