What's the difference between a 2011 and 2012 Avensis?
I'm looking at a low mileage 2012 Toyota Avensis 2.0 D-4D Aura, but it appears to be a 2011 spec as the tax is €280. Would this be correct? Other than emmissions and tax would there be much different between 2011 spec and 2012 spec for teh Avensis Aura?

What should I look for on the Honda FR-V?
Hi, I am looking at a second-hand Honda FR-V (2009/2010). Is there anything in particular to watch out for? Are you familiar with the particular hand-brake lever in this car? I found it difficult to engage on my test drive and was wondering if that was just me.
Thanks, Eddie
