What was the question? :P

almost 13 K for a five year old car - mad methinks. When I got my avensis it was 8 years old and I gave 2900 and a dead almera for it.

Heres a similar car for four and a bit thousand less

Good car,but could do with a 6th gear(2700rpm@100kph)..overall a god family car

(not the same spec as the one you posted but there can t be that much of a difference in price)

Crazy money, another €1k and you can buy this which is bigger, better equipped, a year younger and has lower mileage:

+1 for that avensis - miles better than the corolla by my reckoning

The Avensis would be almost the same to tax as the Corolla as well, but is a much better car. That vintage of Corolla is not a good car at all - the only reason it's so popular is because of the name.

Old diesel

This model Corolla is a real nothing car imo.

Hard to make any sort of argument for it - looks bland, very poor legroom for what is quite a big car.

Does the car have to be a Toyota - I see a few of these Corollas around locally and Aurises too - and always assume they are bought by people who have to have a Toyota Corolla because they've always had them - rather then because they are particularly good cars.


(Ops link didn't work for me - but im assuming that with mention of the car being 5 years old - I assume its the model that was out at the same time as the Mk 1 Auris)

I've done a reg check on that avensis and its nctd till feb 2015
(Its also 3 owners to be fair)


If you're just looking for someone to tell you the corolla is great, maybe a toyota corolla owners club or a toyota dealer trying to sell you one might be a good place to ask
Personally I had 5 or 6 of them as company cars and sold them for years, and genuinely they're a lesser car than the model they replaced. They're not really designed for Europe, they're more an Asian market car adapted for Europe.
