Pros and cons

Pros

  • Japanese Aisin automatic
  • Large tank: 70 L
  • Sold in all major markets of the region — parts and mechanics available

Cons

  • Toyota 2AZ-FE engine (2.4): oil consumption due to stuck piston rings (especially before 2009)
  • Aisin gearbox (Toyota/Lexus 4–8-speed automatic): jolts when shifting at high mileage
  • Toyota 1MZ-FE (3.0 V6) engine: piston ring coking and oil consumption

Common problems and what to check

Engine: Toyota 2AZ-FE (2.4)

  • oil consumption due to stuck piston rings (especially before 2009)
  • stripped cylinder head bolt threads in the aluminum block
  • water pump leak

What to check when buying: oil consumption per the owner and carbon deposits on spark plugs; coolant traces under the cylinder head.

Tip: Change oil more often than scheduled (7–8k km); overheating raises the risk of stripped threads.

Engine: Toyota 1MZ-FE (3.0 V6)

  • ring coking and oil consumption
  • cracked engine mounts

What to check when buying: oil consumption; vibration at idle and when engaging a gear.

Tip: Timing belt on schedule.

Gearbox: Aisin (Toyota/Lexus 4–8-speed automatic)

  • shift shocks at high mileage
  • solenoid wear from old oil

What to check when buying: shift smoothness with a warmed-up gearbox.

Tip: Reliable gearboxes; despite being "maintenance-free", it's better to change the oil every 60–80k km.
