Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

we chose the auris as we knew the build quality and reliabilty would be very good and to no surprise its been faultless in standard toyota form. we picked a spotier model in 3 doors with a more unique paint job so we could own somthing different. its been cheap to run and ownand run. the boot is plenty big enough for our family of 4 to go away to visit family for a week i have also taken a full car of adults long distance and no one has had any issue with space, discomfort, cramps etc, the back seat is really roomy theres loads of leg room. visibility is brilliant and the scrolling trip computer in the dash is very good as well being able to give the info your after at the press of a button. even as a sporty model with very firm suspension its still very very comfortable. we got one with a few optional extras but even the standard sr isnt exactly a lacking car. when cruising along the motorway its effortless in its action, but when i get to somewhere with good twisty roads for a bit more of driving pleasure the auris doent let me down there suddenly you get the stiff suspension the wider wheels the heavier steering all comiing together to make it feel fantatstic and alive yet still composed and refined. i think if the time ever comes to replace it after having it for 6 years ill find it hard to get something as good as my auris has been. its not the fastest or best equipeed car in the world but its certainly punchy and certainly not scarce of luxaries. i think theres little things as well everything is in a good place the cupholders are brilliant the vents and controls are ell placed its like someone who drives a car for a living sat in the drivers seat and said where things should best be.

How reliable do you find the car?

bought as a relibale sporty car ... never missed a beat in 86,000 miles of ownership

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

its quick, its confortable, its fantastically roomy, cruises on the motorway with minimal effort, pretty well equiped. can be fun when I want it to be. and has been a brilliant long distance comuter.
