2014 Toyota Avensis Icon Tourer 2.0 D4D from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Big estate car that is very durable
Faults:
Mechanical wear and tear to suspension, brakes and so on.
EGR valve needed cleaned.
DPF re-gen.
General Comments:
Not bad to drive, the Avensis is a nice car for family use.
Tourer model is a huge estate, not bad looking in darker colors.
Icon spec has all the electrics you need. Comfy seats. Quiet on the move.
2.0 diesel engine is smooth and does around 50 mpg.
They command a premium to buy used, but they are worth it in the long run - easily one of the most reliable in its class.
A little dated not, they have been about since 2009, but this 2014 model has had the mid life updates and still felt like an early 2000's car, no bad thing as it was nice and simple in design. I think cars like this will be around for a long time yet.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I had one of these as a taxi and it was a great car. Terribly ugly though. Good thing I couldn't see that grille sitting behind the wheel all day.
