        That's why I swapped from a coupe to an estate last August!

                Looks good Steve, Toyota have a great history of reliability.

                I am looking at a new car maybe this year and an estate is on the list and whilst I am living with it, the Lexus isnt practical for models. I have my eye on a Subaru Legacy, but I might take a peek at the Avensis.

                        LOL - Lexus had the same issue on the IS200 which was due to the drivers mat slipping into the accelerator, dealer fix was to add a hook to the mat to hold it in position.

                            30 mins at up to 135mph is amazing considering most of the time some idiot sits at 70 and wont move... still think I might just turn the engine off and allow it to brake me... but its easy to say this when you are not holding on for all your worth!

                            Still the story doesnt ring true - brakes should be able to slow and stop a car especially one with only 125BHP. Certainly I have no doubt about my brakes being more than capable of this.

                              Steve, I'll be interested to hear what you think. I went to have a look at an Insignia at the weekend which was nice but that avensis looks tidy.
