The automotive business in South Africa is bright and flourishing. Consumers have a choice of over fifty vehicle models from various manufacturers, and sales show that it is a healthy economy. IOL Motoring’s new-car sales data that identify which models are popular among consumers show that if you’re looking for a second hand Toyota Corolla in South Africa, you should go for an Auris. As of February 2013, the Corolla/Auris has sold 2,643 units in South Africa, or 2.4% of the country’s vehicle sales, taking the seventh spot.
You are probably on a search for the best Corolla variant because you know that buying a pre-owned vehicle gives you the opportunity to have one of the most popular cars without having to spend so much. Well, good for you! According to the sales data, the Auris is your best bet. So what is the Auris and why is it a good choice for a used-car purchase? Read on to find out.
Trendy shape The Auris is a compact hatchback that was initially intended for the European and Japanese markets. It succeeds the RunX in South Africa and the Corolla hatchback in Europe. There is something about a hatchback’s sloped back and rear door that make it appealing to consumers—perhaps it’s the sporty shape, the cute rear view, the nimble-looking design, or all of the above. Whatever the reason is, it’s clear that the hatchback is one of the most desired vehicle body types.
Fuel-efficient engine Another reason to choose the Auris as a second hand Toyota Corolla in South Africa is its 1.8 2ZR-FAE valvematic engine that gives an improved fuel efficiency and environmental performance. There is also a 1.5-liter engine option, and both come available with continuously variable transmission or CVT.
Unique center console What makes the Auris unique from other Corolla models is its free-standing center console. The console design raises the gearlever to the ideal height that makes it easier for the driver to reach the lever to shift gears. Underneath the console is a small tray for little things like loose change and hard candy. The handbrake is also placed on this elevated console, giving the driver the easiest driving experience. The console looks like a flying buttress extending from the dash to between the front seats.
Good handling, comfortable ride Being a second hand Toyota Corolla in South Africa doesn’t mean the Auris can’t meet South African roads! The ease in driving is extended to how the vehicle handles. Steering is responsive, sturdy, and the hatch body takes in bumps pretty well. Maneuverability is better than expected, and the ride is smooth. Brakes catch immediately with well-modulated pedaling. The smooth mechanics also make it a relaxing ride for passengers, providing comfort even on bumpy roads.
The Auris is mainly marketed to the young, trendy, and hip generation. It’s a good first car for new drivers, swinging singles, and university-going young adults, but actually, anyone will surely enjoy driving it. As a second hand Toyota Corolla in South Africa, it promises good value for money.
