Hi all, my first post and already I'm asking questions !!!!!! I have just sold my beloved Mitsubishi Pajero :( and am looking for a replacement family vehicle. I won't accept anything Ford or Holden make and have previously owned a Camry, a Starlet and an echo and find Toyota's to be very good value. I like the look of the Prodigy and the wife likes the SX Sportivo and are looking for a 2009 model with <10,000km. I'm researching the Aurion, trying to find things I may have to watch out for. There doesn't seem all that much thankfully. The two issues I have read on the internet are; 1). Rattles in the dash / console. 2). Transmission gear changes Are these real issues to watch out for ???? Are there any more I should look for ???? As for determining whether we buy the Prodigy or the SX Sportivo, I'm curious about a few things, things that may sway me (and the wife) one way or the other. 1). Prodigy has leather and the Sportivo cloth...I have never had leather seats before now, and as we have a 5yo, I'm curious as to how robust the leather seats in the Aurion are ? 2). Does the firmer suspension of the Sportivo get anoying eventually, I tested one and it did seem a fair bit firmer than the Prodigy. 3). What eceonomy figures should I expect with easy driving around regional areas ? Cheers in advanced........ Steve
