@@byronde Honestly, I've already had the P0A7F code twice lmao. Clear it and keep going. I've budgeted for a replacement, and the car is still driving effortlessly, I've just been lazy. But if you buy one, get a new battery ordered asap. Mine is fine most of the time currently, but it does drain very, very quickly (in traffic, it'll drop from 80% to 10% within 400 meters.) I'll be ordering from InfiniteEV - $4,220, shipped, supplied, fitted+labor, and old battery disposed of, including decent warranty. Not too bad.

In Jamaica my brother has a 2013 gs 250. Very nice car. Burns fuel way too high. What we do here is tune them for better fuel economy and higher power with better pedal and gear switch response time. I must say though, when you clean up one of these its a reallll beauty

[@RossReviewsau]

Thanks for sharing brother

[@petermanuel7128]

Interesting review on the Mark X. I really like that it is rear wheel drive. They would be a much better handling car than the standard Camry. It’s a shame they didn’t release them here. It’s a good looking car. Far more interesting than the boring EVs and SUVs. How has our choice of car become so limited as time goes on?

Just a heads up, the 2015 Aurion models has a button to turn off traction control. I know you already reviewed a TRD & the older standard ATX 40 series model. But if you could, give the 50 series Aurion a try, especially the sportivo version. It's quicker, handles better, and it's faster than the older series.

[@RossReviewsau]

True haven’t tested a new one yet thanks for the info

Bro in Jamaica we even have the (+M) modalesta version 355hp that’s like the m5 competition if the mark x 🔥

[@troyvlody1365]

Tuning capabilities are limited with the 2gr-fse,not to be confused with the 2gr-fe which is in the aurion here in Aus,..The supercharged trd aurion had to be detuned to 242kw because anything close to 300kw they were destroying bottom ends ...The motors are ridiculously expensive to build up to handle the power ...It's a massive reason I didn't buy one myself,because they visually are one of my fav jdm cars

[@christophedecavalla2941]

@@vincekara9446 unlike the falcon taxi look? Mechanicals are identical to Lexus GS and IS. Any part price difference with Ford are cancelled by price difference of the car and reliability. I've owned both so I know what Im talking about. Falcons are good and was happy with mine but looks are subjective and they're not even in the same league when it comes to built quality and efficiency.

[@vincekara9446]

@@christophedecavalla2941 Actually the BF F6 is climbing in value and I can say that it exceeds the price difference to yours and will continue to do so. In relation to build quality, I completely agree with you; that the Toyota is way superior and more efficient. However the reliablity of the Barra, mated with the German ZF6 speed will give your car a good run for its money. If you iron out is inherit issues, such the transmission bypass cooler, external Turbo oil line feed and an aftermarket, reinforced ignition fix, they will last for a long time. They love constant maintenance and not neglect, like many racers do. Run them to the ground and complain when they get a hefty repair bill. In fact my brother's ~ 2013 Aurion 6 cylinder neeeded a water pump replacement less than 100 Kms. I guess it depends on the way its been treated. Like you said it's subjective.
