Should I go for the 1.6-litre Avensis?
I am thinking of updating from a 2 liter diesal Toyota Avensis to the 1.6 diesal Avensis about 12hp in the difference what do you think
Our answer:
Hi Martin,
Personally, I would stick with the 2.0-litre as it's a much better engine. There's not a big gap in tax but the performance from the 2.0 is much better than that of the rather under-whelming 1.6.
