Toyota Aurion 2014 Problems

Toyota has advised us "the replacement VVTi oil feed rubber hose material has been changed to improve durability. Only new level hose is available as a service replacement part".

With local production shutting down the big-car choices are getting fewer and fewer, but right now you can still buy a Calais if that's what you like. You can also buy an equivalent Falcon or Toyota Aurion. There are more expensive cars, from the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi etc. that would suit, but they come with a much higher price tag than a Calais. Others you could try are a Skoda Superb, a Honda Accord V6 Luxury if you're prepared to give up a little in size, and there's also the Chrysler 300C.

Convex mirrors are not unsafe, they just need the driver to take a different view.

There is enough evidence from the US that suggests there is an issue that needs to be addressed. We have asked Toyota for a response to Manfred's concerns.
