Toyota Auris OR VW Golf

We are planning to exchange our car for a 2007/2008 model 1.6 Toyota Auris or 1.6 VW Golf. Just a bit confused as to which car to buy.
Please give me your valuable suggestions. Is Auris a good buy???

  • I did like the Auris but then went off it somewhat as a bit lack lustre. I haven't considered a Golf for over a decade as I thought them overpriced, new and second hand.

    An abstract but good summary. I have 2 Auris, and I'd sum them up as ok, the interior rattles a lot and the quality/reliabilty isn't up with Toyota's other products. The golf is usually massively overpriced. I'd buy a Skoda Octavia or a civic.

    Common misconception regards the pricing of Golfs. Just do a like for like with the Astra/Focus/Megane regards equipment levels etc. You might be suprised.

    For me I'd go with the Golf.... but I'm biased.
