  1. Hi fellow Aurion owners

    Just picked up my 2013 Aurion AT-X from the dealership today, the car has been exceptional overall so far but two things have caught my attention.

    Oh and the dealership forgot to complete one part of the road worthy process so they lent me a loan car (2nd Gen Aurion AT-X as well), which I had for about 5 hours before picking up my car.

    1. When I turn on the front demister in my car the fan speed goes from off or 1 to full blast. Is that supposed to happen? When I used it on the loan car it stayed on 1 and demisted the wind screen just fine.

    2. It might just be me but after going from the loan car to my car it felt like the engine was much more audible especially at the lower revs under 3000 rpm, and the overall engine sounds different, slightly higher pitched. It was like part of the NVH insulation was missing or something.

    Thanks in advance for any input :)

    1) Nothing unusual. My front dermistor blows up like a hairdryer full blast. I might speak to the service centre on my next visit. Bought my 2013 AT-X from the dealer in March.

    2. Not sure about this. Hard to quantify unless personally there to listen to the engine sound.

  2. Hi everyone, I just bought a 2013 Aurion (Toyota Certified Premium Used Vehicle).

    12,000 km on the odometer

    Melbourne

    It was formerly a Toyota company car from the Altona plant, so technically I am the first private owner.

    I have tried to read the FAQs and searched the threads in this forum, but there are still some queries:

    - What am I entitled to as a purchaser of a Toyota Certified Premium Used Vehicle.

    - I was offered the 5-year extended warranty at $1,295 with capped price servicing (factory 3-year warranty runs out in Oct 2016). Is it advisable to purchase this?

    - I was offered the reverse parking sensors with a one-line alphanumeric display (about 3 cm diagonal length) that can be installed above my rear view mirror, for a price of $500 by the Toyota dealer. Is this a good deal, or I can get a better deal elsewhere?

    - Tinted windows to regulatory standards ( can't remember what is the SPF factor) but I was told the film blocks out 60% of the visible light and UV rays. Price is $375. Is it worth value for money?

    - Where can I find a reliable installer for retrofitting aftermarket products like fog lights and front facing cameras and dashcams?

    Thanks heaps for your advice and my apologies if these questions have been asked before. Please point me to the right direction.
