G'day mate, good to see one other CVX owner. I also own a 2005 model, black. what colour is yours? How many kms? They're good hey, whats your fuel consumption like? I was looking at buying the rear spoiler, they make the car look so much better.

White - Just ticked over 50k

ex lease veichle, mine had the rear spoiler on it already (I think it makes a huge aesthetic improvement)

I have since got the factory mats and boot liner (highly recommend) put a towbar on it and got some rhino racks for the kayak

The consumption is exactly the same as my 1995 V6 camry that I sold to buy this.

It sits at about 12L/100km give or take.

Yep, Another Gen 1 owner here!

2006 CVX, Blue/Grey (not sure on the official colour name), just ticked over 50k doing a run down to Busselton (WA). Did the whole wine tour deal through margaret river with four adults and three kids. Very happy with the handling in the wet on the winding roads loaded up with seven people and day luggage.

Can anyone tell me if there is logic behind the overdrive button defaulting to on, then once disabling it a light appears on the dash with "overdrive off". I just presumed it would default to off and you would have to engage once you hit cruising speed. On occasion ill forget when you first start the car to disable the overdrive and it is noticeably sluggish. Shouldnt the light come on to alert you to a function being active?? Im may be overlooking some reason if someone can point it out or advise if the default can be reversed!

Has anyone come across a tried and tested accessory to link up an Ipod to the factory stereo in the CVX? I bought the top of the range Belkin FM tuner/charger with "Clearscan" but it is still very average.

Thanks all

If you want to retain the factory head unit - the only option i know of is to use a tape to 3.5mm plug adapter thingy, much better quality than an FM transmitter

Thanks for the idea, ill look into it but now you've got my mind going! Do i really want to retain the factory head unit?? I do miss my Alpine/Pioneer system i had in my previous car, more than i thought i would!

HI All i have a 05 CV with 96,000 km on the clock. White in colour with rear parking sensors and cargo barrier. Very happy with the Kluger. Last weekend took it for a trip to Sydney and the avg L/l00 km came in at 9.4 on BP 98 octane.

I am a little concerned with the price of parts for the Klugers they are a lot more expensive then most cars i have owned in the past so look after your ride's well.

head to your local wreckers... you may be able to pick up a Toyota 2din with Bluetooth, and MP3 playback... some have an AUX in, on the front.

All I can say is EBay - there are quite a few toyota genuine parts on there from time to time.

Filters, roof racks, headlight covers, mats, tow bars, replacement keys etc

Hey there. Gen 1 Owner here. Just bought a 2005 CV Sport with 49000Km on it. very nice. It comes with the rear spoiler which I agree makes them look top notch. here is the link to my thread with some pictures if your interested http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...t=0#entry372888

Another Gen 1 owner here... 2006 Kluger Grande. 70,000km on it so far. Bought it second hand 4 months ago (ex-lease). I had always driven a Holden Commodore / Berlina / Calais before. Fuel consumption seems to be around 13-15L/100km, but the Holdens gave me 18-20 for the same sort of drives (stop-start traffic on the way to work). Haven't really taken it off-road so far.
