Hello,
Am looking to chuck in my ageing Vectra and get a new Avensis.

Trouble is, I've only seen 2 Avensis' in my town, so haven't been able to get hold of another driver yet. I'm also suspicious - why are there only 2? Its a nice car...

Anybody here have any experience with them? I went to a Toyota dealer to have a look, they look bigger inside than a Vectra, but the boot seems tiny in comparison. What are they like for 12 hour shifts, comfortable enough?

The only drawback I can see is that Cab Direct only seem to offer the base model, and the spec on that looks dire (unless its the glossy brochure nudging me to the T4 model)

Things I'm looking for are:
• Comfort - needs decent legroom (I carry a lot of disabled people and pensioners)
• Entertainment - does it have DAB (lifesaver). Are the toys on it any good?
• Reliability - Am a bit concerned about the latest Toyota recalls
• Boot space - Am I better off paying the extra for the estate?

The brochures and stuff show its very quiet inside, and is very economical, so no concerns there. Just want to know what they are like as a taxi rather than a country club ornament.
