Find Me An Auris Hybrid!

[Wayne2015]

Actually, meant to ask you:

 

1. How u dis/liking the Hybrid so far?

2. How it's faring compared to previous cars driving experience?

3. Hows the CrossClimate faring?

 

 

Mines been absolutely fault-free apart from the rear boot leaking 

Although it's still only 4.5 years old...

[Anthony Poli]

Mine is 6 years old, just reached 40,000 and it still feels like a new car.

I am definitely liking the hybrid, enjoying the silent driving when on electric. Considering the engine is as big as the old car, it uses just over half as much fuel and drive it at the same speed as i did before.

The tyres are fine, just not had the weather to try them out in anger.

 

[Wayne2015]

U right, Frosty!

 

Yes I meant the privacy glass (film) :)

[Anthony Poli]

I am sure in yours the Battery doesn't protrude into the boot as much in mine, so you might not have the fancy tray and cover. but the boot has more capacity.

I did an image search, and compared the 2 types.

[Wayne2015]

Wait - u got the 2013 Auris Hybrid?

[Anthony Poli]

Show me what yours is like.

From Anthony's profile, his cars are a 2010 Auris hybrid and a 2013 Yaris hybrid - unless it needs updating?

I think he was referring to my google image search results.

Lol

 

I just confused now

If Ant got the same car as me (is your S a pre-facelift?)

 

Then both boot / Battery the same?

Oi

I only allow lasses to ask me that! 

 

 

 

I will get some pics later...

What about yours? 

 

 

 

[Anthony Poli]

Mine was definitely one of the originals, early July 2010 is when the first owner bought the car. Was surprised that he had left the letter in with the manuals. ;-)

Here you go!

 

 

 

STILL waiting for yours! 

 

PS: Off to see Netherland Circus with kids tonight 

[Anthony Poli]

It's the same underneath as mine.

So You could do with the tray and cover like mine.

 

[Wayne2015]

But my got a single compartment tray

 

It will sag 

[Wayne2015]

Day off today

Cleaned all windows with RainX

alloys buffered

 

Went on a nice road trip in the countryside

Started nice and glorious sunny...Then got miserably dark and cloudy 

 

POWERED mode all the way

54mpg average 

 

Pic by reservoirs + lunch 

 

 

[Anthony Poli]

Where was the picture taken?

I don't mean the lunch

I need to use the rain x and get mr T to look at my automatic wipers, they start off ok, then suddenly they are going at full speed even with no rain.

[Wayne2015]

Er

I lied about RainX (too much work) 

I actually used RainX 2-in-1 Glass cleaner (contains some rain repellant) - quick and easy 

 

 

Too much work to apply hard wax on alloys - considering using Armor All Wheel Protectant spray 

 

 

Pic taken somewhere on Rochdale Road (county road between LittleBorough and Ripponden)

 

 

I don't use auto wipers (never spot on them) 

[Anthony Poli]

Mine were working great until recently and since the car is under warranty, I might as well get it sorted out.

From the map, its not far from the other half. Milnrow junction of the 62.

[Wayne2015]

Yup 

 

 

Getting lazy so swopping longer lasting (m

But more effort):

 

 

 

 

 

 

To (thought i had Armorall wheel Protectant  ):

 

 

[Anthony Poli]

I had the supaguard treatment since I'm lazy lol

Need to get a scratch and a small bit of surface rust dealt with.

[Wayne2015]

Yeah

I remembered the supaguard u mentioned before - it's still there protecting?

 

Too many spot rust/scratches on my car 

 

After reading about Armor All Shield bring excellent "brake dust repellant" - i give it a miss ...Too messy to spray on and leave for one hour in my opinion (i prefer a spray on and buff)...

[Anthony Poli]

Still able to use just a spray bottle with a water and a drop of washing up liquid, to blast the bird mess off. I dare say when I have paid for the car to be washed its probably had been waxed too.

[Anthony Poli]

I found the exact spot where the picture was taken. I have some app on my iPhone, that will show the metadata that is saved within the photo. So I might take a trip up that way, when the weather is better lol

Nice one!

 

Leaving at JT22 on M62 and head towards Halifax is just as scenic too 

[Anthony Poli]

It's going to be a trip without the gf, she didn't sound interested when I suggested going for a drive out that way. Could always take the drone out with me. No chance of people or buildings lol
