    I've got a Toyota avensis.not a very exciting car but well built and does everything you want or really need your car to do,also never given me any bother in the 4yrs I've had it.I traded in my Mitsubishi colt czt which was great fun and fast as * for it but don't regret it one bit.

    used to work for a car company and drove these often. to get the best experience it need to be a 2.0 diseal.

    believe it or not i drove a 1.6 petrol a good 120 mile and was the worst experience of my life. would of rarther of been kick in the balls. ZERO power to even overtake on the motorway at 60-70mph even when u dropped 2 gears.

    however the 2.0 diseals or even the 1.8 diseal (prefer the 2.0) is a great drive. the only thing is the letterbox view when reversing. apart from that i would say vauxhall have done a decentg job with these.:50:

    TBH in that job i got to drive alsorts of cars and i have to say mixed with the good lucks and the actual drive i really enjoyed driving this car. however they are BIG cars.haha.

    the drive is good in the 2 litre diseals mate and i dont think you will be disapointed. and they are quick for such a big car. i would say go for it, have a little drive first see if you like it.

    WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT GET A 1.6 PETROL OR EVEN A 1.8 PETROL:56:

    keep it to the diesel models (2.0 for best) and i dont think u will be disapointed mate. what do you usually use your car for?

    edit what are you goingto to using it for?haha

    Does anyone have or know someone who has a VW EOS, the hard top convertable. Fancied one in the near future but have read a lot of bad reports about leaks and water penetration.
