Hello everyone,

Just found the site today. I've got a Oct 03/53 Avensis 1.8 T3-S Tourer. Excellent Site :thumbsup:

Cheers

Baz

Welcome baz :thumbsup: .....how does the tourer differ from the hatch or estate or is it just a name change......like the idea, if any good I'm looking for something a bit bigger than the corolla I've got. :)

Cheers for the welcome :thumbsup:

Tbh, I'm not the biggest fan of it.

Pros:

Fantastic engine

Spacious

Reliable

Cons:

Poor Handling

Lack of raw grip -eats front tyres too

Torque Steer

Unsettled ride

Lifeless steering, too vague

Poor build quality.

Short service intervals

It is not a bad car, I feel that the Ford Mondeo is more complete in most respects.

Issues so far:

Faulty stereo - replaced

Faulty speakers- replaced

Headrest clips disintegrated- replaced

Window winder broke - replaced.

All above sorted under warranty

However, the following were not:

Front bumper grill became loose- fell out (I bonded it back in)

Front bumper- becoming loose at corners " "

Rear bumper- Clips failed (I superglued them)

Front plastic arch liner failed (replaced at a cost of £170)

Central locking.

(Car has never been involved in a accident)

many thanks for the warm welcome again :thumbsup:
