Avensis Verso - eve
I am considering purchasing an Avensis Verso. Do you have any advice as to which is the better option between the 2 engines; 2.0VVTi or 2.0 D-4D. I anticipate that the mileage will be below 10,000 yearly. What are the advantages of choosing a diesel engine when mileage will not be high? Thanks for any help.

Eve, cannot help you with the choice of engine, but if you are in the Derby Nottingham area, I can highly recommend Andrew Hoult (Sales Manager)at Ron Brooks Ltd, Ilkeston, Derby. tel 01623 302885. I worked there few years ago, and have never known a company to look after it's customers so well. Competitive pricing too. Tell him Mike sent you!

The petrol engine has a timing chain; the diesel has a timing belt. You'll find more details in a news item in the news archive on this site and in the car by car breakdown, qwhich gives fuel consumption and CO2 output figures.
