How fast is Caldina GT4 ?

[had]

No la, I think the Caldina is still a nice car, it's just not an extreme kind of car. It's more focus towards the family man who thinks that the average car is too tame. So the Caldina should be just nice for that duty. It's not meant for Hot Version Touge Battle contender mar..

AGREED

i'm driving 1st gen caldina with 2nd gen engine...manual turbo 4wd....4wd on dyno loss more than ff.....around 30% loss, ff around 20% loss on wheel. and 4wd heavier coz bigger gb,long shaft & rer axle..... mine engine is also rated t 260hp

I tested my caldina with extra 100kg load at the back with 2drs AE111 levin 6sp. i start to pull away from AE111 at 1st gear....in my car i dun feel the power coz of 4wd n heavy car....

This is the kind of description I wanted to hear la, when I asked "How fast is the Caldina GT4" question. The BT had no chance la, even with a lighter body, the Caldina's having twice the torque of the 4A if drag from a standstill. If rolling start, maybe won't kena so teruk la.

I think the FF auto transmission loss is also about 30% coz my BT auto has only 120 ps@wheel (with e-manage).

Caldinas are quite versatile. Had a ST246W, used it for trackday, touge, gymkhana, carry tyres to events (with the rear seat folded it can fit 8pcs of 255/40/17s) and even brought it sideways. Hehehe.

Not meant to be driven really hard though. Blew 2 automatic transmission in 3 years time even with ATF cooler installed. Engine is stock standard, only brakes and suspension upgrade. If the driver is hardcore, it's good enough to kick some ass. With speed limiter removed it went up to 240+kmh.

Tom's Caldina is an antique. Muahahaha.

This top speed I believe la. Har1th7 said 250-260 km/h, that's why I said most probably is an estimation/guess.

Normally by installing a speed meter will override the speed cut.

Hi guys,

Wanted to share with all Caldina GT-4 onwers. I have contacted my ex-Director in Japan and asking his comment on the Japanese fuel/gas rating. As we all knew, GT-4 was required and stated "Premium Unleaded Fuel" in it catalog.

Kindly refer to the find-out from my ex-Director.

Premium Unleaded Fuel = RON96
Normal Unleaded Fuel = RON89

Both mentioned fuel above was available in Japan market now. He advised me to use RON97 but if want to save $$$ RON95 should not be any issue.

He is driving Subaru Impreza WRX STi in Japan and a hardcore Subaru supporter.

it is over rated speed wise, it is for going long distance on highway more than racing. it looks cool though. my friend lent me his gt4 and i drove it from kl to melaka. it feels like a heavy car, there is power but u gotta wait for it.

Cheaper option will be Pivot Speed Meter V... :D

caldina GT4.. tested with e46 325i.... i`ve been wack mid to top speed..

it`s a nice car to drive.. but it`s not a racing car lor ;)

Drove a friend's GT4 some time ago, all I can say is it feels a bit sluggish at start due to AT trans but once the turbo spooled, you'll be blessed with the torque. It's a good car, ease of use at its best. I myself would consider owning 1 of these when it comes to MPVs. Looks good, well equipped, comfortable enough on long journeys and reliable.

i'm driving 2nd gen caldina with 3SGE Beams greytop Auto trany with power & manual ECT 2WD..... in paper its rate 190hp (200hp redtop)

I tested my caldina with Toyota LE with BT 5 speed, as a result at the start,LE take off quickly and my caldina able to follow and after a while LE got smoke from my caldina. also on the highway I chase Lexus CT200H n civic FD 2.0(not FD2R), still a good respond from my caldina.Tested with my friend Lancer GT & E46(320...but only 1.9cc) at NKVE after 3am (back from working night shift) from Damansara to Jelutung, result...... what your opinion ....guesss

Watch tis video from Best Motoring Japan on the battle of station wagons - Caldina GT4 vs Volvo V70 T5 vs Audi RS6 vs Subaru 2.0 GT Spec B

Caldina don't rank very well on the track. :-)

[lkeong88]

If stock to stock, 4agze lose to BT 6 speed, thats why toyota stopped producing superchargers when they release the blacktop.

 

[monsh]

why am i seeing the comparison is always biased ?
its either 1.6 vs 2.0 or turbo vs non turbo

Something like this .
if u were to find out a fair result from test drive, i think its the best choice to compare same category .

 

[hamtaro00]

hijack sikit.

fc and in general feel of Airtrek turbo and caldina gt4, which will be better?

 

[muzhaffar]

was tailaiting caldina at sungai besi seremban highway.. still can follow but during acceleration(starting accelerate @130), it left me behind slowly until speed reach around 170, manage to stick back at its back..perhaps it still got speed cut..then on the way from kelantan to KL, @ bukit 7 up until padang tengku..tailgaiting an n spec caldina..got many car that time..can't reach very high speed..but when overtake, it manage to accelerate nicely from mid speed. i need to struggle and redlining to follow.. was using ae92 with blacktop 6 speed that time..when i was using st171 with 3sgte, @ bukit 7 also, follow a caldina zt, that time speed around 80-90, was using 4th gear..can see the caldina struggling and end up with black smoke come out from exhaust during the hill climb..but during corner, it seems very stable compared to my old car..haha..in loved with that car at first time saw it..nice car..wish can own one someday..some more, it already face out..so, it would be the latest version of caldina forever...
