I get the feeling from looking at those pictures, that it will not fit an SX6. Or do SX and ZR have the same standard radio?

I was lucky enough to get my SX6 in metallic silver. "Silver Ash" its called. Looks beautiful.

White looks awesome too though.

Mine was already on the showroom floor. Just had to wait a week for the paperwork to clear.

And that was bad enough... Can't imagine waiting months :(

I just booked mine in at Tint-a-car Townsville.

Went with the Bolle film. $450 for everything and get a free pair of Bolle sunglasses 'apparently' worth $240.

Update:

Well, i disconnected the battery for 30mins and reset the ECU. Fixed it up. Dont know why it would of been stuck on a certain reading...

Well i was right. It's completely screwed. i drove home without it getting above 8.4l/100. And i flogged it as much as i could.

Maybe resetting the ECU will help, failing that, looks like its a trip to Toyota.

Yes, that would be useful. I wonder if the resetting is triggered by the opening and closing of the fuel cover/flap moreso than refilling itself. Have you tried just opening and closing the fuel door? I know that it's not ideal, but it might be a workaround allowing you to perform those A to B calculations. Let me know if that works, if I remember, I'll try that myself.

opening/closing the fuel cover won't reset the average... I think you would have to put in a substantial amount of fuel before it does a reset because I only filled-in 8 litres on sunday evening and the average still reads around the same the following day.

Call me stupid, but i thought it calculated it by fuel weight.

I like to think i have a normal driving style. I'm just cautious. I rarely get up it, seeing as though its still new.

As long as someone can tell me its nothing to worry about, I'll be happy. If it's working, it's working, right?

I have had my Prodigy for 3 months and have done 8,000 klms. I only get to 8.5Lt/100klm on the highway. Around the city in traffic it is abot 12Lt/100klm. I have kept manual statistics on consumption the whole time and find the reading is always better (lower) by about 0.2 which is reasonably acurate.

I would say your consitent 8.5 figure is questionable!!!! You would be getting over 750 klms out of a tank, does that sound right?

No that is a bit high. I filled up with 60 litres last Thursday (had about 10 litres remaining), and the remaining kilometers stated around 650 as it usually does on a full tank.

The 8.5l/100km seems fine for the highway as you said, but with the city driving it is still staying ~ 8.5l.

I did drive it a few nights ago for a test (with sports mode), and i did manage to get it to around 10.5l/100. But that was with a bit of a heavy foot.

But i will drive it home today, which is around 40Km's, 50% city, 50% highway driving, and it will not rise about 8.5 for the whole trip, i can guarantee.

Hi everyone,

First of all, I'm not sure if this has already been answered or not. I tried searching but i couldn't find anything specific to my question. So i apologise if it's already been answered.

But let me get down to it...

In December i bought a '07 Aurion Sportivo sx6. So far its been pretty good, no major problems (beside the 'clicking' noise with the VVT-i which seems pretty common as others have stated on this forum).

My question relates to the fuel economy, or rather reported fuel economy. The gauge constantly reports 8.4-8.5l/100km. Obviously thats is very good, but i'm starting to think it maybe too good.

I do about 80% of my driving to and from work, which is pretty much in bumper to bumper traffic for most of the trip. I have however tested it on highway driving also, and find it hardly (if at all) goes higher than the 8.5l/100km reading. Granted, i generally take it easy and don't really 'thrash' it around, as the traffic kind of prohibits that.

I guess I am just checking if, I should be worried about the low reading (IE. something is wrong under the hood), or I should just shut up and enjoy the low fuel usage.

Any help is appreciated.
