Were you having a lot of problems with your 04' Feb. built Stivo mate otherwise i cannot see why you would want to swap a 6 month old Stivo for another 04' Ausgust Stivo? Maybe for another car yes but for the same car? :huh: Unless it doesn't cost you a single cent for the swap. But you would now have to go through the running in process again! Anyway, its your car and you are still a Stivo driver which is always good to hear.

Btw you said the New Stivo will cost too much and leather is option. Is that a fact and do you know the rrp for the new Stivo next year as a friend of mine is thinking of getting one next year.

Cheers,

Zee

The last "old style" Silver 2004 plated vehicle in the country.

Hmmm, not true. Northpoint Toyota (SA) has had one on their lot for 4 months, awaiting recall parts.

Was still there on Friday, waiting for an owner. Maybe not as new as yours, but still a silver "old style".

The Toyota Corolla Sportivo is the best bang for you buck vehicle, and also the ones with the most features. And that's why I bought another one.

I have considered other vehicles, such as the SP23, Focus, Impreza, 206 GTi180 etc; and having heard their horror stories, the Stivo has far less issues.

Then again the HSV R8 and Commodore SS came close, but with their problems of oil leaks and pre-mature detanation of their engines, rear tyres wear out in 20,000klms. No thanks.

I will keep my lovely new Sportivo, and will be buying another vehicle in the next 12 to 18 months, a Honda Civic Hybrid, and the Stivo will be right next to it in the same garage.

If I had money, I would keep the current one I have, and have two.

Honda Civic Hybrid is cool! I want one too but there was none at my dealership today when i went in to have a look. Considering getting one in the very near future. It is cheap too for a Hybrid and its a Honda Civic! I think it is a better hybrid as compared to Toyota's Prius. Not just in price but also in looks and handling (double wishbone) plus Honda cars are almost fully reclycable if you are really green :D

Rang them, Build 2003, Compliance 2004.

OK, I stand corrected. I was however just repeating what one of the (obviously lying dirtbag) sales guys told me last Friday - that the car on their lot was 4 months old (i.e. complianced around May). Clearly that car has been kicking around longer than he suggested.

Anyway, I'm all for people upgrading every 6 months. Keep up the good work.

Why? Because I can, and the new one will cost a lot more, and leather becomes an option.  Looks dreadful.....

Just wondering where you found out this information?

If toyota is going to bump up the price an have leather only as an option then im really going to reconsider purchasing a new one :(

All the information ive been hearing says that toyota are only going to increase the price a little but keep all the key features of the old model....

hey sport1vo, good choice! i'd deposited and now waiting for my new rolla'stivo to arrive! the guys from the 2 dealers that i went to told me that it'd be here around Oct/Nov so hurray, no next year bs :) :P as for the price, it'd be a tad increase, prolly in 'hundreds' and Quicksilver was right, leather is "standard", thanks ***! i just wish that we can choose our seat color tho! damn, dark colored seat with my black stivo! :( off the topic, is black a right choice? i heard that u'd take extra care and regular cleaning to make it look decent! :unsure: damn the waiting is killing me... :ph34r:

Black is THE choice for me :ph34r:

It is like a really nice chick: high maintence but wicked to look at :D :D

Silver with black windows is a really classy look, and heaps less washing (hides the dirt well) ;)

Depends on what you are after, I don't regret getting black :D and when you give it a nice polish :o

As far as extra cleaning goes, if you dont need it absolutley mint, a trip to the car wash and a blast with the suds gun, followed by a rinse (NO BRUSH) keeps it neat, with a wash every couple weeks.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark
