Sublime first drive experience - very happy with the July 2018 Manual GXL Prado
I had a Prado 150 in 2015 but as soon as I drove it from the showroom I knew it was a lemon...back and forth about 20 times and they diagnosed a drive train fault that they repaired by installing a dampening device to the chassis....it thankfully got rid of 80% of the vibration through the steering wheel...the other 20% when I changed tyres.
I was a little apprehensive picking this new 2018 July compliant car! The sales process was done by phone aside from the paperwork side of things, everything happened smoothly enough. The sales staff we...Read more
re helpful and went through everything. The revised model has some nice touches of silver plastic that seemed to freshen the dash up and gave it a lovely, solid feel. I broke up what was before quite a dark, cheap feel. As I left the dealership today I drove along the 80km/h zone couldn't feel anything....no vibrations, no steering wheel shudder...nothing! I literally held my breath as I got to the freeway and approached 100km when in my old Prado the vibrations started. Thankfully, nothing close to a vibration and I can't tell you how happy I was to cruise along at a 110km and feel what my 2015 should of felt from day one. The standard tyres create some road noise so I'd recommend a test drive in a 110km stretch of road to see if you find it annoying. I was fine with it and where I felt it could be improved, I'll work on that in the future. This upgraded model is wonderful and while I miss out on the techno pack of an auto, I read enough to feel put off an auto with all the overheating commentary. I also noticed that the DPF had kicked in and I think its been altered now to burn more regularly, I clocked up 300km driving from the dealership and when I got near home I noticed the DPF doing a burn by the increased rpm (upto about 1100km). I could smell the burn off with my window down and stationary but it wasn't offensive or intruding into the cabin with the window shut.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Well presented vehicle with initial mechanical issues
In every way the vehicle was fine. Within my specifications (fuel consumption, capacity and reliability) and happy to purchase.
However, within 500kms I observed a vibration that was resonating through the vehicle.
The vehicle was taken back to Toyota on at least 6 occasions where they assured me that have balanced the tyres, re-checked the tyres and "reset" the suspension all to no avail. I've taken the car to be independently tested at another tyre repairer and again, found no issues with the tyres yet this vibration remains.

alated the matter to Toyota Australia at their Port Melbourne Southern Office and Head Office. They involved TMC Engineers look at the vehicle and who've found that there is a vibration coming from somewhere within the drive train of the vehicle. They found that by removing the differential, the vibration had gone but they reported that this was stopping transmission of the vibration, rather than the cause of it. Since they've had it, they done a series of tests and applied a dampener to it to cancel the vibration. It has worked to a point but its disappointing that the margins of error in the manufacturing process produces lemons for which rather than installing new parts, they do a "fix".Similar opinion?
