Toyota Avensis (Old)

Overall Average Rating - 85.48%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 47th

Considering early cars are looking long in the tooth, this isn’t a bad result for Toyota’s family workhorse.

Owners reckon the Avensis is a decent all-rounder: build quality, reliability and running costs all impressed.

Yet poor rankings for the driving dynamics categories suggest shortcomings elsewhere.

Ratings

Position in the Top 100 cars
Reliability: 34th
Build Quality: 36th
Running Costs: 24th
Performance: 81st
Braking: 79th
Ride Quality: 39th
Handling: 88th
Practicality: 25th
Comfort: 42nd
Ease of Driving: 82nd

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 13th)

Last year, Toyota was in seventh, but a poor debut for the Auris sees it plummet. While 13th is still above average, bosses will want a positive reaction to the new Avensis, iQ and Urban Cruiser in 2010.
