Has anyone noticed how many new Klugers are on the road now days?. I live in Berwick (SE Melbourne) and on a recent outing (10km round trip) I passed 6 on the road.

Even on a drive to the local shop only 2km away I saw 2 and then yesterday there were 3 in a carpark of about 100 cars.

Is this the trend everywhere or do I just live in Kluger Central?

Seeing more and more every day. When I got mine about 2 months ago, I hardly saw any. Now I can't go for a drive without seeing another one. I live in the Sutherland shire in Sydney.

You have a white one Taka?

I won't be surprised at all that peope are buying Kluger. Of the SUV that I was looking at recently, none come close to what Kluger can or has to offer. My only concern is that with such popularity, what would be the resale value when you try to sell it second hand or trade in a few years later.

There should be no concern if it is a good car kept in good condition. You will find generally good car in high volume still be ok. Coz there will be more to choose from, people can choose colour and specs upon buying a 2nd hand Kluger II.

That is why I want a Grande. The old Kluger Grande still a very good car and many people want it.

Just came back from a 2,700km trip to QLD and back and was surprised by all the Klugers I passed on that s***hole of a National Highway (the Pacific)...

Came back down the Newell and saw a lot less.

My KX-S was faultless - will make a separate thread with a trip and fuel economy report :)

It is funny, when I drove my RX-8 today I saw a lot of Klugers and when I drove the Kluger later on I saw lots of RX-8s

Thats the second person this week I have heard this from that has been to the states and no Prado's either

All I can say, it was good to be one of the first of something big in Australia (Our Blue Kluggie was the first order of Klugers in Oz!)

I guess this is geographical thing - in my suburb I can't even step outside the corner w/out spotting at least one.

I just spent 6 weeks in the USA.

I saw a few Highlanders in most parts, but in LA, and especially Hollywood, they were everywhere.

Also, when I was returning a brand new Chev "piece of crap" SUV in Detroit, about 15 of the 20 SUVs they had were Highlanders.

Note: The highlander doesn't have the spare wheel cover we have and makes them easy to spot because it looks so bad.

How good does the black Highlander look in Prison Break :) :) :) ...

We're getting around 5 - 10 Klugers into my work everyday, sooooo many of them...

I was in Toronto (Canada) a few weeks back and saw a couple of Highlanders and then saw one in Phoenix on the way back to Sydney. Sounds like the Shire is Kluger central. See heaps around Heathcote and Engadine, as well as a fair few older models.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
