    I had one of these cars and its rubbish, really unsafe, low ncap rating and unsafe to drive due to bad design.

    Don't buy one

    Usual toyota rubbish, check out the prius unreliability lately.

    Eh, thanks for that!

    On the plus side they're very cheap and very reliable!
    They were designed prior to 1993 so of course the Ncap isn't going to be great!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,537 ✭✭✭✭Cookie_Monster


    LOL

    what part of the design makes it unsafe to drive exactly?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,025 ✭✭✭✭-Corkie-

    "Low NCAP rating"? What NCAP rating? :)
    The Euro NCAP only started in 1997, and the Avensis was already out by then. 3/10, see me after class

    OK, Mcwhirter has been online and posting for the last 14 minutes, but he's not bothered to respond to this simple question.

    Therefore I'm closing this thread and issuing a reminder to everyone that trolling is against the Charter and will cause the troll to be banned from the forum.
