Hyviä arvosteluja on Top Gear antanut uudesta Avensiksesta:
Toyota Avensis overall verdict: 5/10
Comfort: 6/10
Great on motorways, where the Avensis can iron out the bumps, but there's a deal of wind noise when the going gets faster. The suspension is a bit niggly on smaller roads - it gets crashy and unrefined - and the steering is numb, so it's a mixed bag.
Performance:7/10
Not really, no. So far we've only tried the 2.2-litre diesel, and with its 148bhp and 250lb ft of torque, 0-62mph in 8.9 seconds and 131mph top end there's not much to talk about. The diesel is noisy and the auto ‘box takes a while to get the gist of what you want it to do. Hopefully the petrol manual versions might sort a bit of that out.
Cool: 3/10
Ha. You have an Avensis because your boss doesn't really like you (fleet vs private sales are set to be five to one). It looks better than before, but that's not saying much. There is no upside.
Quality: 7/10
The good news is that the new Avensis has nicked some cues from the Lexus IS, so the dials and dash look much better. There's nothing wrong with the Avensis' quality - it's just boring.
Handling: 4/10
More of the same from the mid-size Toyota in that it ticks most of the boxes, but as soon as you ask more from it, the Avensis just gives up early. You won't be excited driving this car - there's too much understeer that has to be controlled by the electronics. Good for munching through the motorway network, because that's the job description - though it doesn't like cross winds. Drive it through corners and you find initial liveliness but detached steering and strange inconsistent sogginess as it loads up.
Practicality: 6/10
It's got a big boot, decent space all round. Erm. That's it, I've fallen asleep. Zzzz.
Running costs:8/10
The fleet-type stats are impressive: 149g/km and over 50mpg make the financial controller a happy man. Insurance is low because nobody ever steals them even if the keys are left taped to the door. This silver cloud is small and not particularly shiny.

Mitä tuossa lukee? Lukematta tietää että toyota on hyä ja kestävä auto.
Toyotan tylsyyden "ylistyslauluahan" tuo näytti olevan, vaihteeksi brittienglannilla. Ennen sanottiin boring, boring, Arsenal... nyt taitaa olla boring, boring, Avensis.
