Seats are strangely soft and made from rough material. Design is also not to well... It's enough for me to not buy Auris or new Corolla and frankly speaking I'm little upset because I've always liked Toyota, now I'm driving with Corolla E11 which is really good one, build quality is great, dashboard and seats look like almost new in seven years old car. I don't understand why Toyota abandon name "Corolla" (only sedan nowadays) which was always symbol of quality and reliability. I think they shoot their own knee. In Poland there are also more Civics than Auris on the streets, I think...

I see the same owner problems being repeated over and over - tonight one unfortunate guy needing a front re-spray after 5 months which is appalling unless he lives in Basra. Are you sure you have the current Civic model and not the previous trouble free machine?
Have a heart to heart with the dog - you need to know the truth!

Oh dear - the handbags are out.
