2011 Toyota Auris

Offaly Exile

Does anyone here have experience of the 2011 Auris petrol 1.33 engine.

I'm not familiar with this engine. Hope to take one for a test drive soon. Don't do enough mileage for a diesel.

Any feedback would be appreciated

How do you rate them Colm, do you know much about the 1.6?

1.6 Valvematic is a lovely engine with plenty of oomph for an engine that size, under no circumstances should you buy one with that appalling CVT gearbox though! I'd only buy one if it's a manual, I can tell you having had the displeasure of driving one, the auto ruins the car.

1.6 Valvematics were only ever available with the automatic gearbox in Ireland, though, so any 1.6 manual is a UK import, it would be my choice if I was buying an Auris as it's still very efficient, has plenty of oomph and there is nothing whatsoever that could possibly go wrong with that engine.

The mk2 was a giant step up from the mk1 as far as the interior is concerned

Is that both the mk1 and mk2 ceeds your talking about Johnboy?

The mk1 both facelift and pre facelift, although tbh the facelift did improve the interior a bit.

Looking back through this thread. The mk1 and mk2 i30/ceed seem to be good value. Whats the 1.4 petrol like in them?

It's a reliable unit and offers good performance. The car itself is let down by interior and the way it drives though. I'd take an auris over one in a heartbeat.

I think some early 1.33 engines around 2009 had issues with carbon build up, but as far as I know it was resolved later. I think it was EGR related.

From reading around, the mk1 facelifted Auris altough not the worlds most exiciting car seems to have held up well. It's seems to get good reports on reliability with no surprises. Seems simple enough to maintain. The 1.33 dual vvti engine appears to also be robust and reliable. simple setup, with a good mix economy, low tax and resonable to tax.

Anything to look out on a second hand one?

Same engine as the 09 onwards Avensis. De chape tax shows that it won't be hard on juice either. 130 odd bhp.

Oh yeah, the ones I was looking at were in Charles Hursts. There's a few uk models on Irish plates for sale privately too.

Wouldn't the post 08 1.6l be based on co2?

Ya that's what I was saying. Anything after june 08 is co2

Well the tax on the 1.4 vvti is €570 on cars registered on the co2 tax system so the 1.6 would be the same or more.

The newer 1.33 dual vvti is a better engine than both and is €270-€280 to tax

Wouldn't the post 08 1.6l be based on co2?

I believe the 1.6 petrol is a nice engine too, reliable and economical?

They just ring alarms bells here with 1.6 engines historically being sore on juice and high on tax.

What is the tax of the 1.6l petrol here?

Afaik the 1.6 diesel gets it as well.

Slightly off topic but earlier today I was pricing importing a 13 Auris Hybrid from the UK for the old man. Slightly higher spec than the Luxury model sold here, had a panoramic roof, heated seats, reversing camera, etc and only 22k miles. Was coming in at around 14k cleared. Cheapest similar one I can find on carzone with twice that mileage was asking 17k but obviously comes with a 1 year warranty from Mr T.

Anyone any realistic idea what a 09 Auris 1.33 litre TR (UK spec a bit higher than the Luna here) with about 60k km, in very good condition would be fetching privately these days? 1 UK and 1 Irish owner.

The 1.2t has fully independent rear suspension and a better interior, not that it would matter to the majority of buyers in this country.

The current shape came out in late 2012. The same engines were carried over. They introduced a 1.2 litre petrol turbo with around 120bhp in 2015 along side the 1.33 litre engine but it costs about 2.5k more than the 1.33 litre so not too many takers of it here. 1.33 litre is less complex.

Also looking at a mk1 auris 1.33 dual vvti. From all accounts a very nice engine and a reliable car. I prefer the look of the pre facelift (09) model. Is there anything that would sway you towards the facelifted model?

The 1.33 engine if it's irish cars we are talking about.

colm_mcm

Or a hybrid.

bazz26

It's money you would never get back at resale time. Better spent on a higher trim level imo.

Came out in late 2012. Irish spec new shape auris are very dear. There's good value in them in the uk n comparison. I priced a few petrol 1.6s last week in NI and you'd get a 2013 for under €12k incl vrt.
