Not really true. If car in healthy condition, can still get around 10km/ltr real average with ron 95 if driven smoothly. On highway cruise can get 11-12km/ltr.

It's a good car, very reliable. I personally own a Mark X which is basically the same, just cheaper, coz I don't care too much about the extra luxury but if you do then the IS250 should suite you.

Very reasonable, nothing much to repair also.

Yes of course.

Yes, have done a few times, usually once every 30-40k km.

Depends on driving style also. Many just cannot drive smoothly enough to get better FC.

Once tried the chemical spray, doesn't seem to do much. Twice did the traditional method where the shop opened the intake then manually scrape out the carbon with help of cleaners. Haven't tried walnut, maybe next time.

Parts are still easy to get for both new and half cut. Can join the IS250 and Mark X FB Clubs for lots of info.

I did at Multiplex Auto, forgot how much but not cheap, maybe around rm300 now.

Well the latest Supra is still too new to be proven reliable.

Already 150+k km now. I did every 40k km so far, maybe missed once to more than 50k also.

Yeah at least should be reasonably reliable but I'm just saying better wait and see before using the new Supra as example of reliability.

Sure they have their own plus and minuses but based on most studies/surveys, Toyota and Lexus usually still tops the ranking for reliability and German cars not so much yet, even Mercs seem to have become less reliable maybe even worse than BMW. I don't dare buy German cars yet coz don't have enough money. Only can afford old Japanese cars, not even new ones too.

Not much difference to be honest, just slightly better response.

Never tried Techron but it supposedly good coz it contains the PEA active ingredient which is the only cleaner that can work in the hot environment inside engines. I instead use Gumout Fuel System Cleaner which also contains the same, buy at ACE at rm16+. Other choices that contain that ingredient are 3M and STP Fuel System Cleaners (not fuel injector cleaners ya).

No, not enough because for GDI engine, the fuel doesn't pass thru the intake! So this fuel cleaners only cleans everything else but not the intake valves.

Kayaba electronic damper.

Around rm700-800/pc if not mistaken.

For stock electronic dampers I think better not recondition. If normal or adjustable then can try places like DPuncak in Puncak Jalil.

Harga sekarang.

2008 is250 I think cannot get below 50k if good condition.

Xe30 better handling than F30?? Which F30 was that?

6ltr for the 4GR-FSE engine.

I assume it's the normal version, not the MSport?

Should be able to get a bit better FC than that. What's your best full tank distance when the fuel warning light comes on?

6.5l is a bit over, ideally only about 6.2-6.3l but for me I just put 6l enough and easy so no need to have spare 0.5l lying around.

Last time I stayed very near KLCC also, everyday jam, can still get 10-11km/ltr real average. If full highway can get 13+km/ltr, all on ron 95 only.
