Toyota Auris, owner reviews
Listing the advantages of this machine can take a lot of time. Excellent dynamics - a car turns into a point on a flat road in a matter of seconds, and at a traffic light in speed it is quite capable of competing with both Audi and BMW. What is important for the Russian climate, it starts up in a frost of -35 from a half-turn. On the road, this car drives like a glove, does not swing, does not deviate by inertia in turns. Many note a good built-in radio in a Toyota Auris car . Owner reviews also indicate excellent handling of this car.
In Russia, the car comes with different engine sizes. Owners of cars of modification 1.33L note that the engine is rather weak, but at the same time super-economical consumption makes it an ideal option for the city. The car is also perfect as a family car - a roomy trunk allows you to transport medium- sized household appliances , bicycles and other things. True, with the seats folded, the volume will be small, significantly less than that of crossovers and SUVs.
Many people are attracted by the appearance of the Toyota Auris. Owner reviews indicate that in the first place they pay attention to a stylish design and smooth streamlined shapes. Nothing more, everything is very harmonious. Separately, we can note changes in the design of the second generation of cars. “Fused” headlights are immediately evident that give the car a slightly aggressive appearance.
However, this model also has a number of disadvantages. First of all, they relate to the Toyota Auris robotic gearbox . The reviews confirm that one way or another every second owner is faced with the problems associated with KP. The robotic box in this machine is a kind of intermediate option between the mechanics and the machine. The machine jerks with each switching, it switches far from always on time, it is often late, noisy. When moving in a dense stream through traffic jams or in the heat, it begins to “glitch”, spontaneously switching to neutral.
The minuses can also be attributed to the quality of enamel, which is covered with Toyota Auris. Responses of owners say that chips on it can form even under the pressure of water during washing. Some note that car breakdowns occur with an enviable (albeit not scary) frequency every six months to a year. However, some owners of new cars did not have to face the need for repairs for 3-4 years of use. Some note the comfortable and spacious interior of the Toyota Auris. The reviews also say that the control panel of the machine is very convenient, beautiful and functional.
