Toyota reviews
Toyota GT86 coupe (2012 – ) expert review
The Toyota GT86 marks a return to sports models for the manufacturer best known for its economical family cars. Designed to be as low as possible, it’s a hoot to drive, despite being not that quick in a straight line.

Toyota Land Cruiser 4×4 (2009 – ) expert review
The Toyota Land Cruiser has been a byword for supreme off-road ability for more than 50 years, and recent versions have blended this go-anywhere attitude with a bit of luxury.

Toyota Auris hatchback (2007 – ) expert review
The Toyota Auris is the automotive equivalent of a white good. It’ll be reliable, safe and relatively cheap to run, but it won’t stir any emotions or get the pulse racing.

Toyota Avensis saloon (2009 – ) expert review
The Toyota Avensis is a Ford Mondeo-sized saloon which offers comfort and reliability, but can’t match the way the Mondeo drives or looks.

Toyota Land Cruiser V8 4×4 (2008 – ) expert review
The Toyota Land Cruiser nameplate is famed for its robust nature and off-road ability. In this guise, it is mated to a seven-seat body and meaty V8 engine. Reliability is beyond reproach.

Toyota Avensis Tourer estate (2009 – ) expert review
The Toyota Avensis Tourer is well-made, has loads of kit, is refined and has a practical load area. Shame it isn't very interesting to look at or drive.

Toyota RAV4 4×4 (2010 – ) expert review
The Toyota RAV4 started the four-wheel drive ’soft-roader’ phenomenon. It still delivers impressive fuel economy and decent packaging but it's starting to feel dated amongst the latest generation of crossover rivals.
Date added: Monday 28 June 2010.
Toyota Verso MPV (2009 – ) expert review
The Toyota Verso is spacious, reliable and well-equipped. The fact that there’s room for seven in an MPV of this size is an added bonus.
