I believe the Toyota Avensis has been discontinued.

Very true Baddass,
In real world terms, a larger motor can use less fuel then a smaller one, as it doesn’t need to be revved to get going.
Atleast the Grandis is lighter then most in its class.
Did you notice that it has a 1800kg towing capacity? That’d be fun to watch!

I don’t understand why car makers are sticking with 2.0-2.5 litre 4-cylinders! They are useless when it comes to piling the whole family in and driving long distances. The Tarago V6 is a market leader as far as I’m concerned: a large V6 is the answer for those customers who prefer petrol over diesel (which is better again). More often than not, the driver would be more annoyed with having to rev the guts off the engine to get it moving, than to sacrifice a little at the bowser.

No the V70 doesnt sell with the great 3rd row anymore. We had the last gen V70 with 3rd row seats when we lived in Holland and they were great, it was a bad move for Volvo to not put them in the current generation. Now we have a storage compartment insted. Plus it is double the price easily of the Peugoet. But i agree the C4 Picasso would probably suite them perfectly or the Renault Scenic.

Would guess only 3 stars for a Grandis crash test, since it is based on the superceeded lancer. I am surprised Car Advice rates looks so high in their overall score, maybe this is what most people really pay attention to.

The least ‘out there’ choice for them would be Toyota Avensis. It is not special in any way.

Hey, who is this imposter!

Did you go the diesel? I had a look at these but we are now liking the look of the Santa Fe.

The Grandis didn’t make the short list.

Yes they sell it but it has bad reviews and is underpowered with weak rear air con and agricultural rear suspension.

I like this car, but it is starting to show it’s age. Grandis has been out since 2004. I don’t think they will be refreshing this model, which is a shame because it is one of the nice vehicle in the people mover segment. I have even gone to the extent of looking at Japan’s Mitsubishi website and cannot see any Grandis on their lineup.

A workmate of mine has told me today that he only gets approx 420km on the one tank, which suggests that this model is quite heavy and is in need of a new engine. I agree with Al Juraj maybe the new 4B12 or even better a V6 engine.
