Toyota Auris Touring Sport

They had a fairly long model run for 2013 to 2019

Front left looks flat.

I suppose owner came to their senses and abandoned it?

Might be worth checking he/she's not inside still at the wheel having died of boredom...

I guess the original owner was at least brave enough to choose a colour other than grey scale. Living on the edge for an Auris owner

Lots of laugh in this thread.

However... I don't think this is a particularly dismal car. It's a car that the majority of PHers would not even remember exists come new car buying time, granted, but for reliable transport with a decent boot for someone who only wants 'A to B' motoring (notice how that phrase is always used to describe snoreworthy motors?) and a giant warranty, I can't think of anything better than an Auris estate. Except maybe a Corolla estate, because they're slightly less st looking.

Wow, there's a sentence I didn't see myself ever saying. laugh

Not so sure. I've luckily managed to avoid an Auris, but the Toyota Aventis was the single most dreadful, dull, beige car I have ever driven. I was given it as a loan car from an Alfa dealer years ago, the dealership was 30 miles away but the Aventis was so bad, I drove it back after 2 days and said i'd rather get the bus. They had a knackered old Fiat Punto they said was the only car they had. I took that instead, it felt like a Rolls Royce in comparison.

I had an Auris, same colour as this.

Actually quite a decent car, only got rid due to the violent catalytic converter thefts locally.

Underneath the hybrid is just a Prius, so capable of 150k miles easily.

But if someone steals the cat, it's getting on for £2k to fit a new one.

Catlock shields, tilt alarms and etching are all pretty useless to deter thieves unfortunately.

This guy lowered the car by letting the air out of a tyre to make it harder to get a jack under.
