Toyota Avensis Saloon (2009 - 2018) Excel 1.8 V-matic auto 4d Owner Review

This was definitely a compulsive buy to replace glitchy Renault Scenic that kept throwing up hazard lights. I chose this as it's an 'approved'car with ultra-low mileage. Since I picked it up, it runs absolutely fine. At the highest trim, you really couldn't ask for more. I'm still getting used to a salon after driving MPV/CUV for a while, but I do appreciate salon's more secure stance when side wind kicks up. Although its road feedback and handling is nowhere near my Yeti, I don't miss Yeti's glitchy ABS sensors and turbo engines. It's a motorway cruiser, like most reviewer said, but it really struggles to cope with imperfections on low-speed roads. I've run out of ideas how to improve the ride - perhaps a new set of shox in a few years. All that matters is that I feel more relaxed during longer trips and at night with its AFS bi-xenon. My only gripe at the moment is the plastic door handle that creaks.
