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

Welcome... and hopefully we will see you at one of our (mostly) weekly meets. It's good to see the Brisbane Aurion population on the forums here is increasing. Seems like it's the place to be :lol:

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.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.

      Android auto

      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? 👍
