Faults:

Sunroof leaks every time the weather rains, or sometimes when I wash the car. Only had the car since February this year; had the sunroof issue fixed in May. Turned out to be drainage points blocked, but now in September the problem has returned; will be taking to get it repaired again next week.

No other faults with the vehicle so far.

General Comments:

Great car to drive, build quality is extremely good, very comfortable car with a huge list of features.

Sat nav, blue tooth, 6 disc CD player, full leather interior, electric seats and auto dim rear vision mirror, just to name a few!

The only issue is the fact it is a front wheel drive with a 200kw V6... so you do get torque steer, but you get used to that. Aside that, it is very fast, and overtaking requires next to no effort.

Faults:

The radiator has always leaked, and now the core is rusting.

The vinyl on the dashboard is lifting, and the center console keeps moving out as I drive.

Rough idling at times.

The finish of the car is poor.

General Comments:

The car feels cheap and nasty in the interior.

The rubber fittings are sloppy.

There is some body roll in the car when cornering, even at low speed.

Faults:

Nothing yet.

I suppose the wheels were a bit out of balance when I bought it... that's about it!

Hard plastic pin stripe on driver's door is starting to come off (at the door hinge side).

General Comments:

Driving this car often makes me want to check the accuracy of the speedometer - it feels a lot slower than the speed showing on the dial! 100Km's an hour on the highway feels like about 70Km/hr (and at that speed the tacho reads less than 2000 R.P.M.!).

Good power, acceleration. Fuel economy is amazing! Better than my Camry Vienta Ultima - and that had a reconditioned motor, which was only a 3 litre/145kW beastie...

I don't know what people are talking about when they say the Aurion's sound system is terrible... I find it's highly acceptable. It's certainly comparable to my old system - and that was an Alpine CD player running through high power Pioneer speakers!

I found reversing this car (eg; in a tight park space) can be a bit daunting. I'm glad now I didn't get a spoiler on my Aurion. The rear view mirrors on the doors have that "objects may appear further away then they are" effect, will be a problem for some, but I got used to it eventually.

The foot-operated park brake can be a nuisance, I got used to this as well.

My car is the 2006 model, the year these came out. I say this because my early Aurion doesn't seem to have come with traction control, as evidenced by the black marks left at a dodgy parking lot near me. I had trouble seeing to my right, a car came quickly and I gave the gas pedal a boot - the front wheels (with new tyres) spun crazily. Tut tut...

The light for the boot is quite pathetic.
