How much? Does this have the 2jz without the turbos? What's economy/performance like as I'm reading mixed reviews on the net.
Over the weekend i picked up my latest car fortunately provided by my company. Its a 320d business edition. imo it looks a bit wrong with the 16" wheels but it has leather, nav, heated seats etc which is very nice .
I have a few other cars which i would like to share at some point (i tend to have a few at a time
). I just sold my XJ to be replaced with this and i also own a toyota supra, Mercedes 190e and a rover 200 track car.

the 2jz-ge makes 225BHP in the MKiv supra, unsure about the GS300.
I can tell you the power is adequate although maybe less so in a heavier car but was not easy on fuel!
Soldato
Thanks Nath. I was just curious as don't see many of these about, and I didn't know what engine they had.

sounds lovely too, nice straight 6

Cleaned my car for the first time properly this year during my week off.

What does that sticker say on the bonnet? "swagger?"

Soldato
No, probably "Swagger". But i like the idea of the sticker questioning it
yeh gurl, put it on last year at japfest so probably due to get removed for something else soon
Soldato
Nath man you used to be cool.

That's smart but those wheels!

Yes it's the same as the NA Supra, 212 bhp in this. It does go pretty well, as standard they make no noise at all, mine has a HKS Hi Power Silent exhaust, it looks a bit extreme but still sounds like a standard car, I'd say the same or slightly quieter than a stock BMW 330ci.
Fuel consumption, I think I made 36 MPG on a run, averaged 25-26 MPG commuting to work down B roads, it could do better if driven very carefully. I've got it up at £2995.
