The TOYOTA AVENSIS (1997-03) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 VVTI CDX is a roomy, family-sized estate from Toyota’s mainstream range, offering a useful alternative to a saloon when carrying luggage, shopping or outdoor gear. In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical, no-frills family cars rather than sporty or premium models. The CDX offers a well-equipped feel, while its 2.0-litre petrol engine is suited to driving. It should appeal to families, commuters and budget-conscious buyers wanting a versatile car. Rivals include Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat estates; the Avensis is known for packaging and Toyota’s reputation for dependable ownership.
