Blade vs Blade G vs Blade Master vs Blade Master G

[Alex B]

So apart from the obvious of the G specs having leather and the Masters having the 2GR does anyone have a decent list of differences between these?

Swinging towards a Blade G at the moment but I can see me wanting the Master in reality.

The Blade Master G sounds like a Ninja that chose the Thug Life

[Alex B]

Yeah it might end up with Corolla GLX badging if I buy one.

Blade master g has radar criuse control and is way faster, also, it doesnt use any more gas than the non master.

Owned a Master G for over a year now , fantastic car . Not sure what to replace it with .
Yes has radar cruise and half leather and sat nav , I think that's it for extras over a Master . A lot of car for the money .

Have had an 08 Master G for a few months now, love it.

Radar cruise control is an awesome feature.

Mine ran 14.5 in the 1/4 with a 2.3 60', would do 14.0 if I put decent tires on it (still has its original OEM set) so not a slow car.

2GR of this vintage are near bulletproof, the same cannot be said for the 2az from what I hear...

[Alex B]

What sort of fuel consumption are you finding it uses?

[steroidcontaskie]

Not sure about actual usage of the blade/master, but the aurion and the camry (same engines 3.5 & 2.4) both use 9.9L per 100K combined cycle in the ozzie tests.

Blade will be 150kgs lighter so take a bit off those figures. Many closer to 9?

Unless someone that owns one can chime in that might be the best estimate you can get.

My old lady has a master g they are crazy as shes had it about 8 months and loves it

The only down side with a Master is that they only have a 50 litre tank and the range is about 480ks. It's fuel usage is totally dependent on how far your right foot is pushed to the floor . But fuel vs performance is worth it .

seems like great fuel economy to me. modern cars are awesome! STi wouldnt even get close to that and would probably lose a drag race with one too.

[Alex B]

Yes it's certainly a bit better than the MPS.

first time i clicked into this,

i thought this was about beyblades for some reason.

My old V4 STI was getting around 10L/100KM or better which is close, didnt think it was too bad for a 2LT 4WD

Nice looking cars those, can anyone tell me what you mean by radar cruise control?

[thegreatestben]

They detect objects in front and adjust your speed to the same and keep your distance

[iOnic]

Is boost the only reason why the MPS makes more torque almost 2000rpm earlier out of a smaller engine or are the Blades heavily restricted?

hmm maybe its time to do something about the bung o2 sensor in mine then

thats clever, I was either thinking this is what is as about or it dropped your speed with radar guns were detected (that would be handy)

When I was driving my sisters car is Aussie last week I used cruise control alot but it was a pain in the arse when people in front of you fluctuate their speed constantly, I guess this would be useful in that situation
