Is250

Anyone owns a 2006-2013 model is250? ( previous model) care to share experiences?

How are the maintenance costs? Petrol consumption and insurance.

In terms of reliability, how do they fare

Usually due to long periods of parking under the sun.

 

[Flexamoria]

Long Exposer to sun, esp when u park open space never put sun shade.

Can be as bad as steering wheel melting

 

[tankgunner]

Sun is cars biggest enemy

Usually due to long periods of parking under the sun.

does this issue apply to all toyota cars

do vios or altis also have this problem

if this only happen to all toyota cars then i feel that

toyota really cmi as they are a jap giant car makers

 

[arctician]

own a 07 model..if u look at jd power reports, its top in terms of reliability

insurance is about 1.4k for me, no ncd compre

fc about 1L to 10.6km, max theoretical is 10.9KM

maintenance is ok, so far no issues just tyre change. normal servicing i.e engine oil and air/oil filter around $100 for every 5k mileage

and yes the melting dashboard issue is real, but yet to happen for me

 

[rambo22]

if roadtax is not an issue

this is the best car to keep for 10 years

06 model = say 30k
10 year coe = 60 k

total 90 k - dep 9 k

where to find a 9k car that can gv u everything

Happens to top end models because the dashboards are soft touch material. Altis and vios are hard plastics
