"Marvellous"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Until now, i have NO PROBLEMS with this car.

General comments?

This car is very reliable. However, parts that have to be removed because they are used (my car has more than 200000 km) are not cheap. On the other hand, these parts are very strong and they do not fall apart before their time has come.

It is not a very quick car, but it does not need very much diesel. I need only 6 litres of diesel for 100 km.

It is also a very comfortable car.

I agree with you. I have 2.0D GX 1997 which has covered 145.000 km and is in very good condition. Imported from Holland in 2002.

Had few minor repairs such as thermo sensor and semi-rings. It uses around 7l of diesel in the city, and around 6l on the open road. It is not a fast car but it is reliable and strong enough. Engine sounds nice and not too loud for a 12 year old diesel. Suspension is a bit stiff but the grip is exellent. It is still nice looking car too.

Previously I had Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5 petrol. It was good and fast but I would never go back to it. Toyota rules!
