My pos car is proper layout. Engine in front and transmission to the back. No fwd thing. She's 20 yrs old but faithful. 1st and only car I have. My full third party insurance is $965. a year, my engine takes super and I have no loans on it. Full title. Wife car is a nze local with original engine and transmission. Her insurance is cheap just like mine, it very good on gas and no loans. Full title. We pos toyotas could fetch 70 and 50 on a bad day. My car was 120 foreign used. After 20 yrs I loss 50k which is more than the first year depreciation on any Suzuki or Subaru.
Froth how much alluh want, deep down you know I making sense. Enjoy alluh 10 year loans what can I say.
Been reading this thread over a year now and if I had to buy a new suv today it would probably be a corolla cross. The wife say she want an suv so I told her sell the nze and put that as the deposit and I'll take care of the insurance. No way I selling my car. I cannot find a suitable replacement for it. I might end up buying a used Hilux, Fortuner or Prado but never no poser vitara or xv or pigeon frontier lol.

Went camping in the bush in some heavy rainfall. So trail very muddy.
Hilux with off road tyres got stuck halfway up the hill.
Me with my sg forester with road tyres rolled up the hill effortlessly.
Had to unpack all the gears from the hilux and put them in the fozz to the campsite.

I was getting a deal on a bmw 316 for 120 but everyone I asked for advice say to avoid those euros. Leaving a 6 to buy a dead beat 4 cyl is not my thing anyway. See that’s the problem, once you feel the in-line 6 you don’t want anything else and to get that engine today I have to go high end bmw which is not gonna happen for me.

There is a very significant step up in quality, features, function, and performance between what is an "average" car or truck sold today when compared to the very best of what was sold twenty-five years ago.

If cost and local parts availability are what's most important to you, go with what you can afford.kamakazi wrote:adnj wrote:Tezzadude wrote:What started this off was a bunch of insecure hens frothing up because I mentioned 10 Toyota SUVs to choose from.

There is a very significant step up in quality, features, function, and performance between what is an "average" car or truck sold today when compared to the very best of what was sold twenty-five years ago.
That statement is broad
No to that significant step...not in quality, and definitely not in engine performance (within the parameters mentioned)
So let's compare:
OldCorolla E100-E110 series (The best of an average 25yr old car; Can't get more average than a Japanese sedan in T and T)
Engine: 4A-GE 1.6l, 160hp,162Nm
New Corolla
Engine: 1ZR-FE 1.6l,122hp 153Nm(not sure what comes in the new corolla so I'm using this one)
Old Nissan Sentra: SR16(unicorn engine)/SR20
Old Mitsubishi Lancer: 6A11, 4G93T
Old civic: B16B, B18C
All overengineered pieces from 25yrs ago...Not going to find that in today's engines in your average car.
My old 25-year-old engine will have a metal intake manifold, and metal cam cover instead of those plastic bits, which in some instances requires the entire thing to be replaced just to fix leaky seals.
(The L15T in the modern civic is a structurally weak engine; Honda put a turbo on a weak engine and you essentially have a time bomb if you push it)
Today, Restrictive emissions and the finance department ensure that your average vehicle will just make it past the warranty before it starts calling for major parts.
To the individual who mentioned parts availability for old cars...that definitely depends on how much people love the chassis and the drivetrain. Take the econobox Honda Civic EK/EG chassis and drivetrain as an example...manufacturer stopped producing most parts a while ago, but the aftermarket still makes almost everything for that car, and still engineering ways to extend the life of the chassis by allowing you to upgrade the engine or easily put in a different engine and drivetrain.
Could be worse like looking in a mirror everyday and seeing a face like yours.A172 wrote:imagine jumping in that 20yo interior every day

When it comes to the Supra MK4 A80, Altezza, Aristo and Crown S170, that was an era that would never come back. An Altezza is basically a 4-door Supra. Don’t believe me? Watch underneath the car hoisted on a lift. Stock diffs can handle 500hp easily. 2JZ turbos can put out 1000whp and put down 10s passes. What Corolla doing that? Owners of them cars mentioned would find it hard to “upgrade” because a front wheel drive Raize or Yaris Cross is not exactly something to be proud about. People sinking themselves in unnecessary debt to rock the latest plates but all in all they buying rubbish. Korean, yankee and euro owners does have to learn it the hard way.

Govt order vehicles on strict criteria which is then documented and shared to all dealers in the bid documents. All dealers have a chance to bid on tenders. Some of them reach a stage where if govt want a certain kind of vehicle them just doh bother. What other dealer can sell a proper suv like a Fortuner or Prado? Fella, you don't know what you talking about. Toyota should sue you for inciting that them colluding with the govt with kickbacks what have you. In the middle eastern deserts, is only Toyota 4x4 you seeing. Btw, I never saw a lifted Subaru in any 4x4 off road video in TT.

Your point of Government using toyota holds no water ...
Government chooses vehicles on the simple notion of where they get the most kick backs.
toyota as a company has been know to and have been busted for bribing 3rd world gov into big contracts with their vehicles.
Is toyota Reliable yes ... But thats about it. They suck in every other single metric.
If I needed a shitbox to get me from point A to B and thats it, i would buy toyota.
But i enjoying driving and being in a well equiped car that has capabilities beyond just reliability.

The new Grand Vitara also comes AWD. A lot of SUV's also have a 2WD options, that is only common sense. Chevy did not buss locally, General Motors, basically stopped production for RHD markets globally. Ever heard of a Jeep Wrangler or a SsangYong Rexton? You need to educate yourself bro, can't be talking nonsense and don't even know what a Trailblazer is much less the diff between AWD and 4WD

People sinking themselves in unnecessary debt to rock the latest plates but all in all they buying rubbish. Korean, yankee and euro owners does have to learn it the hard way. Where can I find a new japanese rear wheel based car or suv with an in-line 6 to buy? Even Toyota exited that market.
Are you aware that the Mazda CX60 and CX90 are NEW RWD based suvs with inline 6s or are those not comparable to your GOOD OLE TOYOTA
