Message: <blockquote data-quote="Izso" data-source="post: 1064733865" data-attributes="member: 2429">It's a Toyota. Parts are not that easy to wear down if you change everything properly and not skimp on maintenance.No la. You don't have to go to Trial for everything but since they deal with Altezzas so often they probably can diagnose something better than what other shops are capable of. It's an ordinary RWD Toyota. The maintenance is pretty much the same as any VVTI Toyota except where the things are located and strengths/weaknesses.Test drive first. I started off with an auto Wira and did a lot to increase the torque and performance of the car before finally going to a manual. My personal feeling is the Altezza auto is weaker than my modded 1.5L NA Wira. You talk about throttle a little bit - when I test drove the car I literally pedal flat down a lot just to move with the 4 people in the car including me. It's easy to drive slow but you will get super annoyed everytime you want to overtake. It's so low in torque.... so slow.... Anyway I test drove the manual a few times and I can guarantee you will love the manual so much more than the weak ass auto 3SGE G2/G4 tezzas.Incidentally there's a 1JZ Altezza in mudah right now. Should have a look at that car or the manuals. But if you look at the 1JZ make sure it's done properly with the right cross member, fuel line routing and wiring isn't a hack job. I recommend Wan N Lin workshop if you're gonna see the JZ cuz these guys play with JZ converts so often they saw all the problems with my ex-car without even jacking up the car. I can recommend the head mech to you if you want.How much mileage the car can go (500km+) is not a good way to determine FC. The tank for the Altezza IIRC is 60L so if it runs 500km it's expected. And it's a RWD so FC will not be fantastic like the Vios. It's a 2.0 so if you can average 8-9km/L it's pretty decent already especially for a RWD. A Vios can easily get 12-15km/L depending on the model and driving style. So expect to pay more for fuel and sacrifice rear legroom.Overall Tezzas are fantastic cars, a little cramp in the rear legroom area but otherwise it's reliable, relatively cheap to maintain for a RWD car and holds its used car price very well. Parts are still plentiful and if you go to the right shop the maintenance can be very easily sorted for you. Just buy the right car and you'll be fine but make sure you test drive the car.</blockquote>
