Summary
What does this car say about you?
I am a modern young person, considering my safety, my pocket, my image because it's a very good looking car. Also I consider the protection of the environment.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think it's great. I feel very often the others drivers' jealous looks.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, definitely. It's a very balanced and reliable small family car. Sometimes I even forget that it's me who's driving the car - I'm just feeling that I'm traveling like a passenger in the Auris.
What are you likely to buy next?
A japanese car definitely.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It handles very easily. The ride is very comfortable and the gearshift do its job precisely. It´s perfect in the city - it gives you a balanced and pleasant acceleration, and often you will leave the rest of the cars far away. On the motorway when you go uphill you can feel a small weakness of the engine's power. The only worse impression I got from my first 100 miles drive is that it's not extremely well sound insulated. For instance, my old Skoda Fabia was better insulated. But you'll soon forget this considering all the rest of the Toyota's qualities.
What's it like to park?
It's very easy to park. It's extremely practical for a daily use. When you have to go shopping or when you have to squeeze in the narrow lanes of the city, you´ll appreciate the choice you´ve made.

The dashboard looks terrific.
