Keep or renew our Auris?

My Camry 3ltr is 18 years old, has done 99,000 miles and never let me down. Repairs have been minimal and due to fair wear and tear, like radiator, gaiters, gaskets etc. I'd like to keep it forever!

My wife's Auris is 5 years old, 45,000 miles and has been pretty good. We had to replace a failed water pump bearing and Toyota recalled and replaced the semi-automatic clutch, which (hers was an early model) had an inherent defect.

The question we have is : should we plan to keep the Auris long term or not?

No, move the Auris on. This type of automated manual transmission becomes troublesome.

Decent combination of ride and handling that might suit some people better than a harder sprung Golf or a Civic. A few inches taller than a Golf of Focus so easier to get in and out.
