3 out of 5 stars

For The Toyota Auris is practical, comfortable and well built

Against The Toyota is let down by its uninspiring dynamics and design

Verdict Capable, but disappointing follow-up to the excellent Corolla

Go for… 1.6 T2 5dr

Avoid… 2.2 D-4D SR180 3dr

1. It drives decently enough, with good grip in corners and limited body roll, but the steering is vague and the ride fails to smooth out the poorest road surfaces.
2. The Auris is spacious inside for a small family car and there’s decent legroom for passengers in the rear middle seat.
3. Go for the five-door version rather than the three-door car. They’re easier to find, more practical and not much more expensive.
4. The 1.4-litre diesel is the champion of cheap motoring, with an average of 56.5mpg and emissions of 132g/km.
5. The Auris isn’t upholding Toyota’s reputation for reliability, with many owners describing their cars as merely average.
