Which Toyota Avensis estate to go for?

I'm looking at getting a Toyota Avensis estate between 2010 and 2012. I'm just wondering about the mileage on them. Would I be better to go for a 2010 model with lower miles or a 2012 version that may have higher mileage?

Is the Toyota RAV4 worth the price?

Hi,

I want to trade in my 2008 Ford Focus diesel for a new or nearly new car. I really like the SUV style. I drive at least 1,000km per week to and from work so I need something that's reliable, will hold its value and able for big mileage. I really like the Toyota RAV4, but is it worth the price?

What car would you suggest?
