Prospective New Owner

[Nippy1975]

Hi there, the Toyota Avensis estate is on my short list for my next car. I've joined now to get a feel for any potential issues and see what sort of problems can crop up. I hope this is ok.

I'm currently in a Ford Mondeo Mk 3 that I've had for just over 7 years. The other car on my list is a Skoda Superb

Hello James - welcome to Toyota Owners Club.

Have a look at the Honest John review - especially the good & bad section - http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/toyota/avensis-2009/

Hi, Welcome to the club... Enjoy

Thanks, nice to see not many bad things. Really quite like the excel 150 tourer.

My Mondeo has been played with a bit and now runs about 190 bhp up from 155.

Welcome to the club. Cant give you any advice, soz. F-i-L has a 12 plate Avensis and has had no problems at all. Best of luck on choosing, its a tough one.

Post in the Avensis forum with your intended type of driving & mileage & I & others will give you some info. My car is essentially the same as an Excel.

Buying new or used?
