Toyota Verossa?

[familyman]

So wife is thinking of something bit more upmarket and spacious.

We both leaning towards a Verossa yet I still think the front of them is butt ugly. Still wouldn't mind one though. I thought the V7 front was butt ugly too but now love it. And I guess you hardly see the front of your own car anyway.

Your thoughts/ opinions? Is a very polarizing front on these models and I kinda need an outside opinion to see if I am wasting my time thinking it will "grow on me"

Besides the looks they are a solid car.

My brother has the Mark 2 of the same vintage. Looks a lot better. Goes well 1JZ GTE.

My mate also has a mark 2. very nice cars.

But the varosa's have potential

[Swindog]

Thats a nice looking car! Buy one, good set of rims, lower it a tad itd be mint!

[familyman]

Was leaning Verossa's way due to lack of police attention so no rims or kits for me.

Just want four doors and a big boot for golf clubs really with a bit of luxury.

Any other possible candidates that won't bore the shit out of you when driving?

SS commodore.Pivk up an early 00 for low teens.

Dear god no!! Way too soft when cornering and driving position all so wrong! Felt like whole body twisted and stretched everywhere. Disgusting!

And I have a preference for overhead cams

late model gloria/cedric v8??

[GorGasmSpecB]

V35 Skyline would be a better bet. Or a 3.0R Legacy...

[wrx_lou]

v35 skylines are fucking ugly!

and costs $40k+

I've driven an IS 250 and thought they were rather lack-lustre when it came to driving and power delivery... VERY comfortable though.

GS430 was a different story however

Tad on the expensive side however.

What're sportivos worth nowdays? Pretty tidy, spacious and don't handle badly at all...

[wrx_lou]

....assuming op has money to burn.

Considering his original idea was around the 15k mark I think he might not be wanting something that extravegant.

[aim]

Yeah realise that, edited and suggested an stiffened Camry?

[wrx_lou]

they are nice, but still around 30k for a nice one.

Unless you get an older one that is.

[aim]

He wants upmarket and spacious... Hard man to please in his price range - unless he opts for an older BMW.

Oh and btw I think those glorias look terrbile - but I've never driven one or ridden in one so can't comment on their drive

[wrx_lou]

lol yeah, lots of cars I'd take over them. Bet they drive nice. have lots of space and they dont look bad when you lower them on some nice rims.

How bout an audi?

$14k

[D-Style]

The only problem if you by one of these types of cars, just heads up that parts (no matter how small) are very hard to find.

The nissan Cima's are nice.

Toyota Crown with 4x4 V8 rawr!!!

[aim]

for the lols

[wrx_lou]

Well I guess if we're gonna be stupid....

[aim]

Did someone say luxury?

[wrx_lou]

one up on ya...

[Old Skool Subbie]

A Nissan president or a Toyota Century Old luxuary lol. but they are both slighty over the price range. I think they were both 16000 or 19,000 each.

I still want a Nissan president.. No money tho :-[
