Hi all!

Just wondering how you guys like the design of the current Camry.

If you have some spare time, just leave your opinion x]

I was wondering whether to upgrade but I noticed that the front of the new Camry looks quite similar to 2008 Civic and sort of gave up! I know the cars are totally different...but a bit disappointed because the 6th Gen Camry looks, for me, beautiful!

Also, the colour range is not as nice as it is compared to the 6th Gen Camry...

The new Aurion design though, looks astonishing!

I would get a camry over a civic any day. But if I had a choice with the Nee Aurion I'd definitely get that without the body kit.

Always loved the blue on Gen 7 camry, reminds me of the lexus ISF blue :)

Don't understand why you pay $40-$50k for top of the range camry only to find out there's no HIDs or washers. You would expect them to be included since you're paying that much.

IMO, first gen Aurion trumps all the newer designs. Not a huge fan of the back end of the new Camry - looks like it's cross bred with a liberty nor the new Aurion (which looks like it was reversed into a wall).

The front end of the Atara models is quiet nice but overall I still think I like the Gen7 better.

Civic - never been a fan. The new one is gross as well.

I'd take the current Accord Euro (even with its 5 year old design) over all of them but.

Toyota forgot to fit them mate, that's all.

These days i would expect any car costing more than 20K to have Hids.Halogen is 80s technology.

There's an Aurion Body kit going for sale soon from Japan - looks a bit like the Mark X - they should bring that car to Australia.

Totally agree!

I would definitely buy the Mark X if they were sold here.. I considered importing but seems that they do not allow it to be privately imported.. x(

You can now import the current model GRX133 Mark X as of a couple of months ago, mate in Tassie is getting the first one in the country (and was the guinea-pig for compliancing)

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!
