2015 (151) Toyota Auris

The original Auris was worthy, if a little bit dull. This generation was jazzed up a bit, making it an all-round more lovable car. The boot is a good size and comes with a false floor compartment for keeping your valuables safe. There is plenty of room on board too with a nice bit of head and leg room for occupants. There is a good driving position thanks to the multiple levels of adjustment in the steering wheel and drivers seat. Standard equipment is generous and includes climate control, LED daytime running lights and no less than seven airbags. You have a good choice of engine that includes two petrol variants, a diesel and a hybrid. It is more enjoyable to drive than the previous model thanks to firmer suspension but it remains a worthy, reliable option in this segment of the market.
