    The avensis engine will go forever, my mum has a 99 avensis and it still drives like new even on 180,000 miles, French cars in general are seen as unreliable, Toyota for me

    Toyota have it in the reliability stakes but the 307 is much more comfortable and a nicer ride.

    I have a 307 btw

    I think it is important to bear in mind that 'what' is generally used when you are asking for a opinion based on almost unlimited possibilities. However, if you a limiting the choices to a set number of options then 'which' is the way to go!

    Hope this helps with your decision!

    definitely go for the toyota, and as said above, a diesel will not only go on forever but be more economical and saleable. as for a 307 being more comfortable, i've been in both and that's clearly a lie

    Well I have a 2006 307 and have just come back from penzance (400 mile trip) in a Avensis and my car is far more comfortable. I guess its down to personal preference and size of the person.

    Plus neither of them are a diesel car so whatchu talkin bout willlis?

    I'm not sure if he is looking for suggestions or it is a choice between those two specific cars but my Ford Focus MK2 55 plate is incredibly comfortable. I have the 2 litre TDCI 6 speed. Only downside is the consumption is about 40MPG rather than the rated 60MPG!
