Hi, own one till sold last year for about 93k....

1.Can i know the car part is very Expensive ? Parts are not that expensive since the 1zz is a common engine...the engine parts are quite common with the wish/altis so most shops have the oil filter and etc. The only problem that I endure duringthe ownership was the o2 sensor which i changed for about rm500 in ipoh.

2.The car is alot of problem of the engine and gearbox ?
No problem on mine...btw, mine was the manual model from mutiara motors....the SMT should be quite reliable unless the owner did some hard mods to the engine such as boosting it which will definitely lessen the lifetime of the SMT

3.Does the car spend petrol like "minum air "?
It is very2 economical. Think light body with a powerful engine...even if u are heavy footed, full tank can get u about 400-500kms

4.Does the car part is fast to damage ?
What do you mean fast damage?....if u drive it as normal, then the car won't have any problems....the car is a bit low which means u'll have to becareful with high humps.....also, there are ichy handed people poking holes into ur softtop if u simply park at shopping complex and etc.

5.Does the car is worth to buy ?
Go test drive, for a 2 seater car with minimal space, it is definitely more of a weekend driver. Engine wise, it is not that powerful but sufficient to easily hit the 200kmph mark faster than other vehicles. It is a great touge machine too and handles with minimal understeer. It has a very neutral feel to it.

6.How much for the car service each time ? Hear my friend say around ( RM5xx-RM6xx )
As usual, the filter is RM30 and engine oil use fully synthetic about rm200...brake pads u can choose branded like endless or OEM toyota....plugs u can use normal iridium ones....nothing so special about it....only that u have to jack up the car and remove the rubber lining from the rear to change the oil filter...a bit more hassle than FF cars....

Hope this helps...and if u are serious about looking for one, u can ask our old sifu koolspyda.....he is most active in the ZTH forums...

The SMT is a semi manual....u still need to change gears urself but there is no clutch footwork required....

The Hard Top for the MRS is a rare item.....a new one will cost RM14k last time and i don't think they make it anymore. Just ask any MRS owners. Some of the MRS do come with the hard top when they bought it last time

There is no such thing as auto MRS.....its either manual or SMT...thats the only two choices

If he put auto, thats because as someone explained that in mudah, there is no choice for SMT

finally the sifu speaks. how you doing bro..

If you have already purchased a MRS, do come to c. highlands for a touge....you will change your opinion definitely....power is not everything....the car has minimal understeer and good handling is one of its strong points...

Moved on to a wagon already now ....need space for the kids and the stuff that comes with it....nice to hear your trip on the touge....how's the part after cameron highlands to gua musang?...i have to go to kb this weekend but most of the time i just use the east-coast highway....

Thanks for the link and good reads on your blog....if you happen to drop by ipoh again drop me a msg....we could do a touge up sometime for tea

Its quite hard back then to get one.....They used to get it in Singapore.....or else find one with hardtop....

Ouch bro... ...I swear that when my mid life crisis kicks in, its gonna be another spyder or the s2k....just u wait then

No probs on the drive by, I'm not sure where I was then....been up and down Malaysia like hell this whole mth with a cranky kid and a pregnant wife, no point disturbing you young handsome bachelors with your project runway gfs

theres a six speeder on mudah.....looks quite nice and owned by a teacher....

dear koolspyda, it would be great honour if you put up some spicy pictures soon...looking forward to it and would treat u to a lipsmacking strawberry shake in c.highlands anytime

Piggyaikz, I'm curious to why u need a LSD......u going to do a turbo-spyder project?

No the solution is to buy a wagon/SUV/MPV. Works better if u have a spare car which can go to the touge also.
