Well Axle, we had two Camrys before the Aurion and they were very comfortable. I expected the Aurion to be similar but found the ride firm to the point of discomfort. Small road disturbances produced uncomfortable jolts to the body, even the head. Perhaps I was becoming intolerant in my old age, but there it was! I investigated softer tyres, even changes to
suspension, but to no avail. Eventually I installed 40mm foam padding to the seats and gained an acceptable improvement. No complaints about the
seat adjustability though.
Now don't get me wrong, I love my Aurion. It has great power performance and just the right level of technology for me. The firm
suspension provides excellent road handling, but it does not float along like a RR..... or at least how I imagine a RR floats along. There is nothing else in the Aurion that I hold in disfavour and I will keep it until the wheels fall off, but Toyota could have fitted better seats at very little extra cost.
Incidentally, two Camrys and an Aurion over 15 years and absolutely not touched by even a screwdriver other than regular
services and tyre & battery replacement.
