Thinking of upgrading looking at a 08-12 model.

What you guys got and anything needed to be aware of or avoided?

Was thinking a Toyota Avensis...

Currently have an 08 mondeo wagon pretty sure it’s a similar engine to the Mazda wagon. I like it but everything is arse about face with indicators on the opposite side and things like that.

Yeah I wouldnt go European that's for sure, the Toyota or Mazda will last much longer and be cheaper to repair, brother in law worked for Mazda/Ford as a mechanic and really rated the Mazdas
