The new 5-door version looks like a Chinese die-cast model of a Skoda Fabia done from memory. And your first impressions confirm your prejudices. Light controls. Over-light steering. Short gearing. Dashboard flat as a coal face. Nothing to get even mildly excited about. Then you take it out for a second time and find Dr Jekyll blurring into Mr Hyde. First you notice it's got a fair bit of go. The engine is sporty and fun to drive rather than dull and anodyne like some other 1.6 litre hatchbacks. Once you dial in some speed the wheel weights up in your hands, you begin to feel the road through it and, much to your surprise, you find that the car handles well. It grips hard at the front and steers accurately with no slop or excess body movement. The door mirrors give an excellent field of view. The gearchange is top notch. Though you never expected to, you discover you’re enjoying yourself. You take a second look at the dashboard and start to think it's really neat and high-tech. You begin to appreciate all the useful places to store things. The small, leather-clad steering wheel nice to hold. The seats are superb: the right shape, with the right support and upholstered in classy velour. You notice they've even covered the inner A pillars with velour, like the VW Golf Mk IV. You feel there’s a bit of quality about the car. What’s wrong with it? Not much. It's difficult to see out of the back when reversing, my car had a bit of a whistle from the driver’s side door seal, there’s a fair bit of tyre noise, ride quality isn’t up to the best in class and the low gearing means the car drones at 80 and only does 34 miles per gallon. Really, the 1.6 could do with the extra cog from the VVTL-i Sport. But these are quibbles, not irritations. Nothing actually annoyed me. It felt almost as if the car was designed to pacify by getting on with the job in as pleasant and as fuss-free manner as possible. I can see a lot of older people trading down from Volvo S40s and V40s into Corollas. But equally I can imagine lots of younger people trading up out of Astras and Focuses. The key to that, of course, is the 190bhp, 140mph six-speed T Sport. And the range: Manuals or automatics. Four petrol engines and two diesels. Three door, five door, estate or Verso bodies. Corollas aren’t stuck in a rut of being any one group’s kind of car. Check the prices and you will see that no Corolla actually comes cheap. The Honda Civic starts at nearly £1,000 less and with similar range of engines and bodies is probably enemy number one. But even T2 UK market Corollas are very high spec, lacking only a/c and alloys. The whole point used to be that Corolla ownership was painless and that's why it's been the best selling car in the World for years. Now that Toyota has made it good to drive as well, you can’t really go wrong.

So along came Auris, meaning gold in Latin, which Toyota hopes will live up to its name.So will Auris carry on in the Corolla tradition?Reflecting modern tastes it has a 'short and tall' appearance and makes maximum use of space. In many ways it is the quality of the Corolla remastered for a new age. The difference is that the competition has suddenly become much hotter and the easy lead the Corolla had worldwide, built on reliability and sound sense, will need to be greatly reinforced by Auris.Toyota has always had the reputation of building quality, no-nonsense cars that last and give superb service.But one thing Toyotas of the past did lack in some respects was character, a matter which has been addressed and to a great degree remedied by Auris.You only have to look at the cabin's centre console,which is in the form of a 'flying bridge' supporting the gearstick to realise that the Auris has attitude.It comes in three and five-door forms, the three-door built in Turkey and the five-door at Toyota UK's Burnaston plan in Derbyshire.There are five engine options, two petrol units in 1.4-litre 97bhp VVT-I and 1.6-litre 124bhp Dual VVVT-I form, while there are three common rail diesel options - 1.4-litre 90bhp D-4D, two-litre 130bhp D-4D and the flagship 2.2-litre 180bhp D-4D.The Auris is slightly larger than the last generation Corolla and is very well specified.The 2.0 T-Spirit D-4D version I drove includes cruise control, rain-sensing windscreen wipers, dusk-sensing headlights, heated door mirrors, dual zone auto air con and six-speaker sound system with steering wheel-mounted controls, plus a Smart Entry and Start System which enables automatic unlocking of the driver's door before engine start-up via the start/stop button on the dash.It is the interior of this car which captured my imagination. There are 10 storage spaces, including a neat oddments tray beneath the 'flying bridge' console.The gearstick is placed on the console at optimum height and is delightful to use. It certainly makes you wonder how it works because it does not seem to be attached to anything underneath.Here we have a fine combination of relatively silent diesel driving and excellent road manners. The Auris is a much more refined and attractive car than the Corolla and the world is just finding out about it.FAST FACTSToyota Auris T Spirit D-4D 130 5drPrice: £16,595Mechanical: 124bhp, 1,998cc, 4cyl diesel engine driving front wheels via 6spd manual gearboxMax speed: 121mph0-62mph: 10.3 secsCombined mpg: 52.3Insurance group: 7CO2 emissions: 144g/kmBiK rating: 18%Warranty: 3yrs/ 60,000 miles, 3yrs paint, 12yrs anti-rust Words: Ian Johnson Keywords: toyota , auris Rate this article: Login to rate this article...
