Anyone had any experience with these?

Apparently common as anything in Japan, so guessing parts will be more available here soon?

Have a dream of a supercharged/turbo one but still rollin' on wheel trims... :roll:

As an aside has anyone driven anything 1NZFE with turbo/supercharger, preferences?

There was that supercharged bB for sale on here a while back, maybe flick the dude a PM. Pretty sure it was a 1500 one.
Oh, I had to find a wheelbearing for one yesterday. Same as Yaris, so I imagine most of the underpinnings will be the same.

1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

The ugliness is part of the appeal, in fact it's the major part, also being a square wagon it has more interior space than other similar sized vehicles...

They seem pretty good value compared to similar Toyota products too

IMO it looks like a more-square fielder:

Why they opted to turn the next generation of suberb looking bz-rolla sleighs of doom into people mover (i.e. the 'z-aerotourer') is beyond me :roll:.

I've seen one round the upper Shore, I quite liked it (although not immediately!), I think it appeals to my 80's oriented tastes.

+1 to AE86less's comments! I am the essence of 80's uglyness!
