Not every large sedan needs to shout. The 2014 Toyota Aurion AT-X does something more confident - it settles into the fast lane and stays there, quietly eating kilometres while everyone around it is making noise about it.

Under the bonnet sits a 3.5-litre V6 producing smooth, effortless power through a six-speed automatic. It is the kind of powertrain that makes merging onto a freeway feel almost casual. Around town it is refined and undemanding; on longer runs it is the sort of car that makes distance feel shorter than it is.

The cabin is roomy in the way only a proper large sedan can be. Rear passengers get genuine legroom - not the polite suggestion of it you get in a smaller car. The driver sits behind a well-placed steering wheel with everything where it should be: simple, sensible, and sorted.

83,000 kilometres on a Toyota V6 is not a number worth losing sleep over. Aurions routinely push well past 300,000 km with basic servicing. This one has plenty of life ahead of it.

Silver Pearl exterior with a dark fabric interior, four doors, five seats. Compliance November 2014, roof rack included for anyone who likes their weekends to involve carrying things on top of the car. A practical bonus you did not have to ask for.

Priced at $16,500 at our Nunawading showroom - an honest large sedan at an honest price. Melbourne drivers looking for smooth, reliable daily transport without drama will find this one hard to argue with.

The Aurion. Toyota's quiet overachiever - because apparently making a V6 sedan this comfortable and trouble-free just was not flashy enough to brag about.
