Other Toyota Auris (2012 - 2019) models:

  • Summary

    2 out of 5 2.0

    What does this car say about you?

    I don't really worry about what a car says about me.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Like the styling and the roominess, that's all.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Probably not as the overall mpg I get is very disappointing. I have only averaged around 47 mpg over a years driving (5,500 miles) when 72 was promised. Some of my friends who drive diesel cars get better mpg than this.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    I always had Mercedes before buying this Toyota so might go back to a diesel estate C Class in the future.

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    Toyota gave £1000 towards the cost of the car and I also got 0% interest for 3 years.

    Was going to less miles a year and mainly urban so wanted a hybrid. Also wanted an estate car to carry prams etc for my new grand daughter.

    Acceptable.

  • Driving it

    2 out of 5 2.0

    What's it like to drive?

    A bit rough on hard acceleration due to the CVT transmission.

    What's it like to park?

    Good, has sensors back and front and camera at the back. Tried the automatic parallel parking once, it worked, but wouldn't do it again really.

  • Living with it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Would not start one morning, an error which Toyota later recalled the cars for.

    The space in the back as it's an estate car.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    None really.
