Buying a uses estate - Skoda Octavia or Toyota Avensis?

I'm a private hire taxi driver and I need to buy a uses estate. Which would you recommend from the:

- 2012 Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI vRS estate
- 2012 Toyota Avensis 1.8i automatic estate

Asked on 28 August 2016 by adeel

Answered by Honest John

The Avensis, without any shadow of a doubt. The 1.8i Valvematic with Multidrive S CVT transmission is a very good, very smooth combination and the quality of the car is intrinsically better.
