Ask them about custom made seat covers. I had them made from Autobarn. Chose a fabric i liked and they made them to suit my exact model. Fit perfectly. Cost $159 for the rears and the fronts were off the shelf

Haha, yeh I did think of that one lol. I now feel like an idiot asking that question, but the only reason I asked was because it was a second hand car with warranty and I need to make sure everything is working.

Thanks for your feedback. I do agree its not crucial that the mirror buttons are lit i just wantd to make sure they werent supposed to be. My alarm must be an aftermarket one then. Im not overly happy with it so either rip it out and get the factory one turned back on or get a new aftermarket alarm fitted. I just cant deal with an alarm that makes a mouse fart noise and doesnt even flash the indicators. lol. As for the power steering its exactly as you described DJKOR. I had to get out of a sticky spot where i was parked in and noticed the noise holding it on full lock. I guess i will try to avoid that in the future. Once again forum members to the rescue. I learn something every day. Thanks.

Hey all. Im new to the club, but been into toyotas for ages. Had 3 corollas and a yaris and just stepped into a 2008 Aurion Sportivo SX6. Overall Im extremely happy with the car, goes well, good on fuel, drives well. I picked it up from a Toyota Dealer after spending months looking for a private one without damage. I have read the common problems people are having with the Aurions, and luckily i have the August 2008 model so there are no dash rattles, I have the solid metal VVTi oil line, and dont seem to get a knock in the intermediate steering shaft, But, after a few weeks of driving i have picked up a few things and was wondering if anyone could enlighten me.... 1- Is there supposed to be a backlight on the electric mirror controls, and the door lock/unlock button? I couldnt find the mirror controls in the dark and its quite annoying. 2- What is the factory alarm system supposed to sound like. When armed and i unlock the door and open it, there is a pathetic siren and the hazzards dont even flash so people wouldnt have a clue what car was being broken into!! I think mine has had an aftermarket alarm fitted and the factory one turned off. It still makes the beep when the remote is pressed like every other aurion. 3- When I turn full lock on the steering wheel and hold it full lock, i can hear a slight rattling sound outside the car. Is this normal? Thanks guys. Tim
