The TOYOTA AVENSIS (2003-06) 5DR LIFTBACK 2.4 VVTI T4 SEQ AUTO is a roomy five-door family car in the UK’s large hatchback class. Its liftback tail offers handy access to luggage, with a more conventional car shape than an SUV. It competes with family favourites such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. The 2.4-litre petrol engine and automatic transmission suit drivers wanting relaxed, straightforward progress, especially on longer journeys and regular commuting. The Avensis is best suited to small families, couples or drivers needing comfortable everyday space, rather than someone seeking a small city car or especially economical runabout. Its T4 specification adds a more equipped feel than basic versions. Mycarcheck.com recorded 15 checks across 10 VINs, a small snapshot.
