New Auris, new member, first Toyota.

[Joely P]

Hi all,

 

I was on the lookout for a well specced facelift E150 Auris (2010/12 T-Spirit) but I eventually gave up as they all seemed to be hybrid models. I did test drive the hybrid but wasn't keen on the gearbox so decided to stick with a manual. In a bit of a random turn having not found the right one, I moved the goalposts and went for a later model (E180).

 

It's an early 2013 Excel model and seems to have pretty much everything I wanted and more. A nice car, easy to drive, my only criticism is that is very underpowered for a 1.6 but hey, it's not a race car! It's pretty clean (especially after a session of paint correction!), a few niggles to sort out but at 39k miles with 5 Toyota dealer service stamps it seems to be well looked after so will hopefully be a good car.

 

It's my first Toyota and so far, so good:
