Basically. The thing takes OFF. Normal Overtaking in dodgy lanes is really good. Handles really well in low speed dodges and swerves and what not.
Next part:Trying to squeeze between two cars at 130 Ks, gave a bit too much steer for anyones liking, felt unconfident compared to SS (FPV, etc). When it comes to city thrashing your good, but highway favours SS. Oh yeah, response is very sharp too.

Toyota Paul…….. you are funny as have trouble outside of your Toyota Cocoon World. The schmicko updated new Kluger finally has a decent look compared to previous straight awkward crap dished up – this model is great and I could live with inside. BUT it is pedestrian a fair bit as the plastics and fabric is of reasonably good quality at best, and its appearance is durable and sensible rather than exciting (typical). One can assume that you like the inside environment reasonable and sensible rather then exciting.

NM you are another person who cant read, this has moved on from the TRD and is now onto Toyota reliability in general. You seem to be the one who is confused here.

Ha Ha Ha. You said on other posting you are over TRD Aurion, so you then come on here and have the gall to come out of the closet again and discuss your favourite motoring DNA and reveal your true hand. Talk about confused. LOL

Klink…KFC….Andrew.M…. go to that link, read it and weep. You can mention your surveys which are far less accurate then industry figures… you can mention you U.S results (I live in Australia… and you can mention how Ford is great. What you have a hard time mentioning… is the fact that your Ford and Holden were EQUAL LAST in the Aussie survey using industry figures. I repeat = EQUAL LAST. Now Toyota wasnt first, I know that, but they werent last… in fact in vehicles such as teh Territory, which Andrew.M has lead us to believe is the best car in its class, had 60% have problems within the first 5months compared to only 30% of Klugers. This trend continue along all other Ford vs Toyota models. So do indeed continue with your defence, but your going to have to deal with the fact that Toyota is the best manufacturer in the world in part due to its excellent reliabitilty. You want to continue this argument, well your disagreeing with the millions who have bought Toyotas on this fact alone. I think you will find you are very much a minority when it comes to attacking Toyota reliability and LOL talking up Fords.

Toyota – Only manufacturer in Australia to have ever sold more than 200,000 vehicles in one calendar year, and have done so the last 4 years running and increasing that gap…

First really adventurous thing Toyota have done is the TRD – slow and steady seems to have been their main motto!

TRD is a good looking vehicle, goes hard and handles well. Handles a hell of a lot better than a V8 without any stability assistant on it at least… Frang a V8 commie or Ford around a corner same speed as the TRD Aurion… just try it…

FWD is providing a bit of torque steer, no denying that. but overall it is not enough to write home about and say its a bucket of puss… The handling side of things is good, cornering is good, take of is good.

A lot of the marketing needs to be better, and maybe a RWD option, but that just puts them squarely inline with the other big Aussie 6′s… What is pretty much every single new car for people these days? (usually I mean, majority wise)… a FWD…. Albeit, a smaller vehicle, maybe astra, getz, corolla, yaris or what have you… but FWD and therefore people becoming more and more used to, and familiar with FWD vehicles.

different driving feel and style is the main thing. Re-thinking your driving style a bit and just as much fun as flogging hell out of a top spec V8
