kavan-k Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Why why why why why why why why are they all automatic? Is the auto box any good? I could never understand the logic behind it, all the supras etc.. for sale are auto :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Could be eynonz ;) i live lin Gloucester where its for sale so fancy a look lol. Supposedly the autos are actually faster than the manuals. Just not as fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollieh17 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Average mpg? Think i could cope tbf. Glanza aint great and its a 1.3!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm getting an average of around 21 or 22 mpg on normal country roar driving and around 24 or 25 on the motorway but this is with an open diff so once I get a different sorted I presume it will drop more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Love soarers! One of my friends owns one and it's awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Most 90's very early 00's toyota's are easy enough to work on tbh mate. Great thing about toyota engines. Basic mechanical power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Can you point me in the direction of some forums shorty? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Go onto jzx100.com loads of information there most of the mechanical things will be the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Went to see that black one today...apart from being auto...man for the money its a hell of a car. Same Price as a pretty standard specced glanza its so much more car. Loved the feeling of lazy power and comfortable performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Did you buy it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 If i had the money there and then i would have! Gotta wait for the glanza to shift/ get some money together Quote Link to post Share on other sites
