Mine's a late 2018 Tourer Hybrid. Not a jot of trouble in over two years and now 29k on it. What I love is the space available for load carrying without it being a massive block of a vehicle; it's slim and manouevrable with plenty of bells and whistles, and it goes electric whenever it can. Not an involving car to arouse the passions but it will keep you safe, it's not tiring on a longer run and at around 55mpg all the time I have no complaints. All round, these are wonderful cars and it's great they have been built in UK.

I recently bought a 2014 TS hybrid, with just 70000 km (43000 miles) in absolutely perfect condition for a really good price. Fully loaded, with beige lether, panoramic sunroof, cruise control, heated seats, parking sensors, JBL sound system etc... I absolutely love it. Although not as powerful and punchy as my previous MK6 Golf GTI, it is extremely comfortable, reliable, relaxing and spacious. Also to me the pre-facelift looks better than the facelift. These hybrids are perfect to buy used. They are not the type of cars that get abused, mostly owners are elderly and take take or them a lot, taxis excluded ;)

Hi from Germany, I have a 2015 2,0 UK build Diesel Auris and I haven't had any trouble. I had my TÜV I think it's called Mot in the UK this month and it passed without problems - the guy that checked it said he sees many cars but Toyota is definitely the most reliable in his opinion. So far I can confirm that.

I have to buy a new car because my old Mazda needs over £1k spending on it which doesn't make sense. The Auris estate is on my radar. I use my car mainly for business use and 95% of the journeys are around town. That means performance, handling, sportiness and sexy looks are meaningless. Reliabilty, affordablity, comfort and practicality are my requirements. I'm a huge fan of Toyotas.

200,000 miles and all you needed was the usual consumables! Just have to love Toyota for that. Was recently watching a video of a guy exploring Afghanistan, and literally every single car on the road there is a Toyota. When you don't have much money and you need your car to work, there just isn't a better brand out there. Massive respect to those Japanese engineers. Thanks for subscribing, glad you enjoyed that 😄

I got my auris hybrid touring sports second hand from my local Toyota dealer, it’s a 2015 and it had 28,800 miles on it, it’s up to 142,000 miles now, the biggest problem I had was the hybrid battery pack failed at 123, 000 miles and it’s out of warranty, it cost me £1,876 to get a new Toyota genuine pack installed, it was done bye a taxi firm that have a fleet of them, would have been a lot more it a Toyota dealer done it, but all in all it’s a brilliant car and now with the new battery pack it should last me out .

That's interesting. I mean it's not exactly a low cost item, but if the car has been otherwise reliable all those miles, I'd say it's worth it to replace. As you say it should now last a long time 👍

Depending on what that price is, and if the mileage/condition is similar... I'm going to say no - the Mk2 is a better car, but not twice as good! And the Mk1 in my opinion does have a little more character/is more interesting. The Mk2 definitely handles better though.
