Aurion

where are you located Southern Sydney. I called Toyota and they quoted me $285 - sounds a bit too cheap for one whole alloy! I've further inspected the wheel and it appears that only the paint layers has cracked/chipped/flaked off. I imagine this can be repaired? Seeing as a new wheel supposedly costs $285, it may just be cheaper to buy a new one.

Hi, I have a 2010 Aurion ZR6. I have a wheel which is most likely beyond repair, and was just wondering if anyone knew how much a replacement wheel would cost? The wheel has developed a crack on the outside - probably due to a bad scraped or pothole. If anyone could also provide me with the wheels model name or number too, that would be great. Cheers.

Haha! My bad! No will be kept stock standard and sold again in 2 or 3 years. I didn't quite like them either, but it's starting to grow on me. I wish it was an actual HSV E2 :) And to be honest I think the rear sunshade is a bit of a gimmick but I'll wait and see.

Hi there, Just took delivery of a new ZR6 Aurion in White (build Jan 2010). Very happy with it so far, hasn't got over 20km on it yet! Just thought I'd post up a few noticed changes etc. I have only driven it home from the dealers but have already noticed many changes. So I had 2006 Wildfire Aurion ZR6 with sunroof (30,000km). Traded it in on a 2010 White ZR6 (series 2) Aurion. The wildfire Aurion had a few niggling issues, mainly rattles. The whole dash and the sunroof made creaks and rattles. Nothing too bad, however still quite annoying. It did go in twice to have the rattles fixed, and some were fixed. This time round I decided to steer clear of the sunroof as I never used it and it just made noises, however it did look good on the outside. So a few observations so far: - No more/less dash noises. There is one slight one but it is not constant and i'm 99% sure is due to heat. I'm not worried about it at all. Build quality of the dash appears better, and put together well. -There are stacks of new features. Bloody good value compared to the old money. Just a few - aux, bluetooth, rear sunshade, memory seats/mirror, electric chromatic rear vision mirror, heated side mirror, rain sensing wipers, reverse camera. That's just naming a few things. -The new head unit is great. Doesn't look the best but the functionality is much better. It charges my iphone from the usb port and can also stream music from iphones and ipod touches(and phone and the like) over bluetooth, not just calls. -The reverse camera is okay however the picture quality is rather average - but still does the job. -The rear seats have a slightly different part where the belt goes through (it use to get caught when I used it in the old one, the new one doesn't seem to). However the "bits" that come from a side pocket on both sides of the rear seats are no longer there. These "bits" attach to the belt and pull it away from the person sitting. Not why these were in it either, never used them. -The "netting" on the rear of the front seats has gone. The new one has these plastic parts that pull out, these are attached by elastic. I see the elastic failing eventually, don't know if this was a wise choice. -New cluster lights. Appears to be a nicer, less intensive blue. And the little screen might be slightly bigger too, not quite sure however. Overall I do prefer it though. Overall more than pleased with the changeover. If anyone has any questions about it (nothing mechanical please) just post here. Cheers Here's a photo - sorry about the quality, took it in a rush on my phone.

You really can't go wrong with any of those cars. The Aurion is a powerful car, the others less so. But the aurion does have flaw, especially build quality. Resale should be ok, but with the economy like it is, and fuel on the up, resale is suffering (in all markets). The 6 is a beautiful car, so much so that im seriously considering it as a next car. I have heard they are slighlty underpowered though (a big difference compared to the aurion!!) I personally think the build quality is much better though. The Honda accord is a nice car, I myself have not driven one but the reviews for them are great. Servicing and parts arn't cheap though. Answers: 1) Toyota resale is and has always been good. But with the economy at the moment (and no clear future), and petrol on the up, resale is suffering. 2) Let's say Toyota have produced much better cars in the past. They rattle, they squeak and they take time to be fixed. But this is occuring a lot in the newer cars as more brittle plastic are being used. 3) Having a Toyota serviced is cheap. As are the parts. They have special service plans (I did not take it up, I have a mechanic who I have been using for over 15 years and he does it for me...at a greatttttt price...and his not some dodgy kid on an apprentieship) which end up quite cheap. Have you considered the new falcon? I don't exactly like ford, but the new falcon appears to be quite impressive.

Did you get it??

SOLD for AU $1,575.00 ...anyone here get it?

Wow, there is a TRD Aurion at the NSW Government auctions. No idea which department it has come from, maybe policing (I know the QLD police bought some) Reasonable price too, I think. Link: http://governmentauctions.com.au/vehicle.aspx?number=2490580 Auction is this coming Tuesday. On another note, check this out: http://governmentauctions.com.au/vehicle.aspx?number=2491185 Look at the price and the amout of kilometres it's done!! And where the hell did a government department get that from, it's an import isn't it?

Owner has now found the code! Thanks for the tips guys - that's one to remeber for sure!

Hi, We use to own an 05' camry sportivo but have now sold it. The new owner wants to know where or what the secuirty code is. Does anyeone know where it would be? We bought the car new from a dealership...maybe it's in the service books? I had a look at our service books for our 07' Corolla but I can't find it in there....there are a few codes however under foreign names, eg "Katashiki" or something like that. How many digits is the code usually? Can anyone help? We have never set or changed the raido code...so obviously it's the one from the factory. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks... :D

Wildfire Red :D

They no longer produce the ZR6 or SX6 in Wildfire Red either!!I think this may be because they sell it on the TRD Aurion (it was stopped around the time of the release of the TRD). That new inferno colour is *****!!!So is the new dark grey colour - it's *****!!! (They were the replacement colours) I like green, and it still puzzles me why they discontinued it. I've seen plenty in that colour on the road!

Just yesterday I recieved a letter from Toyota. States that my Corolla conquest (Sept 07) may need the front left drive shaft replaced as it is not up to spec and may lack durability long term (said something along the lines of that anyway). But this has not been listed on http://www.recalls.gov.au/ . So is it a proper recall or what? My car has to be inspected (30 mins work) and then IF it needs replacing it will take 3 hours (but has to be done on a seperate day!). Was a bit of a suprise to me, I thought the recall would have been for the Aurion! Anyone else recieve this letter?

$400 for a genuine side mirror? Try $800-900 for a genuine Lexus side mirror. <_<

No idea what that could be. Maybe take it to Toyota for a look?
