2005 Sportivo

[MotoMan]

Hi guys..

ive been reading this forum for the past few days and decided it was time to sign up and say hello..

Im looking at buying a Sportivo in feb 2005..

I rang toyota and they said the face lifted sportivo comes back in Feb..

Only differences are 6 speaker stereo (instead of 4) and a new look.. Price should be about the same..

do you think they will drop the power? or do they realise they are on a good thing?

perhaps they'll work on the common problems your guys have been having?

Im currently driving a 89 Seca CSX and although i love it... its starting to **** me :) especially no air conditioning.. :(

My brother just bought a brand spankers Mazda 3 SP23 and it goes fairly well..

although feels a little cramped in the drivers seat...

Is the sportivo faster than the Mazda 3?

What did you guys all pay for your Stivos? drive away price?

and lastly the all important question..

What colour do you think is best..

Im thinking either white (or snow flake as you call it :))

or total opposite Black

Thanks in advance

my 03 stivo came with 6 speakers, anyway welcom 2 the forum.... and go blue!!!!!

[AzZaMaTaZ]

the current sportivo also has 6 speakers. There must be other differences.

[influx]

[MotoMan]

ok now we have definetly established that the sportivo has 6 speakers :)

p.s. the salesman told me that the new sportivo has 2 extra speakers...

probably talking out his ****..

The blue ones are faster so they hardly ever get a decent photo of them

sportivo should be quicker than the maz3

[DevoStivo]

This is likely to be the "new look".

I'm pretty certain that it's not going to look like that, that's the US Matrix, ours will be exactly that same as the Sth African RunX and the Euro T-Sport ie looking the same as the face lifted rollas coming out of Japan. Check out the photo album, there is a link on the TOC-AU homepage. Towards the end there are some pics from South Africa as well as a pic of my blue baby and rollagirl has a few also. They will look the same from behind, it is just the bonnet, lights, grille and front bumper and splitter that are different... adn I think the wheels are a slightly different style also.

heres a link 2 a wicked blue stivo

i reckon that's wat the facelift sportivo will look like. coz that has the same side-skirts as the current one, too. however, i reckon the wheels will still be the same as the current stock ones, tho.

Enough Speculation, Check out -

You will find the new Stivo there, under "RunX RSI"

welcome buddy

i think the only really noticeable diffs are the head lights and front grill.maybe some minor interior changes.

mines an 04 and it also has 6 speakers

[MotoMan]

I just went for a test drive in a Sprotivo!

O....M....G!

i am so getting one.. stuff waiting for the new model.. i want... no I NEED ONE NOW!

btw i rekon ill get a blue one!

[lucio_libre]

Sounds like you used Lift :D :D , its pretty scary the first time.

[Danthuyer]

heheheh sounds like the lift bug has bitten someone....heheheee

I remember my first time like it was yesterday..............................................

[2zz-ge]

Are the pre-facelift models still on sale??

I hope the new models wont lack any of the substances which the current models hold, otherwise i woulda been better off buying the prefacelift.

In terms of prices, when will be the best time to buying a Sportivo??

Would it be more expensive to buying a model that's about the off sale soon??

My dad wants to get a mediocre AUTOMATIC camry but i so want to vent off another couple of grand to get Corolla Sportivo. Unfortunately, the manual transmisson really discourages my dad from looking at it.

[MotoMan]

ummm i kinda just bought a SPORTIVO!

WOOHOOO!!!!

oh and its blue :) prefacelift..

No more pre facelift sportivos now..
