What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?
My needs were performance, reliability, handling and value for money. It also has a four star safety rating. It has exceeded my expectations.
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
I had done a lot of research on this car which is built on Lexus frame with the same motor as a Lexus 300. Has rear wheel drive. The one I purchased is royal blue, had done lowish miles with leather seats.
What have you discovered since owning the car?
The car is pure driving pleasure. Very smooth with great performance and power. 0-100km in 6.8 secs as good or better than many cars 10x the price. Such amazing value, so underrated.
What do you like/dislike about the car?
There are only two things I am disappointed with. The digital clock is hard to read because of its central location below the computer screen. Even though the doors feel solid, they sound clunky on closing.
