Toyota Picnic
by Roderick O'Connor
Well in fact I just hope the Avensis Verso is better than the Picnic. Up until last week I would have told you the Picnic is much better, (having driven both) given that it is unpretentious, reliable and has lots of flexibility. Now, having handed the car over for the 63,000-mile service, I was told it had a loose engine mounting, which became magically a cracked engine mounting, for whose replacement I have now paid. What's that about? Is the mounting designed to fail at 63,000 miles? What could I have done to it to have led to such a failure?
