Hi wazuan.
Kindly advice me on this car, Toyota Isis, 1800cc or 2000cc. Its performance, fuel economy,price range and spare parts availability.

I trust wazua so much thats why I feel this is the best place to seek advice.
Thank you

more spacious than toyota wish but heavier by 100kgs hence may consume slightly more that a wish

@Mmarto,
Thanks for your response. I have liked its volume (just between Wish and Noah)and shape.
do you know more about spare availability? Any structural defects(Rem Toyota Voltz was withdrawn)?

kindly share

the wish is being retired(if it has not already been). The ISIS will still be available for the next few years, ex-japan i.e

ISIS is not English or Japanese for that matter. It is Egyptian god of Fertility.

@ Simo, Does it guzzle more than the cars in the same league?. That is, more than any other make of the same Engine capacity?

i am not very positive about the D4D engine on this particular vehicle, some pundits in wazua gave a rather not so good rating, the word was akin to a sensitive engine, albeit good but needs care

D4 is the same as Mitsubishi's GDI so d4D is the deisel version. these engines need extra care but they are lovely and fuel efficient.

I agree. i once drove a 2000cc from mombasa and the car was doing 19.8km/l at 100-120km/h.It had a screen that displayed this. very stable on the road. I was tempted to hit 140-150km/h but we were with 1st lady.and she was the speed governor throughout. Thats when i felt i need this car.Lakini bado nina procastinate.

It has a bigger space that is more comfortable than Wish. Actually its a real 7 seater with the extra two back seats able to host adults very comfortably, unlike Wish that only accommodates children at the back
