X-WING Member 811 Member For: 22y 10m Location: BRISBANE Posted 19/04/07 06:49 AM Posted 19/04/07 06:49 AM On a recent 1400km road trip I got to 1st hand compare a new SX6 6sp auto Aurion against my 4sp XR6T and as much as I hate to say it The Game Has Changed.Over the 1400km journey we compared fuel and performance in which the SX6 stood up to the plate each timeFuel wise the SX6 got 7.8/100 against the T 10/100 Each car had 3 on board and a full boot no room to spare so we were even on the weightSo it came down to the overtaking lanes getting around those 18 wheelers and I can say the SX6 stuck to my rear bumper like chewing gum under your shoe's ,and when the roles were turned around I was flat keeping up to the 6 speeder in front.Even of the lights on an incline the SX6 put a 1/2 car length on me for the 1st 60ft then we backed off I must admit we haven't had a chance to compare with empty boots and 1 driver only but I think it's fare to say that forgetting what the stats say the Toyota can hold it's own against the XR6T and I think it's a fare call to say look out Phoon drivers when the Supercharged TRD comes out Putting above aside the Toyota beats the T hands down for build quality Toyota have even put sound dending under the rear wheel archers and its a nicer car to drive everyday if it wasn't for my love for the T I think I would trade up for the ZR6 or the new TRD in August..

Although the toyota is about 200kg's lighter, there is no way that it would keep up with an XR6 Turbo. I'd be getting my car checked out if camry's are keeping up with me

But take out After market mods you may or may not do and take away the speed factor Ford and Expensive Daewoo are on catch up for the nicer ride for your money

I'd be getting my car checked out if camry's are keeping up with me It is a 200kw 3.5 V6 6speed in which I think is about 100kg lighter against my 4 sp as my later post said against a 6 sp T maybe differant

If camry's are keeping up with you, there is something wrong
