doesnt really bother me, not the sort of car you see a 23 year old driving more 50+ but probably says im practical and spends his money else where, which I do

Its no slug when it comes to performance, plenty of power on the motorway for overtaking, lots of torque mid-range, doesnt like being rushed through the gears though, but if you want to drive a car like that dont buy an avensis..simple

Havent got parking sensors, good visibility all round, parking not a problem

Absolutly massive boot, when you fold down the back seats.
