Average fuel consumption figures for 7000 kms is 14.3 liters / 100km (vehicle has done 39,000 kms)

All driving at speed limits on open road and City Highway / Freeway, and most on Cruise control with A/C.

Yep, 6th gear is useless under 115-120 km/h.

I have discussed with Toyota, but they say it is within spec.

A bit sad really as the the vehicle will just about idle down the road in 5th but won't shift into 6th when cruising at 110 km/h.

The vehicle is basically superb with a ton of grunt, but there are a few things they could have done better.

1. 6th speed not configured for Australian road speeds

2. Too much turbo lag from stand still - got to do with emission settings

3. Don't like the "Bat Car" push start button

4. little knobs on the radio and no steering wheel radio buttons

Other than these, it is the best mannered 4WD I driven on the gravel, and tows like a train.

[/quote 1. I agree 6th gear needs configuring my agent tells me Yoyota is working on modifications to the computer has anyone heard this? needs fixing

2. The lag from standstill can be quite alarming aspecialy if you plant your foot when nothing happens and then suddenly takes off at agreat rate needs fixing
