Used Toyota Avensis
The Toyota Avensis was released back in 1997 and has evolved into one of the most luxury saloons in the market. With Toyota’s bulletproof reliability, strong build quality and technological advancements, the used Avensis has always been a no-brainer for the saloon-buyer who wants to look after their finances. And with 1.5 million Avensis models leaving the production plant in Derbyshire, it shows the sales strength of the Avensis name even in this tough climate.
What You Get
The used Toyota Avensis is a cheap, practical saloon that has respectable levels of luxury and, more importantly, value for money. There’s a vast amount of diesel, petrol, and even hybrid engines to choose from, and with Toyota’s excellent reliability you’re ensured of a painless relationship. One of the 4-door models can comfortably sit a group of adults as it offers plenty of head room and leg room. The Estate model is even larger and comes with a roomy, practical boot, too. If it’s comfort and reliability you’re looking for, then a second-hand Toyota Avensis may just be the car for you.
How it Drives
It’s easy to drive and very good for the economy. The boot space is very good, it’s well-made, comfortable, inconspicuous and has good residuals. Really, it’s the perfect saloon for the economy we’re currently living in. The used 2-litre version is fun to drive and is an incredibly popular choice. On the open road, it’s a quiet and comfortable ride. There’s accurate steering which comes with good grip and control, meaning its overall performance is reliable. A second-hand Avensis has been said to be pretty dull to drive, however, it has so much more going for it. It offers refined motorway cruising and 6-speed manual gearbox option allows you to take complete control.
