  1. Stone/Grey genuine Aurion car mats in mine. I'm stumped as to why genuine floor mats for the ATX don't fit the Prodigy or Presara models, or vice versa. Sounds suspiciously like BS to me.
  2. A dodgy curry exploding from your rear end.
  3. this made me laugh of first read :D but it would generally work, however, dont want a toy in my rear view :\ LOL. Imagine that. full on bass, awesome tunes in a fully race modded Aurion, with a hello kitty or pokemon stuffed toy lookin out back towards rear traffic. LOL. Too funny! At least you'd stand out in a crowd (maybe not in a good way tho').
  4. Just one thing to consider; blu tac don't like heat. Hot car + Blu Tac = blu dribbly mess that's gonna suck when you see it..... Prolly fine in winter, but come summer it may be a whole different story.
  5. I've also just noticed this issue too in my 2010 Presara (Delivered Oct 2010). Seems to creak when I accelerate, and is most obvious from standstill (eg at a set of traffic lights) and when I brake, whether it be slowing down for a turn, or coming to a halt. I've only noticed it only on warm days though. When it's cool, or at night, I don't recall noticing any creaking. Will get the service tech @ Toyota to take a look at it and fix it at the next service which is still a fair way off unfortunately. In any event, it should be covered under warranty, together with the odd soft clunking I'm hearing from the front end (steering rack?) when I go over brick paving, or over cracks on the road. I guess it's to be expected, considering its age. Soon it will be time to retire and replace the Aurion. It's been a very comfortable and reliable car to date!
  6. Guess you haven't seen me drive my Aurion ;) i fly through the highway without fail No, it's not an 86. Aurions can't fly. :P
  7. What happens when you press the black button to lock the vehicle? Do you get a very long extended, single beep? Have you checked that the key fob battery is OK? Have you tried unlocking and unlocking with the spare key fob which you should have with the Presara? The vehicle comes standard with two key fobs. If you can lock/unlock with the spare key fob, then the key fob you've been using has an issue (most likely low battery).
  8. Sounds like something climate control would do when the car hasn't quite warmed up enough to heat the cabin. Once its warmed up enough, it all comes good again.
  9. Give me a hand or electronically operated park brake any day!!! My other ride automatically engages the park brake when I shift to P and automatically disengages the park brake when I start taking off in D. Even has auto/hill hold assist. I'm sooooo over foot operated park brakes. Especially when they're designed poorly. My Presara creeps backwards if I'm parked on an incline so I really have to literally STOMP on the park brake to its maximum extent before it would "just" hold enough not to roll back. Sounds like a pretty common gripe, if ya ask me.
  10. I guess it's true... scratches/minor dents/chipped paint aren't as obvious on a white car. Not that I'm saying that any of that is on the TRD Aurion for sale in Car Sales that is.... In general though, am I right in saying that white hides imperfections better?
  11. Or..... It's your Flux Capacitor. You're not gonna be able to travel back in time until you get this fixed. In the meantime you're speed limited to below 88mph. :P
  12. I'd personally like to see what 6000W RMS at full power inside a car with you sitting inside it is going to do. I somewhat don't think your power requirements are going to sit on those levels constantly. Just a thought so you plan your needs a little more accurately. What's it going to do? Deafness, tinnitus and total re-arrangement of internal organs comes to mind . Holy crap!
  13. I think as a public service, a bit of naming and shaming needs to happen here so fellow Aurion owners can avoid what sounds like a half ar$ed mechanic. Geez.. fancy that! The mechanic is basically saying, "Dunno what dat there tube thingamahicky is fer... durrrh.... if it ain't runnin funny, then it cain't be too important. *blocks tube*. Durrhhh.... problem fixed. I's a good mechanic, I is.".
  14. Not yet, but i do notice some dampness around the edges when I go through a touchless car wash which use high pressure water jets. Never really been a fan of sun/moonroofs. They will ALL leak...... eventually.
  15. Like Kombi17 said, keep the selector to the middle. The auto-tilt function will then be disabled.
