Personally, if the seating is not ergonomic, this would be something you would notice on a test drive. If I found that the seating was not ideal, I wouldn't have purchased the car in the first place. Why buy something you will hate, then continue complaining about it?

Guy guys now come on don't be so reactionary :) The car is very fast, the deal at the time was gr8..........can't win hands down with everything.....Notice I didn't buy a ford or a gm :)All cars have their archilles heels. It just that ford and gm have bigger heels and we were not prepared to deal with those vehicles (previous experience lets say). We always buy Toyota's, we just prefer the Kluger for all intents and purposes. I got over it months ago!!

Hi to all.

I have been really impressed by the help you have all given to each other, eg DJKOR, and hoping for some helpful advice to a problem. My wife and myself purchased a 2009 Aurion, are both app 70 years of age,travel a lot but, find ourselves with a sore backside problem after an hour or so. Purchased a 600 dollar set of sheepskin covers, all to no avail. Before the Aurion ,we had a 1997 Magna and had no problems.Maybe our age has some input,but am hoping some kind sole will respect my request, and provide a practical solution for us.

Thanks in advance,

Hi There,

Yes the Aurion is ergonomically (seating) terrible. I have one. My wife has a Kluger which is infinitely better (Great car). Our experience to FLNJ is similar, but we are 50 odd . The Aurion, despite constant seat adjustment constantly puts my back out - My wife and boys literally hate the seating in this car (Front and back). What happens now the Aurion (code named the "Crapion" by my boys) stays at home when we go on on family trips and we take the Kluger instead. The "Crapion"....er .....I mean the Aurion is relegated to being a suburban hack.

Paper won't scratch hardened glass like a windscreen, nor will it scratch a 20c drinking glass.

50/50 metho/water and newspaper+elbow grease, and streak free clean for all mirrors. No reason an old tried method is going to stop working.

Also works well in the house on polished floors.(1/50 metho/water) ;)

Paper certainly will mark glass, not a slashing great mark (Cut your hand recently?) - Contact the NGV, Museums they will tell you - any ceramic glazes (harder than auto glass are not cleaned with paper) - Why is this so? Secondly, having worked in the auto detailing industry wouldn't touch glass with paper, particularly newspaper. Woven material is much more efficient too

Hi,

I'm just wondering whether anyone has a remedy/product for removing PERMANENT water droplets that settle on the windscreen???

I love having a clean shiny car... even my windows seem perfect from far away however when you get close to them you cant help but notice the water marks......

any real solutions would make my day :D

Chrs,

CRC glass cleaner is v.good. BUT what ever you do, do not use paper products to wipe!! Most (All?)Paper cleaning towels etc etc are derived from timber and are harsh (Potential to scratch). Use an old nappy (Clean :D ) or the like. I must admit I do like the look of a sparkling Aurion!

Typical press media - Wheels:(

By the why the wheels journo neglected to mention two things about cockroaches: They are the only creature that can survive radiation from an atomic bomb and they can live up to two weeks without a head! I would like to see a current model Ford or Holden do that!!
