Hi Guys,

New to the board, which is excellent by the way.

Athe the moment I am giving some very serious thought to buying a ZX.

Its probably a dirty word to you guys, but I currently drive a Lexus Soarer 2.5TT and was wondering if any of you can give me some positive feedback on the ZX, compared to the Soarer.

Taking a quick look around your board, it seems that the ZX is extremely expensive to maintain. Some help would also be appreciated it what to look out for in terms of problems before I purchase.

As an alternative, I may even consider doing a straight swap with my Soarer.

Look forward to hearing your considered opinions.

Martin

Have a look here for our buyers guide:

buy a well maintained one from here is probably the best advise you'll get.

I think with the advice and traders we have on here, especially the second hand parts guys, the Zed is not that expensive to maintain. I have chosen to limit mine to weekends etc instead of a daily driver, but that's due to the fuel consumption and insurance deal more than anything else.

 

Not driven a Soarer but would guess that power delivery is similar but the 300 is more overtly sporting than the more comfort oriented Toyota. Go drive one and find out!
