Pieter and his son Max are all going to look at a Toyota Avensis. That qualifies as 1.8 or 2.0 VVTi to the requirements, but it is a bit of a boring car. Both engines to outrun each other in terms of the performance window, and it is therefore not surprising that the range 1.8’messages, and many more. To a manual Avensis you will need to search, the majority are slot machines. There you can also just a little heavier carts behind the trailer prick. But well, the Avensis is well known to our Advisory clients (we still have some aankoopadviezen), so it’s time for our five options:
Merktrouw: Renault Laguna Estate GT
Maligned. If one word applies to the last generation Laguna, than it is that. Its predecessor was a wonderful car, but had to contend with a lot of technical malheur, and performed often the list of most unreliable car. That his successor understand the bottom of that list was to be found, the selling has not helped. For the facelift had the Laguna GT 205 hp at his disposal, as well as four-wheel steering. About gadgets spoken. The Laguna after the facelift, with ‘only’ 170 hp and is equipped as standard with automatic transmission. We are spotting a four-year-old Estate GT 170 with 25,000 km on the counter for 20 mille, but for less you can buy also a very handsome Laguna.

The boxergeluid is nice, but in comparison with the rest of the mentioned options, it is no strepentrekker. Most of the Foresters, come with towbar, climate control and cruise control, we are also seeing a lot of, but for navigation you need to go back to the old TomTom.
The herbs such as: Volvo V70
With the Volvo V70, we limit ourselves to one engine as the V70 with a variety of fine benzineblokken is delivered: the T4 with a 1.6 turbo and 180 hp, the 2.0 T and T5 with a tweeliter turbo with, respectively, 203 and 240 hp, and the atmospheric 3.2 six-in-line with 238 hp.

Most V70’s are well equipped, leather, and navigation there are more often than not.
