    I had a 2010 Diesel Avensis which a friend of mine bought after i traded it in. has just over 230,000k on it now and never gave any problems bar the normal wear and tear.
    No serious issues and was serviced as recommended I have 5 Avensis in total and never a problem with any of them. can't vouch for the Mondeo as i never had one.

    Did the electronic handbrake give any trouble?

    Seats are better in the Mondeo, it's nicer to drive, has longer service intervals and more power.

    Reliability would be around the same between the 2, no major issues with either model of that age.

    Thanks for that. Is there not issues with injectors in the avensis. And flywheels for both? So some people say

    Breakdown statistics from the German equivalent of the AA. Click on "Mittelklasse" at the below link. Red shading is bad, green shading is good. As you can see. the 2010 Avensis has a higher rating than the 2010 Mondeo.

    I had a Passat that had the electronic handbrake and they gave trouble and cost a fortune to fix. Waste of money. Wud the Avensis be the same? That alone is swaying me towards the mondeo with normal handbrake!

    I'd get the mondeo far nicer than an avensis. 2.0 will have decent power too and be as reliable. Those avensis do nothing for me!
