Maybe you should try the 2.0 diesel? Auris estate would be another option. Its a shame they dont do a 2.4L Petrol, or a V6 in the avensis, I would buy that and LPG in a blink of an eye I looked at the petrol v matic looks good on paper, but when you have 4 fat customers with a driver i dont think it will have the pull as a modern diesel. Try looking at the reviewsand the good / bad comments on the 'honest John' website. V-matic petrol Avensis doesn't have a turbo or dmf - it uses clever engine during to get near diesel-like economy without all the nonsense bolted on that gives problems later on. If something was likely to go wrong, then at least replacing the parking brake is going to be a damn site easier and cheaper than a new gearbox, clutch, engine or a lifetime of niggles that you get with the others.īy nature, all diesels have dmfs, fuel pumps etc. In could go on, but the point I'm making is that all modern cars are so filled with tech these days that there's so much that can go wrong. Mazda 6 - rust issues and prone to diesel engine failure VW/Audi/Skoda - again, not as reliable as theToyota Mondeo - poor build and various reliability issues. Insignia - spate of gearboxes and dmf clutches failing before 30,000 miles but then you have to weight this against the kind of flaws the opposition has. The main flaw with Avensis is the electronic parking brake, which are more prone to failure on the per 2011 versions.
The reason I did is that after looking carefully at the reliability records of other cars in the same class, the Avensis is clearly the most reliable, with petrol Avensis being the most reliable of all. If it helps, I've just bought a 2012 1.8 petrol Avensis.
