I think car to car their gap with Merc/bimmer/Audi is widening. Just too much cost-cutting and it got worse from gen to gen. If really desire peace of mind, the Toyota options are better value. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my brother, sister got all Volvo, BMW, Merc and my friend Audi. We never compare price, just how comfortable you are with it. My Brother's got an E250 but end up also give it up due to some unhappiness. For me, I just want the peace of mind, my ride already five years but cannot compare. Mine like new and low mileage and got sound proof done up. So I just been happy with myself than compare 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is also the problem - they are really just a Toyota+ product. I was blowed away as a young man when I sat in the Gen2 IS250 (2006-2013) ... exterior and interior quality is so good. All the recent models after 2012 seem to be pretty sad.. just my opinion 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally is depends on what you like from service, looks, different aspect of comfort and handling. But just as you say Toyota +, isn't other higher branding also call Toyota + brands? Is an upgrade as mentioned. I agree to pay for + lor. If someone don't like also no choice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wongysis Neutral Newbie April 21, 2022 Share April 21, 2022 Hi all, i would like to seek your advice on Lexus RX 200T 360 camera. I am driving 2016 RX200T and recently my rear camera spoilt! As such, when I reverse, the 360view shows only the front and side view while the rear is not shown. Went to Borneo Lexus Svc center and was quoted $1.8k just to replace the tiny rear camera (i.e. the one above the number plate). Would like to find out if there are other options available? Thoughts? Thanks much in advance! Cheers! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for boss Max Yao. http://www.elebestsg.com I had my 2010 IS250 fixed at a fraction of the cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozentouch Clutched July 21, 2022 Share July 21, 2022 (edited) Hi all. I just bought a 2017 RC200t. When I start up the car, the air con will emit a sour smell. This sour smell will dissipate after 30 seconds or so. I brought to BM and they told me to switch off aircon before I switch off the engine before alighting. Also, I have to start engine then switch on the aircon when driving off. This don't sound right to me as I have driven different brands of cars for the past 10 years and this is the first time I encounter this. May I ask if you have similar encounter and how did you manage to fix it? Thanks. Edited July 21, 2022 by Frozentouch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice. I sent the car for servicing last week with this 60 000KM SYNTHETIC SERVICE PACKAGE which includes the change of filter by BM. Not sure if the filter is the one you mentioned. I'll check with BM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR2SBA 2nd Gear August 17, 2022 Share August 17, 2022 @t0y0ta They have a shop with many sales reps at 76, Dunlop Street. If it is ex-stock like typical consumables (wiper refill, brake pad), you can wait and collect on the spot. Else, you can also order and collect the parts at their warehouse at Ubi.
