Blackkluger

we had a look at these. Loved it but couple of down sides and therefore decided to choose alternative. main issue: Made in USA. with our previous car being made in USA the quality was terrible and haphazard. Lower specs the rear window does not open, only on top model Price way too high compared to old model

has anyone checked if the windscreen has disloged? try pushing it out from the inside and see if it moves....

just found out today i can get a hSW top of the range diesel land rover disco 4 for $90k driveaway, far more features than the vx landcruiser. Doubtful reliability

The GX is great, i would be happy paying the asking price but i need a 7 seater and hence, no option for this. THe prado, are you joking? Love the prado but that diesel is no good for me. I need something that is modern and has a bit more power, even if they instroduced a 3.0v6 diesel.

me too, do all the early diesels have the oil issues? Also what is the fuel economy when not towing(may i ask?)

How can toyota genuinely sell the landcruiser 200 series at such a price. Even the basic GXL(obviously more goodies now compared to a second hand 2008 model) has camera etc standard, but still, $90k driveaway? You can pick up for $59k driveaway the latest patrol Y62 with a much more powerful v8 petrol. Yes no diesel but surely $30k of fuel will go a long way... anyone know of a good price for the vx or sahara around? how to get a good deal?

bluetooth is bluetooth, should really work with any phone. i know iPhone works perfectly.

I am stumped - once you set a destination and want to cancel it, how can you cancel apart from selecting a new destination?? Please - drives me crazy! Nearly as bad as trying to add contacts on the shortcuts or the fact you cannot dial a number whilst in motion.

I find all Toyotas I have driver, camry, vienta, kluger, prado, do not allow a cold engine to rev high. I find this a little frustrating if I have to enter a 80km zone from stand still, so basically I have to wait for a much bigger gap that I do with my other car(v8). this is a default setting which obviously designed to protect engine.gearbox.

wow so highest is 188? I just picked up a grande with 130k on the clock, I do 500-700km per week, already done 2k in the short spell. I would probably do 30k in 12 months so wont take long to hit 200k. fuel economy on premium averaging 12.7, probably 50:50 hwy/back streets.

both mine were pre-wired - sorry not sure. Speaking about lights, anyone purchased one of these?? the cost is less than 1 x genuine headlight unit. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DRL-LED-CCFL-Angel-Eyes-Projector-Head-Lights-Toyota-HighLander-Kluger-07-10-/130491260043?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e61e29c8b they also have the same for the new shape too! Any feedback would be good, as I don't want to compromise light output for looks....no matter how good!

another tip, don't let them wash your car!! do it yourself properly to minimise swirl marks!

the S is for Sport. It goes into S4, this means it will use gears 1-4 If you push lever in S mode forward, you will See S5, this means it will use all 5 gears. If you pull, it goes to S4, S3, S2. This means the same, but wont go above the number chosen in the gear. Good for caravanning if you don't want it to constantly changing from 5th to 4th to 5th with slight throttle. S mode should give you longer revs in gear.....maybe...hard to test really as depends how hard you push your right foot.

yes, one tank does both front and rear. Also, do you not have a 1000km checking still? we did with out 2008 model. if not I would highly recommend it as the bedding in process, the oil will end up with tiny metal pieces in it which could cause issues.

Hi there. I find $1200 for a water pump to be more common for luxury brands rather than a standard Toyota. Get a second opinion as my old commodore only cost $400! For transmission fluid, go to a dedicated centre for this. They say it is sealed for life however, things can enter it causing discolouration and hence, if this has occurred, and if it is true, it would be worth getting it done an I doubt it would cost that much. I had the fluid changed(not flushed) for less than $150. Do you use premium fuel or regular? if using regular there can be quicker build up of carbon on your injectors. We use premium 98 where possible(and 95 only when 98 isn't available). Gets better economy as well. Stick away from ethanol as this is too inefficient.
