The new Auris arrived in all three of the Dingles Toyota showrooms at Norwich, Attleborough and Lowestoft last month, much to the excitement of our many of the family business's customers who had been waiting for the new model to emerge.

And on December 22, John and Barbara Akers were Dingles' first customers to drive away the new Auris from the Attleborough forecourt just in time for Christmas.

This is a story of history, as this is their fourth Toyota, having previously owned an Avensis, Corolla and previous-generation Auris.

Mr Akers said that they had opted for the top-of-the-range Auris Excel, as this offered them everything they were looking for including impressive specification like leather, Park Assist and Smart Entry.

Mr Akers said: 'This finished what was already a very stylish car perfectly.'
