This a petrol avensis then? Think there was just a 1.8 and maybe a 2.0 available
It's the 1.8, yes petrol consumption doesn't seem great, but we won't do much miles with it.
We went for it because of supposed reliability (internet reviews also knew a mini cab driver who had one and had been extremely happy with it). The driveshaft is a massive setback obviously, but we're giving the "fix" option a chance on this occasion...
Boring car interlude over, as you were peeps...

This a petrol avensis then? Think there was just a 1.8 and maybe a 2.0 available, both very reliable but very underpowered and surprisingly thirsty. The diesel engine of that era was excellent, the newer avensis (2010 on shape) was not a patch, quite weak turbo and fueling system.
Rust unlikely to be serious, middling jap saloons just gt surface rust all over in a fairly bad way from jist a few years old, would jist brush down, cold galvo spray and maybe some Hammerite over top of really bothered.
