We are looking at one of these, but am a little unsure as to the difference between the 'S', 'I', 'U' models. Any information about these would be greatly appreciated. Any experiences! Thanks

the s is the sport model with adjustable suspension and a tiptronic mode. from memory the i is the base model and often doesnt come with cameras and 16 inch wheels. the U is the top model which is basically a sport but with beige interior and some have cruise control. buy the highest spec one you can for the money.

things to look for are: worn steering rack bushes, wriggle the steering left to right and listen for knocking. look for uneven tyre wear on the fronts.

Yes the Japanese beige velour interior eh ! The only place beige works is in an Alfa with leather (and from memory are more of a "tan"). I would rather just accept good old boring grey or black otherwise thanks.

Thanks for the info. I have also seen a few of them with the screen in the dash board. Is this for the cameras or for a navigation system! Is it a radio / stereo control also!

The screen is indeed for the satnav in the base modelbut also its the screen for the reversing camera and front parking camera

as above, the screen is the stereo and navigation, although the navigation doesnt work in NZ. it also has the reversing camera which is GREAT.it also has an AUX video input which i have used to feed a media player into the stereo.

We have an S version, with adjustable shocks.Engines are all the same across all models to my knowledge (2AZ-FE's) 2.4L.We get about 9.2L per 100kms out of it.S models get the body kit and 16 inch mags.We bought our one from Toyota under SBT and have just noticed the steering squeak in the bushes so will be getting that fixed under their warranty programme at next service.Good car other than that.

you can see the whole rack move in relation to the chassis when they are stuffed. there is no direct replacement for them, alhough i beleive some suspension shops have been able to adapt (hilux!) and estima ones to fit

You can get new bushes for the racks. Its a simple press in bush much cheaper than a new rack.
