I have recently given up my company Toyota Avensis 2.0 GLS at 90,000 on the clock, over 30,000 of which were driven by me. I was not able to choose the car that I drove, so hopefully my view will be an objective one.

When travelling to the UK, I usually hire Hertz cars through British Airways. Last month I was lucky enough to get a 6-month-old Toyota Avensis 1.8 hatchback for 3 weeks, and I was SERIOUSLY impressed! The 5-speed gearbox is very flexible (I managed over 110 mph on a suitably deserted stretch of motorway early one morning, and I could overtake slow stuff at 80mph in third without even breathing hard), and the engine responds instantly to the accelerator, which I really appreciate as a retired Police driver. There's plenty of room for 5 adults to travel for an hour or two at a time without undue squashing, the seats are comfortable, and the ...
