Hi Dhanya,

I'm assuming you mean the mid-2000s version of the Avensis? A good car, really. Beautifully made, pretty close to indestructible in fact and surprisingly good to drive with positive steering and a well-controlled ride quality. Roomy too, but it can be hard to find one now that hasn't been put through dog's abuse or been worked into the ground as a minicab,  so shop around carefully.
