Which car is better, the Euro or the Aurion?

**vteccoupe** · 07-09-2011 10:30 PM

my missus has a aurion sportivo and myself having a cl9 euro.

build quality - CL9 win hands down, aurion just feels too cheap and when going over uneven bumps, u can hear rattling and any other sorta weird noise ( might be becz my missus' aurion has been lowered )
power wise - if ur gonna drive long distance, aurion wld b the pick, much less driver involvement, jz step and laze in the soft unsupportive driver seat, overtaking on country road is a breeze, whereas euro u gotta rev the nuts outta it

on wkends, i rather drive my cl9 than the aurion. Feels much better quality and even tho its just a honda, it feels alot more upmarket as compared to the Aurion and u feel u r in a more expensive car.

I thought only for Cu2 you have to revs up a lot to overtake. Is it same for CL9 too? CL9 is a small car i thought easy to overtake

CU2 if im not wrong got closer gear ratios, thats y despite the weight, the 0-100 is pretty similar to CL9.

CU2 is like CL9 with Hondata, engine is more aggressive and shift pattern is different

sigh. work car is a v6, delivery car is v6, and now im in a jeep (v6) due to injury. when i hop into euro there is no power.. but i much prefer my euro and the way it hugs me even when i rev it hiiiiiiiggghhh.

oh and also, theres a factory problem on the aurion and its known in the toyota forum. - even after alignment, the car still pulls to the left

This has been reported by countless aurion drivers, and honestly for a big company like Toyota to not rectify this basic problem, its a big minus

aurion is bulky but heaps good power value-wise.. 200kw in a camry, stock?

i prefer the euro though, it most likely handles much nicer than the aurion and has nicer luxury features, nicer leather seats, heated seats, hids etc..

my parents own a ZR6 sportivo aurion btw and i have driven both.. it would be nice to drop that engine in my euro with a manual gearbox haha, best of both worlds!

Before you say OMG U HAVENT DRIVEN ONE oh yes I had to for like 5 months and it was shit, I'd actually rather drive a Corolla.

all of toyota's cars are like that.
