Is there a more underrated car on the market than Toyota's Auris? Think about that one for a moment. The successor to the Corolla is a thoroughly engineered and brilliantly practical thing that's hugely popular across the globe but barely gets a look in here. Are we really that obsessed with sporty handling and image to overlook a car with so many admirable qualities? It seems we are, but when it comes to buying used, reliability is often the key motivator and there's very little that can touch an Auris in that regard. It's got a brilliant record on warranty claims and what's more, previous owners are usually diligent types. If you like the price tag of a used car but don't want the headaches, this could very well be the family hatchback you'll need to look to, especially in the first generation facelifted form we examine here, a car we first saw in 2010.

History
The sharpeyed amongst you might well have realised that the Auris actually first appeared in 2007 to a rather muted reception. It was initially available in three or fivedoor form with an engine range running from 1.4litre petrols and diesels to the 2.2litre diesel powering the T180 which was the Auris' offering in the hot hatchback sector. That all changed in 2010 when Toyota took a long hard look at what it was doing with the Auris and pared the range right back. It also enjoyed a facelift, with sharper styling and suspension retuned to better suit British roads. More significantly, a hybrid model was introduced using much the same technology as seen in the Prius. These updates didn't have a massive effect on sales but they turned a car that was, admittedly, a little dull into something that was a bit more noteworthy. The hybrid model in particular is a real grower. We've run one here and it was loved by every staff member who got their hands on it. Maybe not at first, but we were all sad to hand the keys back. There's a lot to be said for inexpensive, discreet and hasslefree utility.
The trim structure was also revised, with the Auris getting T2, TR and SR trims while the Auris hybrid got ritzier T4 and T Spirit specifications. Toyota later introduced the Edition and Colour Collection models to the Auris line up to sustain things as the life of this generation design wound to a close at the end of 2012.
