I am currently whipping around in an old V6 camry. It doesn't set the world on fire and it is does everything I need, when I need it. The stand out for me though is the 3VZ-fe engine. Its smooth, powerful enough and is a lovely thing to pedal about during my daily drive.
Which brings me to a Lexus, if I am satisfied with my V6 Camry, I have been thinking that I would really appreciate the 1UZFE V8 and the extra space and build quality that the lexus would bring. I have found one for sale, suprise suprise, owned by an elderly gentleman at my bowls club. Its a 1994, four speed with 90,000 ish kms. The research I have done into the 1UZFE indicates that it is a seriously well engineered engine, supposedly taken from a CART engine or something. These days the 190kw it produces isnt much chop, but having never driven one I am assuming it would be smooth and 'strong'? Im not after a sports car or a drag strip beast, just a comfortable daily drive for my 50km round trip rural commute. Has anyone had any experience with one? |
