About gasoline engines
What they say about the sedan "Toyota Avensis" 1.8 reviews? With a gasoline engine, this machine rarely causes problems. Among the troubles worth noting the difficult start of the engine in the winter. The same trouble is with the Toyota Avensis 2.0. Reviews say the problem lies in the starter's retractor relay. It does not withstand low temperatures and simply freezes. What do they say about Toyota Avensis 2.0 reviews? On this motor often fails pump. It needs to be changed every 50-60 thousand kilometers.

What they say about the "Toyota Avensis" mechanics reviews? It is not strange, but simple mechanics turned out to be unreliable. As the operating experience has shown, the box is very noisy and transmissions are not included clearly. The reason lies in the ill-conceived release bearing design. The box needs constant attention.

They are quite resource and economical.Should I buy such a car for personal use? There is no unequivocal answer to this question. If the budget allows, you should still pay attention to the car class above (this is "Camry"). But in the absence of a budget, it is worth buying Avensis only on mechanics. It is also worth remembering that after buying a car in the secondary market, you need to make a full audit - replace the timing gear, “shake up” the suspension and change all consumables.
