Aurion Economy

[SCOOTA44]

i guess back in 06 the Aurions power/weight blew the commodore and falcon into the weeds so it didn’t need any more power to be competitive in it's class it was clearly the quickest and most refined - still is... but the Aurion is sort of one of those cars that when you drive you go "geez goes alright doesn’t it" and after a while leaves you wanting more because it's quick not fast! It really needs more torque. 336nm (343nm on 98) aren’t really stellar figures from a modern high-tech 3.5 DOHC Duel VVT-i V6 that produces over 200kw especially when peak torque comes in pretty late in the piece. It's just lucky that the U660E is a pretty handy thing and can keep the engine on the boil pretty well. But more torque would be a good thing i think! mmmm headers haha

now ya talking matty. be the first I run outta dough.

Yeah those figures virtually exactly match mine. I hit town with around 400km of country driving and ave of around 7.3lit/100 then drove the rest of the tank in the city to around 600km and still got an overall of 8.4lit/100 so was very impressed. My previous car a 2004 V6 Statesman with 150KW of power never did better than 10 lit/100 on country runs
