2013 Sportivo SX6

[CASDAN]

INTERESTED.

Was keen to find out if anyone has a Sportivo SX 2013. Recently upgraded due to my 08 ATX been written off. Really happy with the car but has there been any known issues with it??

Hey Mate, I bought a new ZR6, and i've had it for 6 months so far and nothing but great driving!! I've had no issues at all.

[CASDAN]

That's great to hear. Hope I have the same. Great cars hey

[lukeyZR6]

Yeah they are. I had an xr6 turbo before but my zr6 is way better

[mufflers of great justice]

fantastic cars man. Ive had my sx6 for about a year now and it runs fine and smooth. However its a shame that the aurion's dont have much modding potential without spending big bucks =(

great car i have had mine fro about 8 month not a problem with it. i have already installed a exhaust system, led light bar to the number plate and also a uhf (only when i go on a road trip).the only thing i don't like is i bought it used so it has a lot of dents scratches etc. looking to installing a front strut bar new head lights and replacing my 35% tint to 25%.

I agree this is a great car, apart from having a automatic gearbox issue within 8 days of taking delivery :(

One thing I dislike about the vehicle is the Sports Mode. It changes gear without me even having to switch it, as well I know this is bad, but its quite hard to redline the car before you change gears...

I noticed that, in gear 1, if the car loses traction, it will red line like crazy, but if it doesn't lose traction it changes gears like normal.

Mine will redline first and second but after that it will auto change before it hits redline, even in 'sports mode'

Got my tinting at 5% I know its a bit dark but looks great with it being black. Compared to older types of tint there is still great visibility. Heaps happy with the car. Handles great and goes hard.

One thing i noticed with the new gsv50 sx6 compared to the gsv40 is that there is no sportivo logo on the seats, scuff plates were aurion rather than sportivo. And the centre console glove box was a single compartment with no stitching rather than the dual compartmentof the last model. Well this was the case for my sisters loan car from toyota anyway.

Is it me or did Toyota cut costs a bit in the newer model to get the extras such as climate control and push button start as standard in the sx6?

Love my 2012 atx, was going to get a sx6 but decided to get an atx and do it up from a clean slate. 28000 drive away demo

@ yumedake my atx has climate control as standard

@ascendant rice. Note that climate control was not standard in the atx or the sx6 in the previous model. What I was asking was whether anyone noticed if toyota cut costs to be able to make it standard.

The gsv50 also doesn't have led rear lights like the previous model.
