Toyota Avensis 1.8 Valvematic Tourer (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Steve Moody, 15 December 2008 17:00

Do you have a handy mat for kneeling on in the garden? How about an all-in-one slipper for both your feet? Cantilevered ‘easy’ tongs for picking up leaves without bending down? Is the biggest thrill in your day the frisson of fear delivered by virtue of the Daily Mail’s latest doom-mongering? No? Well then the chances are that you do ...

Toyota Avensis 2.2 D-4D 150 (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Colin Overland, 04 December 2008 09:39

For a new car, the British-built new Toyota Avensis looks and feels remarkably similar to the old one. The Avensis faithful will see this as a good thing. In much the same way that you’d worry if a BBC newsreader arrived on your screen one day with a pink mohican and LOVE and HATE tattooed on his knuckles, you don’t ...

Toyota iQ 1.0 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Phil McNamara, 02 September 2008 11:18

The new Toyota iQ is a landmark car: the world's soon-to-be-biggest car maker has gone and made the world's smallest four-seater. You see, the iQ packs two rows of pews into a tiny slip of a hatchback. It's not even three metres long. But the Toyota iQ has a twist; like Smart's Fortwo, the last car to rip up the ...

Toyota Land Cruiser V8 TD CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Richard Aucock, 17 January 2008 17:26

Toyota's Land Cruiser. Since 1954 and with five million made, it’s gone on to be the world’s best-selling SUV. The Range Rover’s an upstart compared to this, and Toyota’s world domination started with exports of the Land Cruiser. As such, the company treats it reverentially. That’s why it allowed a team of 1500 engineers the luxury of five years to ...

Toyota i-Real concept CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 31 October 2007 12:32

Toyota i-Real: the weirdest road test ever? Well, let's clear up any confusion straight away. This isn't a conventional CAR road test. We didn't pile on hundreds of miles in the i-Real. We didn't pitch it into a group test against Stephen Hawking's chair. And we didn't strap our timing gear on to extract performance figures. But we were among ...

Toyota Hilux D-4D 170 CAR review

Rated 2 out of 5

Anonymous, 05 April 2007 09:42

I thought this was CAR? Looks more like a truck to me. A truck it is and it’s here on CARonline because the British tax loophole is closing up. For the past five years or so sales in commercial vehicles have boomed in the UK as company car drivers took advantage of the special dispensation given to pick-ups and vans. ...

Toyota Auris 1.6 CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 16 January 2007 01:02

The Toyota What? I thought you said this was the new Corolla It is! Toyota openly acknowledges the Corolla has become a bit, well, dull and is plotting a stepchange with this important new small family car. So the C-word is dumped for the new Auris badge. It's hoping to repeat what Ford did when it replaced the unloved Escort ...
