hey guys

im so close to buying the aurion zr6 just waiting on a few things , in the meantime just got a few questions

1) How do the parking sensors work on the zr6 , like do they beep when you get close to cars and stuff

2) with the sat nav unit do the maps include where fixed speed cameras are, whether to choose toll ways or no toll ways and can you use ur bluetooth phone when the car is in motion

3) whether the cd player reads mp3

4) how exactly does the triptronic gear shifting work i.e whed you go from d into the sports mode what gear does it go to

5) Lag when acceleration....is this a big problem and very noticable

6) black the best colour to get?

And the major question

Whats the major differences in driving between the fwd and rwd cars , what are the negatives and positives of fwd

Thanks all

Hi There,

I have a black 07 Sportivo and luv it, My Cd stacker plays mp3's but is a 4 stack not 6 stack i'm not sure if that was an option for the Presara, the sensors work by beeping quicker as you get closer but only if you switch them on at the dash mine doesn't have any visual on the dash again could be an option for Presara. Sat Nav doesn't show speed cameras it is a whereis map CD and updates are CD's purchased through Toyota or whereis on the web, you can select tolls or no tolls and yes you can use blue tooth when driving. You can show hotels or resturaunts on the display and with info supplied by the satnav you can call them to make bookings while you drive. Triptronic is in 4th when selected which is a little bit annoying as you might have been in 6th when you selected. My Falcon switched into what ever gear you were in when in drive. Lag is a problem at first but you get used to it, you will be surprised how quick she is especially with 95-98 octane at 204Kw. Front wheel drive takes a bit to get used especially steering torque when it tries to rip the steering wheel out of your hands but again you get used to it. You can do front wheel spins and mine has even chirped in 2nd but you can no longer enjoy a good fish tail. Good luck your gonna like it, craps on my XR6 and VT SPack.

Looks sweet. Been thinking about doing this to mine but insurance is then an issue. Who are you insured with if you don't mind me asking. Alliance won't insure a lowered car.

I have a black Sportivo and yes I wash it every week just as I have done with all my cars. I certainly didn't care about dirt nor small scratches, nothing looks as cool as a black ZR6 clean or dirty.

Hi Guys,

Has anybody heard of a replacement grill for the Aurion Sportivo ZR6. I would really like to get rid of the big T logo on the front.

Cheers

Hi Every One,

I have planned to buy Aurion ZR6, i have made a deal with Toyota SCI-FLEET (Brisbane), i am getting the 2006 Demo Black Aurion with full navigation system for $41000, it has got 6000 Kms on it, i have also got full leather protection, grease,

and paint protection etc... included in the price, so does buying a demo car makes much of a difference,

because the new car price is i think 42,500 and on road cost would be around 44K and after putting paint and leather protection and navigation it was coming around 51K, so i am going to save around 10K , so is it a good deal and how is the

car in terms of acceleration and performance.

I Purchased my Black May 07 ZR6 exdemo with 5500K's. It had 18" wheels, sunroof, front and rear park sensors, Sat Nav, and 6 year warranty for 45,000.00. I love it, it has plenty of go compared to my XR6 and is 100kg's lighter. I think your pretty right with your figures go for warranty extension especially on an 06 model.
