I used to love black, but always have a soft spot for white since the white Honda Integra Type R from 1999. Love white car since then.

There is too much to clean for a clean black Kluger.... it is hard enough to keep the white clean.

:D :D SAGE GREEN :D :D

I know not on everyones list but we love it. The car looks a completely different colour depending on the time of day. Anything from green - dark grey - almost a blue green. My 2nd choice would have been Merlot red but I was worried about fading as my car does not get the garage, thats saved for hubbys 53 Chev :-(

He wanted White but having just driven a white car for 8 years I was ready for a change. The black looks amazing but we already own 2 black cars so we knew what we were in for!. Big issue here in Melbourne where washing your car involves a trip to your local carwash or installing a water tank!.

Don't get black. Since it will be a big wash.

Yeah thats true. I have black and very easy to get scratched (My Kluger black paint is very thin, a little scratch and you see the white base) and very easy to get dirty. But it looks awesome tho.

The crystal pearl is really nice. I don't actually have a kluger but if I did i'd get a crystal pearl one. When you see it at night it kind of glows. But I really like the blue too. It's a hard call...

I see one every colour around our areas. Lots of Gold for *** sake... not a lot of sago green though.

Love the white, will never consider other colour. For all future cars for that matter, white sports car for me next (BMW 135 or the EVO X MR hehe... or in a couple of years time, a white Nissan GTR).

I will be picking up my AWD Grande Silver Pearl in two weeks time. The most common I am seeing in my area is the Black.

Geez.. after picking the car up last week.. I've seen a lot of silver, blacks and red in my area now.. was wondering where did it all came from? Lol.

Just got my KX-S AWD (merlot) ... although its a little difficult to appreciate this lovely colour after some gravel road testing.

Great car ... just love it: powerful, quiet, comfortable, so much interior space compared to my previous Honda Odyssey. While Odyssey handles better on bitumen, on gravel the Kluger is so much better that there is no comparison. :rolleyes:

Only complaint is that its a tad difficult to wash/polish the roof by hand ... unless you are Inspector Gadget.

Nah, I haven't been stalking your Kluger out your way. :whistling:

I was originally going with the Tidal Blue but while metallic paint job looks good at a distance, the close-up look didn't turn me on. So I decided to go with a mica metallic paint job ... and the merlot seemed the pick of the crop ... reinforced by your posts and photos on this forum.

In fact, picking up my Kluger was the first time I saw merlot 'in the flesh' ... so I guess I owe it to you and your photos. ;)

Thinking I had the only merlot kluger in Canberra, I was somewhat dismayed on Day 2 to be passed by a merlot Grande :(

Not quite a dead ringer ... I don't have the side steps - they seem a bit pointless coz the roof rack is positioned so far back.

Now to get the rubber boot liner ... but that's a story for another post (to come shortly).

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.

      Rock sliders installation

      I've recently had a company install a set of Phat rocksliders and they've told me they hadn't fitted the centre bracket on the left side due to lack of clearance from the fuel tank and chassis rail. Is there a way to install this without dropping the fuel tank?
