Cracked radiator Core for the Air conditioning. Not major.
Boot rubbers leaking water into boot cabin, mainly on right side.
Windscreen wiper motors blew. Sometimes a very common problem 95% of the time with VN's and Lexcens, where a screw comes loose in the motor casing causing the motor to jam & the fuse to blow. However, this was not the case, the motor just died.
Very gutsy car. I have no complains on all round performance. It loves to kick off the mark and lives up to every corner of it's 3.8L power. She does not whine when forced to shake her thing!
It's holds well at high speed on freeways and the handling is smooth, however, quite forceful at times.
The economy is surprisingly slightly better than VN's as I get around 500-550Kms to the tank on open road & 450Kms in the city with a casual boot here and there.
If modified slightly yet modestly, it would achieve an attractive soft V8 note.
All round, a great buy that I will never look back on. I will be hanging onto this one for a long time! She is a performance capable car in an attractive yet modest body.
V6 will never make a v8 noise, lexcen is a very nice and craft car is better than a plain jane commondore thanks for letting me comment on this article.
The V6 with a big-bore kit makes a lovely V8-like sound.
OK sure, not *exactly* like a V8 but it can produce a deep tone and a satisfying rumble when blipping the throttle.
How could a Lexcen have better fuel consumption than its Commodore cousin? Do the Toyota badges weigh less? that's about the only difference between the two.
