Description
Bought a year ago from Goodmayes Motors near Essex, Importers of quality Japanese MPVs (check Google maps reviews).
Car is running great. Battery started to die in October so I put a new one in, as well as got a service at Jade Autos in Sutton (another Japanese car specialist /Importer ).
Recent M.O.T done, no issues.
Imported a year ago and have not had an underbody treatment like Waxoyl done, as it wasn't recommended as worthwhile by Goodmayes for a car this old.
In the time we have had it it's run great. Engine is fantastic, lots of power when you need it and so it moves better than something so heavy should. It's very thirsty though mind.automatic gearbox has been great.
2 sets of keys.
One weird feature is the front passenger seat is wheelchair accessible: press a button on the seat or on a remote and it will swing out and down to make entering easier.
The flip down TV doesn't work currently with the head unit, and even if it did its original and not bright and very low resolution, so if you want to use that you'll need to upgrade it to a unit like xtrons.
We replaced the Japanese head unit with a pioneer one, so the car now has all the usual things like android auto, Google maps etc. Speakers are decent, they got a little better after the pioneer was r installed.
It has reversing camera, reversing sensors, electric folding mirrors, electric side doors, 4WD (not sure exactly how it works tbh, think when you engage it just helps for traction when needed). It's got cruise control but I never figured out how to use it.
Obviously massive amounts of space, middle and rear rows can move back and forth a lot making it very versatile.
No roof rack. One is available from Japan according to Goodmayes. No tow bar.
Just had it properly cleaned by a car Detailer.
The light interior really makes the inside a nice place to be.
You'll need to go with a specialist insurer, it was pretty reasonable for me.
Also Road tax is imported PLG at 360 a year, which is very reasonable considering the engine size and power.
Only reason we are selling is my wife doesn't like how big it is, she finds it hard to drive and park. Otherwise it's a great car.
