Potential Avensis owner

Hi all,

I  just wanted to say hi and introduce myself, I'm currently looking to purchase a new car and have been looking at the Avensis, I was looking for a 2011/12 model (also been looking at the Skoda Octavia) but had one question, in my S2000 I stream music from spotify but wondered if the 11/12 model Avensis can do this?

Thanks in advance

Paul

Hi Paul, welcome to the forum :smile:

Can't answer your question as I don't use spotify plus it's also possible that the answer may vary depending upon which head unit & phone you have.

However, the MY2012 was the facelift & when I was buying in late 2014 I decided that it was worth getting over the original - the price differential should be substantially less now than then so imo I would be looking to get a facelift.

What are your priorities? The Skoda will probably drive/handle better but the Avensis has it's good points too.

Hi Heidfirst,

Thanks for the reply, basically we have a dog and goto Cornwall a lot so have to use my girlfriends Nissan Juke all the time and it's putting a lot of miles on so I thought I'd get a big car, I need something which has a lot of boot space, is reliable, good features and comfy.

I've got a budget of around £7500 and for that I can get a newer Avensis for less than an Octavia, I know the boot is slightly bigger on the Octavia but the Avensis has a little more tech than the Octavia so it's a trade off really.

Fingers crossed the bluetooth streaming will work if I do eventually get one

Hi Paul,

So I guess that you are looking at an estate?

Petrol or diesel? Manual or auto? How long do you plan to keep the car for & how many miles per annum?

As for the boot space;  a) there isn't a lot in it  b) the raw figures don't always tell you everything e.g. the Auris TS has a theoretically larger capacity than the Avensis TS but imo the Avensis has the more useful space (wider, longer - I think that the Auris gains by having a more upright tailgate).

Even if you are unlucky & the streaming doesn't work with your particular phone & oem head unit you can add 3rd party stuff these days for very little - Konrad has a tutorial posted on his earlier Avensis T27.
