It all comes down to this: If you are serious about off-roading, the three-door Prado is something you should consider. But if you’re not seriously planning on getting right into the rough stuff, there are plenty of small SUVs out there that are far more suitable to city, suburban driving and even highway driving. Our picks among the soft-road set include the Toyota RAV4, Subaru Forester, Mazda CX-7, Nissan X-Trail and the Mitsubishi Outlander....

On the whole, the new Toyota Corolla is a competent small car that does just what you expect from a Corolla. It’s a better car than the last one and while it is not a class leader when it comes to handling or engine performance, it is comfortable, relatively spacious and is excellent value....

Now that the dust and hype has settled on the Toyota 86, it’s worth having another look at what could potentially be the sports car of the decade. Most Toyota dealers will tell you it’s almost impossible to buy an 86 until next year. The demand for the car has been so high that some unscrupulous businesses have bought some of the limited stock and are now reselling them at a premium. The supply-demand metrics are hugely in favour of demand and Toyota Australia is unable to guarantee more cars from Japan in the short term....

When the first-generation Toyota Prius launched back in 1997, there were more than a few industry pundits who thought the whole hybrid thing was a fad. And like most fads, they thought it wouldn’t last. Humble pie is what those same pundits are eating these days, and more than a few helpings of the stuff. It boggles the mind when you realise that Toyota’s global sales of hybrid vehicles passed the four million mark in May 2012 – and that 2.6 million of those were for the Toyota Prius....

You’re probably not going to see Jennifer Hawkins swanning around in a Toyota Kluger anytime soon – and you won’t find a poster of one hanging on your son’s bedroom wall next to the Lamborghini Aventador and the NSW/Queensland State of Origin team, either....

A car as good as this, at this price, perhaps only comes around once a generation. With the 86, Toyota has put a performance car within reach of anyone who can afford an optioned-up Corolla or Hyundai Elantra. With a bespoke drivetrain, delightful on-road balance and genuine track-day handling, the 86 GT and GTS reviewed here, are in no way 'ordinary'. With the BRZ, each, at the money, is simply without peer. Toyota, with Subaru, has re-written what we might expect of any manufacturer when they trot a sports car into showrooms. Maybe we've simply been paying too much for too long. If you think you might want an 86 GT or GTS, you absolutely do, because if you miss out, you'll miss out....

The 86 GT may not be the model that’s first on everyone’s wishlist, its safe to say that title belongs to the GTS, but the GT may be the more sensible option. There’s every bit as much fun to be had behind the wheel. And you’ve got a saving on the bits you’d toss-out anyway - like the wheels, audio system, brake package and the like. There’s also the promise of Toyota-backed reliability (even if it is Subaru built) and the peace of mind that comes with fixed-price servicing. When you look at the pure driving thrills on offer in a package that’s accessible to just about any budget, you can’t make a wrong decision on whichever you choose. Whether it’s the 86 GTS, 86 GT or Subaru BRZ, each delivers the kind of on-road excitement that has been missing from the automotive landscape for too long. For the less-patient, the GT offers a short-cut into a car that has “future automotive legend” written all over it....
