Ask Kdi : TOYOTA CALDINA 1.8 NA OR 2.0 TURBO

Salam…sy nk tny pendapat semua pasal kereta toyota caldina thn 2004…
encik2 sumer ader info pape x pasal masalah2 kereta ni….juz nk mtk pendapat

Kdi: Toyota Caldina merupakan sebuah model yang tidak sepatutnya berada di luar Jepun namun ia diimport ke Malaysia sebagai kereta recond. Design sports wagon ini sangat cantik dan menggiurkan terutama apabila ia masih baru memasuki pasaran Malaysia sekitar tahun 2007 iaitu selepas Toyota menamatkan pembuatan Toyota Caldina 1.8 NA dan 2.0 GT four.

Merujuk kepada soalan, adakah berbaloi membeli Toyota Caldina 1.8 ZT na atau 2.0 GT- four turbo? Jika keadaan kereta itu masih elok luar dan dalam, maka dengan harganya sekarang yang jauh lebih rendah di bawah 100K, ia adalah berbaloi terutama bagi model 2.0 GT – four.

Kereta ini menjangkau hayat melebihi 10 tahun, jadi maintenance memang tinggi untuk anda menukar belting, minyak hitam, minyak atf gearbox, engine mounting yang sudah bergegar, servis aircond dan lain-lain

Ini bermakna jika anda mempunyai wang extra dalam RM10K untuk mengembalikan kereta kepada keadaan yang lebih baik, ia sangat berbaloi untuk dimiliki kerana luaran yang sangat sporty walaupun dalamannya nampak sangat outdated.

Berikut info tambahan mengenai Toyota Caldina :

The Toyota Caldina is an automobile manufactured by Toyota for the Japanese market and was released in 1992. It replaced the Toyota Carina and Toyota Coronawagons, and was sold at both Toyota Storeand Toyopet Store locations in Japan.

While the Caldina has never been officially exported by Toyota outside of Japan, its All-Trac 4WD capability and large capacity have made it a popular grey import in Australia, New Zealand, Russia and many South American countries.

The Caldina was discontinued in 2007, with the Toyota Avensis wagon assuming the market position previously held by the Caldina.

The all-new Caldina of September 2002 is a pure sports wagon, and does not share body panels with Allion, Premio, and Avensis. Engines for the Caldina are 1.8 L 1ZZ-FE, 2.0 L 1AZ-FSE, or 2.0 L turbo 3S-GTE. Trim levels are 1.8 X, 1.8 Z, 2.0 Z, 2.0 ZT, and 2.0 GT-Four (the latter is coded ST246). There is also a MKII Model years 2005-2007 with Minor refresh was given to them. All models have automatic transmission and the GT-Four only comes in tiptronic transmission. With the discontinuation of Celica, the Caldina was one of the sportiest Toyota models sold in Japan.

Caldina GT-Four is also widely available as a reconditioned grey-import car in Malaysia.

Production of the 3rd generation Caldina ended in 2007. That was also the end for both the 3S-GTE engine and the “GT-Four” moniker in Toyota’s lineup.

As a tribute to Toyota motor sport development guru and the creator of the first GT-Four, Hiromu Naruse, a special edition Caldina GT-Four was produced. The Caldina GT-Four “N” edition. (N for Naruse).

This model was equipped with several performance enhancements specified by Hiromu Naruse:
