Camry V6 that’s still in the family. My Aurion is comfortable front and back, with wide-opening doors for easy access. I have been pleasantly surprised with its performance, economy (mid 7.0L to low 8.0L/100km when touring and 8.75L overall) and general running costs. The original tyres look like lasting 90,000km-plus. This car is a keeper.

GARRY SPEARS:

My Aurion is roomy (the boot too) and comfortable to drive with great sound insulation in the cabin. Road-holding is good, there’s power to spare and fuel consumption is extremely good. I still have the original brake pads and I’ll get 80,000km from a set of tyres.

My second Presara, a 2017 version, was streets ahead of the first. On both, the foot operated parking brake was a hassle. It’s a pleasure to drive — the reversing camera with guidelines has been of considerable benefit. The auto dimming lights generally work well. The satnav is second to none — getting lost is impossible. The audio is superior to the music we hear on Australian radio so I appreciate the Bluetooth capability and USB ports (shame about losing Pandora).
