    Thanks. I confess that I do like the look of the Auris but the engine has the same power (albeit slightly tweaked perhaps) as my Yaris. If Toyota put a larger engine in it that produced maybe 130-150 horses then it would go straight to the top of my list. I wanted something with a few more nuts this time if possible.

    The Auris Hybrid has the same engine and hybrid system as the current Prius so I think it will be a bit quicker than you might think.

    I wasn't thinking about the Auris D4D to be honest, modern diesels are too much of a headache.

    Auris Hybrid has 136bhp.

    Thanks all for the latest info.

    Cheers
  • I bought from a dealership instead of a car supermarket and was disappointed.

    I would buy from a car supermarket, as you have redress with them in the event of a problem, plus the benefit of the manufacturer's warranty.

    Though you should check with the manufacturer in writing that the warranty is valid on the vehicle reg number that you are interested in as some car supermarkets sell imported or ex-rental cars, which can invalidate or limit warranties.
