Hi all,

Have recently bought an '07 ATX Aurion. I visited the forum a lot as a guest in the lead up to buying the car. Heaps of useful unbiased information which made the decision easier.

Couldn't be happier now. Great car, but I think I'd like to tweek a few things so I'll see you in the forums.

Cheers - Bri60

Y aurions pplz u can get much betta toyotas for cheaper prices?

nice way to endear youself with the Aurion owners on this forum.

to answer ya question as an owner, the Aurion is one of the best looking sedans Toyotas ever built,comfort,power,economy,size,build finish,current model,saftey features,ect ect ect and Australian Made(with jap tech input)and most people i know or have spoken to seem to be impressed with the car overall.

p.s just my 2 cents.

Hey Matt the Aurion will be around for sometime maybe ya can keep an eye out and get yourself one when ya finished with the Kluger,and at 23 the Aurion would fit ya like a glove,not sure how many modified Aurions gettin around Canberra but ya got some of the best roads in Oz,there sooo smooth and wide and sh!t loads of roundabouts,use to have heaps of fun in and around Canberra when i was a sales rep. :D

That is true. I was surpirsed at how nice the roads were there. However, the one area the Aurion really shines in is it's handling. When your driving a large car with really nice handling, it is such a nice feeling as it's not completely natural. Canberra may have good roads, but it is missing some windy mountain roads.

P.S. Like your last part of your signature 1stKill.

Canberra's only about a hour or so from the ski fields so plenty mountain roads to play on :)

and yeah the Ambi Pur is a must have mod,much better than the stock air smell. :lol:

Now you know why my fuel consumption is so high. I have always been driving like that ever since i removed all the noise reducing intake restrictions. The engine sounds sweet in it's power band doesn't it. I would hate to think what would happen to it if I added an SRI.

      How much is a Toyota hilux grinner 1990 2xd worth

      1998 Toyota Celica Pricing idea

      Shannons looked at my 1996 ZR, with similar kms, 12 months ago and covered it for $15K. The prices are still going up for good cars.

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Had a similar issue with my 2003 Camry sedan. I'm think the mechanism might be bit stiff, so removing the door card and spraying the locking cable (the one that pushes the lock knob into the lock and unlock position on the interior door handle) with some Innox might work to loosen up the old grease and get it working again.

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi Ed, Hmm that's a tough one mate ..short of going to Toyota to get genuine and no I doubt they would laugh at you as it's a sale and money is tight right now. I am not sure if you are on Facebook or not but I have seen an advert on there for what looks like superb floor mat sets that do seem excellent quality and a wide range but like most things now they are not cheapish. My best advice is source some good quality ones and search online for someone who offers embroidery as some do tradie shirts and logos on clothing it may be worth a phone call to those sort of places as I know a local one to me does all sorts of work on many things related to embroidery or an alternative choice is the online sites like Temu... EBay etc Let us know how you get on mate good luck. KAA

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Gday, I've got a 2001 Camry wagon which has been having locking issues for a while now, just started occurring out of the blue. There is no fob so we manually unlock and lock from the driver side door, however the rear and front passenger doors consistently have issues. Either when we unlock one or both doors don't unlock and must be unlocked from inside the car, or when we lock it one or both don't lock and the car beeps. To fix that, we open the door, lock it from the inside, the lift up the handle and close the door before releasing the handle. That fixes the locking issue. When testing the locks from inside the car, I can see that they partially lock and unlock, so I'm wondering if they need to be replaced entirely or if there's some other way to fix it. Cheers

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?

      Engine conversion

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was upgraded to a turbo version before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it?
