Faults:

Alternator fault - High beams wouldn't function due to low charge.

Faulty rear door (driver side) - won't unlock centrally.

ABS fault.

TRC (traction control) fault.

General Comments:

Generally a refined, reliable, affordable and competent car.

This car is 'fully loaded' and well specified including the following;

Side-mirror heaters!

Front windscreen heater elements!

Electric drivers seat adjustment

Switchable traction control

ABS

Premium sound system with sub woofer (OEM)

Rear intermittent wash-wiper

Alloy wheels

Climate control

Cruise control etc.

Despite the faults listed above - of which only the first one was critical - the ownership experience has been pain free and pleasant.

The ABS and TRC faults can easily be sorted out with a re-set of the ECU (Electronic Control Unit)

The 2JZ-GE (normally aspirated) engine is smooth, refined, powerful and sounds great when you get above 3500rpm. At which point it pulls like a train, and has plenty of power for passing other cars.

However, beware that driven like that for long periods the fuel consumption of this car can be SHOCKING! Driven smoothly and below 2500rpm it returns more than adequate performance and consumption figures.

Faults:

The only thing that has gone wrong with this car so far, is an exhaust leak (at the front of the car) due to rusty bolts. But really this is an amazing car, especially for the price.

General Comments:

The interior of this car is nothing special by any means. This is probably the worst thing about this car.

On the outside the car looks great; sort of a family car almost, which makes this car ideal for people like me who love sleeper cars.

This Mark II is unbelievably fast. Never would have thought I would be in a four door sedan holding on for dear life with my head stuck to the seat.

It is also easily upgradeable; with the few upgrades I have done (ie: exhaust, pipes, intercooler, and tires) 350hp is easily obtainable.

Faults:

Brakes haves been making a knocking sound when pumped.

Rear windshield has been broken and I cannot find a replacement.

General Comments:

It work like a dream. But since the rear windshield has been broken, I have not driven the car since then. I have been trying to get the windshield for about six months, but it was no use. The company does not stock it, and when I ordered it in, they misplaced it and they told me because of high risks, they cannot bring it in for me.

Can anyone help me to locate a windshield for my car I am in need . Please assist me in any way. You can email me at grbautoimports@gmail.com with any information.

Thank you.

Faults:

The headlamps are not bright enough. I have had to change the bulbs. Very weak light.

General Comments:

Very good car.
