i`ve nearly decided on buying the aurion presara soon , but have heard of a few problems .the other contenders are mazda 6 luxury or holden calais. i know calais has lots of problems , but they do look good: havn`t heard of any problems with mazda 6 as yet. --problems that i`ve heard of consist of key remote not working, sunroof issues, the sat nav system, the rough ride because of low profile tyres and recent post camber issues. are these prolems only happening to a small amount of cars or are they accross the board.

I like my luxy but is there room for a presara .

love to hear from fellow toyota owners : is the presara worth it.

the camber issue is widespread across all aurions, but there is a fix kit you can get that solves the issue. other general problems ive heard is dash rattles and vibrations which can be fixed after constant nagging at your dealer. apart from that, theres the odd issue with transmission gear glaring when cold, piston slap, etc.

i quite like the styling of the new mazda 6 :)

that`s what makes the choice so difficult ,mazda 6 looks good and no one seems to have major complaints, calais looks excellent , great interior space including boot. good dash layout but according to all the specs the presara is head and shoulders above in performance and features ( provided they all work) Reliability is more of a key issue in making the right choice.

IMO, all the listed problems are happening only in small amount chance.

there is a few people(3~4(?) from this forum) reported about camber (pulling left) issue and that can be solved with the kit easily.

I've never heard about remote not working, I think that's because of the remote battery? Maybe..

I am not sure about keyless entry because I own a SX6 which doesn't have the keyless entry.

Dash rattles are being common all across manufacturers anyway...

I've seen 1 case of sunroof not working properly but it was faulty one with the sunroof.

Some said sunroof rattles too.

All the listed problems can be seen from any of manufacturers and I don't think the chance of having those problems are high.

IMHO, buying a car is like ramdom picking. It's all about your luck.

If you're not lucky enough, you could pick a lemon car and having a headache or if you're with normal luck, you won't have any problems for the life of the car.

I have no idea about Mazda6 and Holden but IMHO aurion is quite good deal in that price range.

had the chance today to test drive the presara . I`m sold drives and feels great.! but i did notice that within 6 secs the car pulled to the left and the road was pretty flat.sunroof worked well. sat nav was great.

they did have a trd with 7000 k`s on it . black- sunroof- sat nav and the full sports pack. a simply stunning car. very tempted to buy.

It's good to hear you liked it.

For the pulling left problem, if it happens, wheel alignment could fix this problem for the first try.

If it still happens after wheel alignment, then keep naggling toyota dealer to fix it up.

it's not a big problem anyway and can be fixed with simple kit.

it can be fixed under warranty anyway.

I never had this problem at all with my aurion tho..

The best suggestion i can give you is go with the TRD, don't forget, they are going to become 'limited edition' which is something you want to be apart of :P

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
