In Toyota range, Avensis is in the middle between Corolla and large Camry.
![]() Since 2007 Avensis station wagon has replaced Toyota Caldina. ![]() Along with the gasoline engines, there is also the wide range of the diesel ones. These are the main problems and malfunctions of Toyota engines, such as knocking, vibration, oil leaking, overheat, the ways of fixing them, weight, tips on the engine oil, its capacity, service life, performance tuning, specs and a lot of other things. ![]() Its just not part of its plan, and it has a point - admittedly one that most CAR readers just wont get. There are a lot of Tupperware stackers out there, which is why it sells such a staggering amount of cars. Perhaps the new generation Avensis will give suburbanites their morning thrill, without the need for stories about knife-wielding immigrants. But it looks like theyve fitted the wrong-sized bonnet, with the rim finishing at half-mast somewhere back behind the lights. Theres a badge and some lights but it could be any saloon from the Pacific Rim. In the Avensis the 1.8 Valvematic, with intelligent variable valve timing is 10 more efficient than the unit it replaces to the tune of 154gkm, while power is up by 14 to 145bhp taking the 0-62mph time under 10 seconds. It is smooth and willing and with emissions of only 134gkm its combination of power and efficiency is class-leading, and crucially offers company car drivers, where eight out of ten of these Toyota saloons will end up, a low tax bill. The last model was superbly reliable and there is no reason this wont be. In fact, the only highlight of the interior is the crinkly plastic across doors and dash which looks like fossilised bingo wing skin. Although its not much bigger than the car it replaces, the Avensis manages to improve on such old fashioned virtues as rear legroom, which is excellent. The trade off is a high level of ride comfort hitting its target market entirely. Logic surely dictates that in this most logical of car ranges buyers should opt for the one with the most space and adaptability, as well as verging on actually being desirable. But Toyota is looking to attract buyers who see their car as a burdensome government cash cow or something akin to a fridge or vacuum cleaner, and service them accordingly with something that does the job with a minimum of fuss but little panache, and I fear many will want a bit more spice in their lives than this.
