Toyota Auris Touring Sports (2013 - 2019) 1.8 VVTi Hybrid Icon 5d CVT Auto Owner Review

How reliable do you find the car?

Only couple of minor issues such as the rear break calipers binding a little, nut other than that the reliability we have come to expect from a big brand Japanese car maker.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

The reality was I didn't expect the mileage claims from the hybrid but it did reach what I thought reasonable for an 1800cc petrol. The mileage varies with the season's, colder weather with more electrical systems running brings down the average and my commute was around 12 miles of country and main roads, very little town work. You cannot pull away from traffic lights, and keep up with traffic, in EV mode, the petrol engine is forced to kick in but moving along in heavy traffic it remains in EV mode until the battery is depleted. On the down side I found the boot a bit small for large dogs but for most people it would be adequate. It must be doibg something right as there are quite a few used as taxis.
